Whether exploring themes of love, introspection, or societal observations, Geoffroy’s lyrics resonate with authenticity, drawing listeners into his world.
About the album by Geoffroy:
Almost 10 years removed from his first release, this project was sparked with the intention of creating Geoffroy’s most authentic work to date, blending organic instrumentation and electronic elements into a bright and rich album filled with diverse sounds, a collection of songs that moves beyond the brooding depth that has defined recent works.
Each past album that Geoffroy has released reflected a different tone and period in the artist’s life and his evolution and experimentation with different sonic palettes. In this case, Good Boy sees Geoffroy look back and collaborate with longtime production partners Clément Leduc and Gabriel Gagnon, but also incorporate a diverse collection of new background musicians and singers that brings the album to life in vibrant colour.
That diversity was driven by a gradual shift in Geoffroy’s influences, having spent recent years immersing himself in the worlds of cumbiamusic and a range of other latin and african rhythmic styles, that melded with his traditional singer-songwriter form to create something that feels truly international.
In fact the record’s narrative was inspired by a trip to Mexico where he befriended – and ultimately adopted – a shelter dog named Papi, bringing him from the streets of Mexico City to Montreal.
Papi serves as the mascot for the LP, but more importantly acts as an overarching metaphor for being lost, but ultimately found.
Asked to reflect on the change in perspective that accompanied the transition from his previous musical era into this one, Geoffroy spoke to the clarity he experienced in terms of his own agenda in the creation of music.
