Lulu Hughes and the Montreal All City Big Band tossed Wednesday, June 2 at L'Astral, an album consisting mostly of covers of classic rock and R & B.
For the occasion, Lulu and orchestra, composed of 20 musicians, offered a short performance of the most representative of the album, a singing tour that seemed to delight the many guests, which included his brother, Rick Hughes and his good friend Eric Lapointe.
On his new album, the singer offers, among others, new versions of Parts Welcome to My Nightmare, Alice Cooper, Big Time, Peter Gabriel, Trouble, Mike Stoller, and Respect, popularized by Aretha Franklin song has most likely never be immortalized. "Respect was the only song I did not put on the album, confirms Lulu. As it's been so long since I sang it, I found it too easy. Following numerous comments that my team told me, I relented. I recorded the piece, but my way. "
Also among the successes of the past lies part Crazy Mama ", title song from his debut album, released in 2006. "Like the album has not had the chance to live, since the closure of the record company (Novem Music), I decided to give a second chance to this piece."
Seconded by Steve Nadeau, Lulu Hughes has once again ensured the completion of his album, which was done in fun and, most importantly, without any pressure. "Let's face it: it's still relatively easy to do this kind of record," says the singer. The songs already exist, simply rework. It's much less stressful than going to the studio and write new songs. "
A tour abroad?
After launching an album usually follows a tour. In the case of Lulu Hughes, given the magnitude of the project, nothing is certain yet, especially in Quebec. "If a room tour orchestrated, this will be abroad. Here, given the cuts in the culture, I do not really believe. I'm betting instead on English Canada and Europe, where I live now. Who knows? Maybe Quebec will follow. "
The album Lulu Hughes & the Montreal All City Big Band is now on sale.
