Canadian composer, singer, and songwriter Friendly Rich has released a cover version of “Le P’tit Bonheur” honouring his favourite songwriter Felix Leclerc. While giving his fans a taste of what is to come on his upcoming LP “Man Out Of Time” that is set to release on the 31st of March.
Rich is a highly accomplished musician, with a vast musical discography, a PHD in music education from the University of Toronto and owns a record label named “The Pumpkin Pie Corporation”. He composed music for MTV’s “The Tom Green Show” and the short film “The Miserable End of Captain Alonso” directed by Dev Singh. Additionally, three of his songs were featured in Thom Fitzgerald’s movie “3 Needles”.
In this version of “Le P’tit Bonheur” Rich is joined by Mike T Kerr on guitar and Drew Jurecka on strings. Together they take the acoustic French pop song to new heights by adding depth to the song’s atmosphere through the use of strings and accordion. Rich’s deep and flawless voice along with the screeches from the guitar and strings gives the song a darker and haunting vibe.
Rich has been called a “mad composer” and his music is a testament to his genius. “Le P’tit Bonheur” is a masterpiece that transports listeners to a spooky night on a French street.
