After unveiling the song Lapin earlier this fall, Hélène Barbier now presents Kindness in a Cup. This avant-pop track showcases the Montreal artist's unique voice and enthralls us from the very first notes. This is the second single from the album Panorama, out November 14th via Bonsound. The album launch shows will take place at La Toscadura in Montreal (as part of the Festival Triste) on November 27th and at Le Pantoum in Quebec City on November 28th.
Built around a hypnotic bass line, Kindness in a Cup culminates with sublime yet unexpected violin arrangements, perfectly highlighting the singer and bassist's distinctive vocal patterns. It's about the desire to keep your head above the water, while flirting with the idea of letting yourself sink, says Hélène Barbier. But there is a soothing presence in the song that ensures the story ends well.
