Simone is the portrait of an affectionate and playful dog… who could sometimes be moody and violent. With this single, LUMIÈRE (Étienne Côté) pays tribute to his family dog, who passed away in October 2024 after battling a terrible disease. She's bitten all of us before, and we've forgiven her every time, says Étienne. May she rest in peace, that poor, crazy thing. Amen.
Co-produced alongside Warren Spicer (Unessential Oils, Plants and Animals),* Simone* marks a new direction for the Montreal-based singer-songwriter. Fiddle and mandolin add a pastoral vibe to his usual feel-good groove, turning bittersweet memories into a bucolic celebration.
