After 6 years (has it been that long?) Colleen is back with a new disc of french-language songs. “Le Bonheur Domestique” covers the trials, tribulations and\u00a0unexpected\u00a0joy of being a mother in the modern world.
\nColleen Power<\/strong> is a survivor, a prime example of endurance. When she debuted in September 2000, she appeared to be on the verge of making a big splash nationally. Ah, but the music industry Gods are fickle and cruel – yet Colleen persisted.\u00a0 As an outsider she has released a plethora or marvelously diverse and highly enjoyable recordings.<\/p>\n

Under the influence of Sinead O’Connor<\/strong>, Colleen fired ahead becoming more favourably compared to the late Kirsty MacColl<\/strong> – distinguishable, recognizable but always on the fringes of the mainstream.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This, her second all french recording is an absolute beauty.\u00a0 She has always brought her “A game” as a vocalist, rich in character, expression and emotion and her band always features the “cream of the crop” on the local live music circuit.\u00a0 Featuring an all-star cast, the likes of Duane Andrews<\/strong>, Sandy Morris<\/strong>, Mark Bragg<\/strong> and the ever present Aneirin Thomas<\/strong> on bass.\u00a0 Canadian folk icon, Fred<\/strong> Eaglesmith<\/strong> drops in on 2 tracks and lest I forget, even kitchen\/home appliances and utensils are put to rhythmic use.<\/p>\n

“Le Bonheur Domestique” is a truly pleasurable listen.<\/p>\n
