On his new single EASY, Toronto’s Laurent Bourque embraces an uplifting pop sound, rooted in his love of raw punchy hip-hop beats and twinkling piano themes.
Inspired by a lighthearted danceable groove, EASY draws influence from many of Laurent’s 90’s childhood favourites like Dr. Dre, 70’s classics like the Bee Gees and contemporary pop giants like Mike Posner.
On his latest album, Blue Hour (2019), Laurent garnered much attention for his sleek piano pop sound. The album’s lead single ‘Matador’ was a charting hit in Canada, it reached the CBC Music Top 20 and remained there for 12 consecutive weeks. Another stand out track ‘Thinking of you’ was not only featured on many Spotify editorial playlists like Fresh Finds and Indie All Stars but was also a heavy rotation favourite on Sirius XM, BBC 6 and Stingray Digital.
His songwriting talents have landed him many accolades such as the Stingray Rising Star Award and his works have appeared on NETFLIX’s ‘Tiny Pretty Things’ and E! Network’s ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians.’ As an artistic collaborator, Laurent’s has recently had great success penning songs for many artists including Japanese artist Harumi (SONY Japan), whose most recent EP debuted at #1 on the iTunes R&B chart.
Laurent is currently working on a new full length album. Stay Tuned :)
