As airy as Ingrid St-Pierre's songs can be thanks to the French-Canadian singer and pianist's delicate voice and free-flowing melodies, her music is also unflinchingly honest about some of life's toughest aspects. She has enthralled Québécois audiences with that rare combination of qualities ever since her 2011 breakthrough, “Ficelles,” a haunting song inspired by her grandmother's battle with Alzheimer's. In more recent standouts like “Tokyo Jellybean,” she finds her own place between two of her biggest influences by adding the steelier edge of Marie-Jo Therio to a more winsome style that evokes Françoise Hardy.
