Les Louanges is back with Bonne chance, his first single since he released the Polaris short-listed Alouette! earlier this year on Bonsound. Through this new song, the genre-defying Montreal-based artist expresses his outrage at the ruling class’s inaction and its trivialization of social issues, as we are collectively about to hit a wall.
After landing nine ADISQ nominations, Les Louanges won five awards at the various ceremonies held last week in Montreal. He took home the Felix Awards for Male Artist of the Year, Alternative Album of the Year, Music Video of the Year (for Je confirme ma présence, directed by Charles-Antoine Olivier), Album Artwork of the Year, and Album Production of the Year with his longtime collaborator Félix Petit.
\n Listen to Bonne chance\n
Bonne chance came about through the combination of various recordings that intertwine and overlap to create a cohesive musical entity, punctuated by unapologetic ’80s-style drums and raw synth sounds, like a mix between Jai Paul and Peter Gabriel. It’s a song that screams while still taking the time to breathe, reflecting Vincent Roberge’s (aka Les Louanges) urgent yet graceful lyrics.
Ultimately, Bonne chance is a reminder that, between cynicism and optimism, it’s better to choose the latter if we want things to keep moving forward.
Currently on tour across Quebec, Les Louanges will present three sold-out shows at L'Olympia de Montréal on December 3, 4 and 5, 2026. Tickets are also sold out for several other dates, including on November 28, 2026, and March 12 and 13, 2027, at the Impérial Bell in Quebec City. The musician will make its way to Europe in the winter to play in Paris, Brussels are many more. Check out the list below for more information on his upcoming tour.
About Alouette!
With Alouette!, Les Louanges attempts to make sense of his human condition and Québécois identity by bringing guitars and Joual (the French language dialect spoken in Québec) to the forefront while still fuelling his signature grooves. More rock-oriented than his previous albums, this third effort is luminous yet rich in sounds, emotion and political commentary. It unfolds through a journey that will lead him to encounter universal experiences such as illness, death, and true love.
The album is also the result of an artistic quest that began during a period of self-reflection, when Vincent Roberge seized the opportunity to take a break after his last extended tour. Alongside the existential questions typical of someone approaching their thirties came a rediscovery of the classics—from Leonard Cohen and Prince, to Richard Desjardins and the nursery rhyme that gives the album its name–, then a full exploration. In addition to playing most of the instruments himself, the singer-songwriter revived obscure Quebec records through sampling and got to experiment with actual sound recording. Roberge co-produced Alouette! with his long-time collaborator Félix Petit (because why change a winning formula).
Four years after the success of his sophomore album Crash, Les Louanges returns more confident than ever, thanks to a renewed cultural and emotional baggage that allows him to reflect on the past to better engage with the present, while also enjoying it to the fullest. All of this, without overlooking the future, which he foresees with hope despite the collective challenges that await us.
About Les Louanges
Les Louanges is the project of Vincent Roberge, a Montreal-based singer-songwriter and producer full of raw talent and musical audacity. Influenced by the likes of D'Angelo, Gorillaz and Leonard Cohen, Roberge has honed his distinctive style, a fusion of contemporary funk and soul music with a strong pop sensibility, that establishes him as one of the key figures in Quebec's lively music scene.
After releasing two albums (La nuit est une panthère in 2018 and Crash in 2022), an EP, a handful of singles, and touring extensively in Quebec and Europe, Les Louanges took some time off to contemplate his next move. He returned in the spring of 2026 with Alouette!, a lively and meaningful album that is steadily making its mark on the Québécois music landscape.
