Accessible since midnight Thursday, the project includes 13 titles including “ten songs and three instrumental pieces” created for the musical of the same name. “Karl Tremblay will have had time to sing six,” the group said on social networks.
For the occasion, a music video was also created for the song “La fin du show” with a host of images of the singer. The “flagship song of the musical and masterful piece sung on the album by our dear Karl comes at the same time with a moving video clip”, we specify.
We can see archive images that retrace the life of the late artist, both on stage and in more intimate moments.
“Are we at the end of the show? I think it’s the end of the show Karl, is it the end of the show? Yes, we’re at the end of the show…” says the singer on the piece lasting more than 7 minutes.
The clip was directed by Louis-Philippe Eno.

In a message published Wednesday evening on Facebook, Jean-François Pauzé, main songwriter and guitarist of the group, admitted to experiencing “tangled emotions” a few hours before the release of this “ultimate album made with Karl”.
“It is with full respect for his memory and with lots of love that we completed the unfinished work after his death,” Pauzé wrote.
“I think my old friend would be proud of the work accomplished,” he added.
