Polaris-nominated Acadian songwriter Lisa LeBlanc has announced her new album, Patchwork, due out January 29 via Bonsound and released lead single, ‘A Fleeting Thought Becomes Another Fleeting Thought’ with a video by Alexandre Pelletier. The song’s harmonies echo those fleeting ideas that quickly arise and vanish just as fast.
Lisa delivers a playful take on repetition on ‘A Fleeting Thought Becomes Another Fleeting Thought,’ the opening track from Patchwork, her sixth album. Set to a galloping rhythm, the song builds in intensity with dramatic organ melodies and a folky 12-string electric guitar while showcasing Lisa’s enchanting vocals. The layers of repeating vocal harmonies echo her restless nature and the fleeting thoughts that often cross her mind before she can even grasp them, a theme that directly inspired this new earworm.
Lisa explains, “This was the first song to be written on what would become the Patchwork record. I wanted the chorus to repeat multiple times to create a sort of hypnotic drone that mimics the restless feelings and thoughts that constantly spiral in my mind. The influences were a mix of ‘Edge of Seventeen’ by Stevie Nicks, 60s rock and roll and even a little medieval touch with the 12-string electric guitar.”
Director, Alexandre Pelletier says “Aiming for exceptional performances in exceptional settings was the mantra that guided us while making this music video. Much like the song, the Acadian landscape is as magnificent as it is mysterious. Both during location scouting and filming, we were mesmerized by the sunsets that lit up the fields and the twilight mist gliding across the water—and we tried to capture those moments on camera.”
