After more than a decade of uninterrupted success, with prestigious nominations (JUNO®, Félix) and platinum-certified albums, Bobby Bazini returns to the spotlight with Pearl, an album that marks a true musical renaissance.
Released in the fall of 2023, this self-produced album quickly captured attention across Canada and beyond, receiving widespread critical acclaim: La Presse describes it as an album that “makes you want to see life from the bright side,” while Le Devoir calls it “a balm for the soul and a cream against life’s UV rays.” Atwood Magazine praises its “cinematic, soulful, and smoldering” quality, while MOJO Magazine sees it as “the new soundtrack for sultry summer nights.”
This musical turning point also propelled Bobby Bazini to a global audience, attracting the attention of influential figures such as Huey Morgan from Fun Lovin’ Criminals, Jamie Cullum, Nic Harcourt from KCRW, and DJ Gilles Peterson, who was so taken with the song Waterfallin’ that he created a remix. In fact, the original version of the track was included in BBC Radio 6’s best songs of 2023, solidifying the artist’s place among the most innovative of his generation.
Pearl is more than just an album; it’s an experience, a musical journey that speaks of renewal, love, and the human condition with a depth that resonates with both sensitive souls and adventurous hearts. A true tour de force from an ever-evolving artist.
