Various - Le Québec Yéyé Vol 1

Review by Jill Lampi

Le Québec Yéyé is an album that brings together some of the biggest names in Quebec's yéyé music scene from the 1960s. The compilation features 24 tracks from various artists, including Les Baronets, Les Sultans, and Les Hou-Lops, among others.

The album captures the essence of the yéyé movement, which was characterized by its upbeat, poppy sound and catchy lyrics. The songs are sung entirely in French, which adds to their authenticity and charm.

The production quality of the album is top-notch, with each track sounding crisp and clear. The instrumentation is lively and energetic, with a mix of guitars, drums, and horns creating a sound that is both nostalgic and fun.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "C'est À L'Amour Auquel Je Pense" by Les Baronets. The song's catchy melody and upbeat tempo make it impossible not to tap your foot along. Another highlight is "Le P'tit Poppy" by Les Hou-Lops, which has a more rockabilly feel to it and features some impressive guitar work.
