Info for Old Love (Single)
"Old Love" is an unreleased bonus song from Dominique Fils-Aimé's sophomore album "Stay Tuned!".
Fils-Aimé's sophomore album, Stay Tuned!, is the second album in a trilogy through which the singer and La Voix semifinalist explores the roots of African-American musical culture. An ambitious, beautiful collection, Stay Tuned! is primarily steeped in jazz and R&B, as Fils-Aimé "delves into the civil rights movement of the '60s," whereas the first instalment of the trilogy, Nameless, leaned more heavily toward blues, inspired by Maya Angelou's poem "Still I Rise" and the forms of work songs. Fils-Aimé's stunning voice centres Stay Tuned!, with layered harmonies, vocal manipulations and percussive rhythms that carry from hushed tones to bold exclamations. At times joyfully affirmative ("Good Feeling"), at others suspicious and doubtful ("Gun Burial") and yet others part celebratory gospel ("Joy River"), Stay Tuned! is a captivating project.

Dominique Fils-Aimé
Singer-songwriter from Montreal and of Haitian descent, puts the history of African-American music culture at the centre of her work, particularly in a trilogy of albums: "Nameless" (2018) explores the blues, "Stay Tuned" (2019) focuses on jazz - it won the JUNO for vocal jazz in 2020 - and "Three Little Words" (2020) is inspired by soul icons. "Three Little Words" was shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize and reached #2 on the Canadian charts. In 2022, she presented her show to a sold-out Théâtre Maisonneuve during the Montreal Jazz Festival and performed at double concerts in France, with Diana Krall in Marciac and with Melody Gardot in Vannes.
