GEOFFROY’S 4TH LP, GOOD BOY, OUT NOW & CANADIAN TOUR DATES BEGIN JULY 1
Montreal artist Geoffroy has released his fourth studio album, Good Boy, and the new video for “Early Morning Sun”, a track which he considers to be the “the heart of the album. It recounts the trip I took to Mexico City in April of 2022, where an unexpected encounter with a 2-year-old dog named Papi completely changed my life,” he explains.
“While staying in Roma Norte, just minutes away from Parque Mexico, I stumbled upon a weekly pet adoption event. Amongst the litters of puppies, I saw Papi, sitting there, waiting, looking lonely. I tried taking him for a walk but he didn’t want to steer away from the shelter lady. I didn’t force anything, took a few pictures and left. No other dog there caught my attention or interest. But this one invaded my thoughts for the next few days, to the point where I had a hard time fully enjoying my vacation. I kept thinking about whether or not I should take him home with me. I’ve always wanted a dog…but was I ready? Would I give him a better life? Fuck. Maybe.
The day before my return, literally, I texted the lady from the shelter and told her I would take him, if she could bring him to the airport and meet me there before my flight. She was to bring the dog with a travel cage, a leash and a little homemade jacket. I had pulled the trigger but still a bit on the fence about the whole thing. But I followed intuition. I got to the airport and waited for them to arrive. They got there late. Because of that, I missed my flight home by a few minutes. But as fate would have it, a kind manager at AeroMexico understood our story and graciously got me a new flight without charge. My new amigo flew in his cage, checked-in underneath me. I found him petrified when I got my luggage at YUL. We went straight from the airport to my cottage and slowly got to know each other. Fast forward two years, and he’s not just a pet – he’s my sidekick, my best pal, and makes me smile every day. Adopting him was hands down one of the best choices I ever made.”
