Two Hopeful Songs sees Arielle embrace a new aesthetic. Optimism and hope sit at the heart of "Future is Bright” and “Beautiful Sights" which mix the warmth of the acoustic guitar with the electrifying sound of a drum machine and soaring layers of synths. Listeners also discover what makes Arielle's music so magical: breathtaking vocal harmonies and deliciously introspective lyrics. The tracks were co-produced by Raphaël Léveillé (Embophlébite, Douance, paaugeoire).

Arielle led a busy spring tour taking her from Saint-Casimir to Austin, Texas. She is making her Toronto debut this September at Mirrorball at the Music Hall , as well as touring Quebec in October as part of the Route d’artistes microtour . More details to follow.

The luminous softness that emanates from Arielle’s music swings between warm soul and pastoral folk. Her magnificent vocal arrangements can be heard on her debut Il n'y rien que je ne suis pas, released in October 2023 , made Best Of Lists in Exclaim, Le Devoir, Dominionated and CISM as well as earning a coveted place on ’24 Polaris Music Prize Long List.
