Cœur de Pirate - Impossible à aimer (2021) [Official Digital Download]

When Montreal singer-songwriter Béatrice Martin, aka Cœur de pirate, underwent vocal cord surgery in early 2021, she didn’t know if she’d ever be able to sing again. During her recovery, she recorded and released the instrumental album Perséides, which saw her lean hard on her trusty musical companion, the piano. Thankfully, Martin's voice makes a healthy return on the follow-up, Impossible à aimer, and she uses it to make peace with a part of herself: “The title [which translates to ‘Impossible to Love’] is an allusion to the fact that, since I started out in the late 2000s, my love life has been put on public display by the media, who mainly highlight the most tumultuous aspects using extremely sexist remarks,” Martin tells Apple Music. “No man would be treated like that. I actually got to a point where I thought I was the problem. But eventually I felt like setting the record straight.” In each of these songs, she dissects her past breakups as a way of starting fresh on more solid footing and focusing resolutely on brighter horizons, all through a vintage '70s lens.
