Sparkling Harmonies episodes

  • How invested do we get in an artist?
    In this episode, we get into what we usually do when we get into a new artist and how sometimes it varies depending on multiple factors. We also discuss the fine line between being a fan and being an infatuated and unhealthy fan.
    After this episode, we will be taking a short break! You can listen to us again in October!

  • Audio processing (autotune) & its impact on music ft Liz Labelle
    In this episode, we've got singer/songwriter/producer Liz Labelle with us to talk about autotune, how it has changed the way we listen to music and we debate its use in the industry (or overuse). Being a producer and singer herself, she walks us through the more technical aspects of the tool and gives us examples of how our ears have grown accustomed to finely tuned music.

  • Guilty pleasures (& why they shouldn't exist) ft Eric Hébert
    In this episode, we've got Eric Hebert with us to break down guilty pleasures, why they exist and mostly, why we think it's a concept that shouldn't exist. We get into how everyone should just like what they like without a care in the world but we try to understand how this concept came to be.

  • What makes a summer song?
    In this episode, we discuss summer songs! What makes a summer song? Is it just the time of year it gets released? Does it need to have a certain vibe or certain message? Lili listens to whatever, whenever but François really has his summer favorites.

  • Which is more important: melody or lyrics?
    In this episode, we discuss what draws us to songs: melody or lyrics? To get more insight, we go through poll results Lili did on Instagram with that question and a follow-up question, which was: do you listen to music in a language you don't speak? We also asked ourselves what the definition of a "song" actually is.
    What about you? What is more important to you when you listen to music?

  • Our favourite album covers
    In this episode, we get into what we find eye-catching in an album's cover art and we show our top 3 favourite covers of the moment. Do you think album art is important? Does it have an impact on your initial attraction to an album?

  • Is the album format dead?
    In this episode, we ask ourselves if the album format is dead and has the singles format taken over completely? Is releasing a full album still worth it in the digital age of short attention spans and music streaming?

  • From live shows to live streams ft. Julien Belhumeur
    In this week's episode, we have Julien Belhumeur with us to talk about how the pandemic completely changed how he works. Before COVID-19, Julien was a musician who would play live shows, events and festivals. For the past year however, that has not really been possible so he completely turned his attention to streaming regularly on Twitch. Listen to hear what he had to say about how it's been for him, how it was getting set up for streaming and how it differs from live concerts.
