Artist: Bernard Côté
Song: Entre Deux Couleurs
Label: J Smile Records
Genre: Folk Rock, Americana
Releasing music for over two decades, Canadian country-folk songwriter Bernard Côté has received love throughout his country. Singing in French, his songs don’t necessarily carry over to America as well as I’m sure he would hope, but with singles like “Entre Deux Couleurs”, the music is so good and uplifting, it could overcome a language barrier (it certainly did for me).
Released in 2022, “Between Two Colors” is filled with joy. Côté‘s vocals have a sweet soulfulness to them, and the rollicking chorus, with its gang harmonies, sounds made to clap along and stomp your feet to. I could see American country fans dancing to the song in a barn, even as the tribal drums are closer to the percussions of indigenous peoples’ music than our anglo-fied pop country.
