Reine du monde (Elizabeth Shepherd, 'MONTREAL', Pinwheel Music 2019)

The second in a series of 11 videos, Elizabeth Shepherd unveils the music for her ambitious multimedia project MONTRÉAL, a visual and musical ode to her hometown. Here's some background on the unique concept, in Elizabeth's own words: "Five years ago, I set out to interview people - complete strangers that I met on the street, at the market, in the subway - you name it. I asked them to tell me something about their story, their Montreal. I collected all kinds of tales - some humorous, some tragic, some outright bizarre. I then sifted through the interviews and narrowed them down to 11, which I then turned into songs. The bulk are in French, and some are in English. Each song tells someone's story, and refers to a specific location in Montreal. From there, the project exploded; I realized that I could place each of these locations that I was singing about on a map, and that they were all within walking distance of each other. I decided to create a 50-minute walk that, in the time it takes to listen to all 11 songs, would also physically take the listener through each of the places the songs were about - so people can actually walk the album, so to speak." For those who can't be in Montreal, the 6-time JUNO nominee teamed up with filmmaker Stefan Verna to create what Stefan calls a "visual album" which is projected behind the band as they play. Reine du Monde is set in the Montreal cathedral the song is named after. It's an ode to the towering women she met and spoke with who, for so long, were granted so little space within the church.
