JOE ROCCA UNVEILS SOPHOMORE ALBUM HYBRIDE, OUT NOW
Joe Rocca presents “Blues de Jeans”, another foretaste of his sophomore solo album Hybride, out now. With its catchy melody, smooth flow, and sultry, nocturnal production, Blues de Jeans is the perfect song for long summer nights. This single is accompanied by a music video directed by Étienne Lacelle.
On “Blues de Jeans”, we float weightlessly in a fog of love, between desire and depression, vulnerability and affection. Dreamy R&B, introspective pop, and ethereal rap are all epithets that can qualify Rocca’s personal, but by no means hermetic signature. This blend of styles is highlighted in this new single, which stands out thanks to its glossy melody. Blues de Jeans was produced by beatmaker Worry, producer, multi-instrumentalist and hit-making machine Félix Petit, and musician Jean-Michel Frédéric.
The song’s music video was directed by Étienne Lacelle, who also worked with Joe on the videos for 21 Grammes and Qui d’Autre. Somewhere between Eyes Wide Shut and Omertà , the song’s imagery features Joe Rocca as the master of ceremonies of a secret cabaret. Following a few strange shows, a mysterious woman delivers a performance that completely bewitches him. However, his obsession for her is quickly noticed by his enemies… What will be the price of his devotion? For Blues de Jeans, we wanted to live up to our ambition and try to do something a little bigger, a little more glamorous, adds the director. We were very lucky to have such a talented team both behind and in front of the camera. This allowed us to bring the unique world of this music video to life, inspired by the mood and lyrics of Blues de Jeans.
This summer, Joe Rocca will be performing at various festivals in Quebec, including Le FestiVoix de Trois-Rivières, La Noce, and Festival d’été de Québec. More dates will be announced soon, notably in Montreal. See the list below for all details.
