Today, Montreal musician Hélène Barbier released the music video for “Lapin.”
The track is the lead single from her upcoming album Panorama, set to drop on November 14, 2025 via Bonsound.
With its cool, minimal pop-rock sensibility and a distinct 80s vibe, “Lapin” offers a playful yet hypnotic sound that sets the tone for what’s to come on the new record.
About the track by Hélène:
Lapin is an effective lesson in simplicity.
The minimalistic arrangements allow us to savour every drum beat, every cascading guitar riff, every note of Barbier’s assertive bass line, while her nonchalant voice completes the package.
The introspective avant-pop track doesn’t take itself seriously; it’s a wry laugh that defuses the drama, an anti-magic song.
The lyrics tell the story of someone who doubts themselves, who is unable to find the right words, and who waits without really knowing why.
Hélène Barbier exposes the strategy we often use when indecision paralyzes us; waiting for a providential sign that will never come, to tell us what to say or do. It’s a feeling she knows well, but one she approaches here with a light heart, preferring to highlight the absurdity of her shortcomings with humour rather than be frustrated by them.
