CRi (5)

CRi quickly made his mark on the Montreal electronic scene by offering a singular sound influenced by house synths, syncopated snares, and a futuristic bassline. Self-taught, the artist managed to make a name for himself through his first two EPs; ‘Tell Her’ and ‘Someone Else’ released on TOKiMONSTA’s label, Young Art. Christophe Dubé real breakthrough happened in 2018 with a Juno nomination for the EP ‘Someone Else’ as well as MMVA and PRISM nominations for the breathtaking clip ‘Rush’ directed by Didier Charette. 2018 was also the year of the release of his mini EP ‘Me and My Friends’ as well as his collaboration with Charlotte Cardin, ‘Fous n’importe où’, which revisits Daniel Bélanger’s timeless classic. In 2019, CRi debuted on Anjunadeep with his EP ‘Initial’ which marked the continuity of his work driven by his anxieties and desires for introspection. Released november, 2020, CRi shares his latest LP named 'Juvenile'. “Juvenile is an ode to youth, innocence and dreams. The melancholy of the past and the hope of the future shape the mood of this album. The project revisits what resonated with me when I was young, and blends it with what drives me today. It’s a way for me to take stock of an era, and turn the page on something new.” – explains CRi. The LP feature collaborators come from Montréal (or at least from Québec) Sophia Bel, Jesse Mac Cormack, Daniel Bélanger, Robert Robert and Bernache.
