About a year ago, Charlotte Cardin was basking in the glory of her triumph at the Juno Awards. She had won four prestigious awards, including artist, single, and album of the year for her debut album “Phoenix.” All eyes were on her, wondering what she would do next. However, Cardin reveals that she didn’t feel much pressure as she prepared her sophomore album, “99 Nights.” In a recent interview, she said, “I never had time to stop and think, ‘Oh, the stakes are so much higher now.’ It took us four years to write ‘Phoenix,’ and when it came out, I was already working on this album.”
Cardin’s career has been in constant motion since her appearance on French Canada’s version of “The Voice” in 2013. It took a few more years for Quebec to embrace her as their new critical pop darling, but her early standout singles “Meaningless” and “Daddy” helped pave the way. After the success of her first album, Cardin faced the challenge of following it up with something substantial. Luckily, she was already almost finished with “99 Nights” by the time she won the Juno Awards.
The album explores the turbulent period of Cardin’s life when she was coming out of a difficult long-distance relationship with Quebec actor Aliocha Schneider. It forced them to “reconsider a lot of things” about their relationship. Despite the distance and the challenges they faced, the couple persevered, and “99 Nights” reflects Cardin’s optimism about their future and the choices she has made.
The album also showcases Cardin’s playful sense of humor. The track “Jim Carrey” pays tribute to the Canadian actor and his internet sermons about freeing oneself from their ego, while “Daddy’s a Psycho” humorously reflects on fathers and their complex relationships.
Cardin describes “99 Nights” as a snapshot of a specific moment in her life, recorded over the course of a summer two years ago. She and her songwriter friends spent their time in a small recording studio in her musical director’s Montreal apartment, which was still in the process of being set up. Cardin recalls it as a therapeutic experience and emphasizes how her music has grown organically.
As the album is released, Cardin is already looking ahead. She has been working on her next album for some time and sees all her projects as part of a larger catalogue that tells her personal story. While she may not have experienced a viral moment, Cardin is grateful for the opportunity to share her music with an audience and is excited about her ongoing musical journey.
In conclusion, Charlotte Cardin’s career continues to evolve with the release of “99 Nights.” This album reflects her growth as an artist and person, while also showcasing her unique musical style and playful humor. Cardin’s ability to captivate audiences with her honest and relatable storytelling sets her apart in the music industry.
