Ludovick Bourgeois' sparkling and meticulously crafted francophone music traces its lineage to some ambitious moments in pop. You can hear where the Montrealer looked for examples of passionate romantic feeling in ballads like Bon Jovi's symphonic rocker “Always” and Journey's piano-laden swooner “Open Arms.” He also nods to the catchy rhythms of The Black Eyed Peas' “Where Is the Love?” and the smooth rock of Coldplay's “Yellow.”
