This is a life-saving album for the singer-songwriter. For the very first time, Klô Pelgag handled the arrangements of several songs ("Rémora," "La maison jaune," "Où vas-tu quand tu dors"), while renowned musician Owen Pallett arranged a few others ("À l'ombre des cyprès," "J'aurai les cheveux longs," "Soleil"). Since the announcement of the release of the album, four singles have been shared with the public: "Rémora," "J'aurai les cheveux longs" ("an intimate, touching song" - Le Canal Auditif), "Umami," and "La maison jaune" ("a unique song" - La Presse). A few curious fans had the chance to listen to the whole album before its release during a listening experience organized by Le Festif! in Baie-Saint-Paul, in front of the St. Lawrence River.
