Klo Pelgag Abracadabra (Cobalt)

Each new album by Klô Pelgag reestablishes her unique place in the Francophone cultural landscape. “Abracadabra” is no exception. From the first notes, the music displays more refined contrasts, and the lyrics feature more precise, powerful, poetic images. Conveying equal parts fragility and complexity, the melodies fragment, only to reappear transfigured. Klô Pelgag’s elegant voice is front and centre, as she uses it in various exploratory ways. She refuses to stagnate and she knows how to surprise and to find magic. With “Abracadabra” Klô Pelgag hopes to make the world less harsh with a simple formula. She has fun while interrogating her own certainties and anxieties, looking for meaning. This album confirms her sensational skills as a composer, arranger and musician, which make her one of the most distinctive creative forces of her generation.
