Adding to her ever-developing and highly-praised, bilingual catalog, Québécois Singer-Songwriter Geneviève Racette’s new album Satellite delivers honest stories of self-discovery and reflection through the cycle of love—including the much-lauded “Someone,” Racette’s hauntingly beautiful collaboration with Dallas Green (City and Colour). Over the course of Satellite’s nine songs, Racette takes listeners on a journey through moments of love, heartbreak, healing, forgiveness, and ultimately, back to love again, all filled with intimate vocals and lush instrumentation fit for the big stages that lie in Racette’s near future. “It says something when an artist can captivate your ears with a simple acoustic record, without the aid of bombastic arrangements, vocal enhancements and other studio wizardry or inflammatory lyrical material…but Racette has done just that,” wrote antiMusic in their review of Satellite, and in an interview with The Photo Ladies, Racette outlined the theme of Satellite, calling her album’s focus “An eternal period of beginnings and endings. Forever orbiting around love.” The Bluegrass Situation recently highlighted a special live performance of the first single “Maybe,” which was filmed at Lachine’s Honkytonk Danse Country in Montréal, and Guitar Girl Magazine premiered the live video for “Hostage,” calling it, “Alluringly beautiful and poignant." Americana Highways praised Geneviève’s “rich, borderline Jewel-Sarah MacLauchlan youthful tone,” noting, “She effectively, with her own unique distinctive vocal timbre, embellishes gently and thankfully, no showboating...pristine style relaxed with passionate tone, confidence and clarity. Exceptional." Today, fans worldwide can tap into the orbit—in whichever segment of the cycle they may find themselves in at the moment—by following this link to listen to Satellite in its entirety.
