Echoing the last three years of the life of Vincent Roberge (aka Les Louanges), a pivotal period marked by the acclaim of his first album La nuit est une panthère (2018), his new album Crash is a recollection of harsh but necessary observations about love, friendships, success, and all the loss of emotional control that follows. It's both the dream that turns into a nightmare and the yielding once the horizon clears. Roberge appeared on @ashestoashescjlo to talk about his sophomore record, avoiding ego in his lyrics, and feeling more comfortable in front of thousands of concertgoers than at a house party.
