Christian Sean presents a two-part live session showcasing three songs (Hallelujah Showers, Cold Water and Eventide) from his debut album, shot in the famed Montreal studio Madame Wood. Director Didier Pigeon-Perrault captures the musician and his band’s raw, introspective charm, giving us a glimpse into the Hallelujah Showers live experience. Christian Sean will be performing the album in full at Le Ministère as part of POP Montreal tonight. Tickets are available here.
The session is split into two single takes. The first one features Cold Water, introduced by the album’s title track. Squelches of synthetic bass pulsate beneath a pounding drum loop, propelled by a haunting topline detailing the rush of emotion that arises once the container of a relationship has collapsed.
The second video showcases Eventide, a swirling, gorgeous piece of pop songcraft on which cascading strings fuse with celestial choirs as Christian’s sweet falsetto soars above a tapestry of unsettling drones and pulsating cellos.
