In this fascinating exchange, Corneille confides in his need to turn to music as therapy, an outlet born from his life experiences.

Despite the obstacles and the singularity of his musical style, neither totally soul, nor variety or rap, Corneille was able to impose his unique imprint. By drawing on his experiences, he shaped an unclassifiable sound, which escaped the musical categories of the time and allowed him to carve out a place for himself as a true R&B UFO.
During the conversation, he tells us about his daily life in Montreal, his influences and recommends some emerging Canadian R&B talents. The highlight of the show is undoubtedly the live performance of the cult song Alone in the world by Corneille and Because we come from far away revisited in a neo soul version by Nallaa vibrant tribute to this timeless classic.
