AI Summary

long article 5 min

La chanteuse et guitariste canadienne d’origine haïtienne, Mélissa Laveaux, sortira son cinquième album, *At My Softest, I Am Most Dangerous*, le 25 mars 2026. Cet album explore ses expériences avec la mort et son obsession pour les esprits, une idée qui a germé en 2020. L'inspiration lui est venue d'une commande d'un magazine, d'une résidence au château de Monthelon en Bourgogne, et d'un voyage au Botswana et au Zimbabwe. Lors de ce voyage, une rencontre avec une vieille dame dépressive faisant de la musique avec son fils a profondément influencé l'orientation de l'album. L'album s'inscrit également dans son héritage culturel haïtien, où le monde des morts et des vivants sont étroitement liés.
