Three Little Words

Description

After the minimalist blues tones of Nameless (2017) and the warm jazz colors of Stay Tuned! (2019), the Canadian soul jazz revelation Dominique Fils-Aimé delivers Three Little Words, the final chapter of a trilogy inspired by the legacies of African American music that explores the emotional palette of soul music from yesterday to today. Nominated for the Polaris Prize and winner of the Félix Awards in 2019 and the Juno Award in 2020, Dominique Fils-Aimé is a Montreal-based singer-songwriter who draws inspiration from soul jazz icons such as Billie Holiday, Etta James, and Nina Simone, and whose voice transcends contemporary urban soundscapes. Her new album is imbued with dreams come true and gentle summer breezes. The echoes of a difficult past still resonate in the depths of our wounds, but we are healing and moving forward together; like a single determined soul. A captivating blend of atmospheres and grooves, her first single "Love Take Over" evokes the fall of male supremacy and the rise of feminine forces leading towards a path of freedom. Love is the cornerstone of the energy that unites us all, and in this new era of uncertainty, unity is more necessary than ever. The empowerment emanating from "Love Take Over" recalls past revolutions in both music and politics. Civil rights movements were born from acceptance and compassion, from learning about others. Daring to swim against the tide is the inspiration for Dominique Fils-Aimé to foster change and open new perspectives. Three Little Words is a striking self-critical look at societal change that reminds us that it is equality and love that nourish the soul and urge us to do better. On this third album, love and self-love form the thread of Ariadne and the key to opening the path to equality.
