Ils ont enregistré ce qu’ils ont créé cette journée-là, pour ensuite en oublier complètement l’existence. Ce n’est qu’un an plus tard que CRi a retrouvé cet enregistrement dans ses dossiers. Il raconte : J’étais seul dans mon nouveau studio au huitième étage d’un immeuble du Mile End, il y avait un super coucher de soleil. Alors que je cherchais dans ma banque d’échantillons, j’ai remplacé par erreur la progression d’accord de la chanson. C’est là que le déclic s’est fait. J’ai tout effacé, puis j’ai commencé à échantillonner la voix de manière hyper spontanée. En 40 minutes j’avais la chanson qu’on connaît aujourd’hui. C’est la chanson conçue le plus rapidement de ma courte histoire de musicien. Cette pièce est la trame sonore d’un moment bien précis et c’est ce qui lui donne son aspect singulier.
Présentement disponible en précommande, l’album Juvenile est le premier en carrière pour le producteur québécois et paraîtra sous l’étiquette Anjunadeep, une maison de disque indépendante très respectée en musique électronique qui est basée à Londres.

CRi : new single From Me
After Never Really Get There and Runaway, CRi unveils From Me, a new single from his upcoming album (to be released on October 16th). The two first singles have already been listened to over one million times on various platforms. The album features entrancing collaborations with artists such as Bernache, Daniel Bélanger, Jesse Mac Cormack, Robert Robert, and Sophia Bel.
From Me is the product of an inspired collaboration between CRi and Bernache (singer from the band Men I Trust). Both natives of Quebec City, they had known of each other without really knowing each other... Three years ago, they finally met for the first time to make music together:
I remember that we talked a lot. We had to get to know each other a little bit before making music. It was our first time meeting face to face. It can be awkward to make music with a stranger, but I think there's also something really pure about it, says CRi.
They recorded that day, and then completely forgot about it... It wasn't until a year later that CRi rediscovered the recording in his files. He says: I was alone in my new studio on the eighth floor of a building in the Mile End, there was an amazing sunset. While searching through my samples bank, I mistakenly replaced the song’s chord progression. That's when it clicked. I erased everything, then I started to sample the voice very spontaneously. In 40 minutes I had the song you hear today. It's the fastest song creation in my short history as a musician. This single is the soundtrack to a very specific moment- and that's what gives it its singular sound.
Currently available for pre-order, the album Juvenile is the first in the Quebec producer's career, and will be released on the Anjunadeep label, a highly respected independent electronic music label based in London.
