Announced on October 11, 2024, Abracadabra is the soliloquy of a simple formula that could soften the world. With this new album, Klô Pelgag plays and questions herself between certainties and anxieties, in a powerful manifesto in search of meaning. An album that reaffirms her phenomenal abilities as a composer, arranger, producer, and instrumentalist, making her one of the exceptional creative forces of her generation. Each of her new works reiterates the unique place she occupies in the Francophone cultural landscape. Abracadabra is no exception. From the very first notes, we notice that the contrasts that have always been part of her work have been refined. That the powerful and evocative poetic images have become more precise. Between fragility and complexity, the melodic flights fragment only to reappear transfigured. The pieces showcase the full elegance of the performer's voice and demonstrate a genuine exploratory approach through the diverse ways in which she uses it. The magic lies in the ability to surprise and in this apparent refusal of creative stagnation.

Klô Pelgag is a well-established artist in Quebec and across Canada, with 20 Félix Awards at the ADISQ Gala, a Juno Award, a shortlist and a longlist nomination for the Polaris Music Prize, sold-out shows at MTelus, and collaborations and stage appearances with CRi, Patrick Watson, and Pomme. Her previous album, Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs (2020), received critical acclaim. In Canada, Exclaim! gave it 8/10, and in Quebec, the reviews were unanimous: ★★★★★ from the Journal de Montréal , "the LP of 2020, we've got it," 9/10 from Le Canal Auditif, "a relevant and audacious work," and ★★★★ for "a rich album" in La Presse . Her influence with this album extends far beyond the province and the country, garnering rave reviews in France, notably in Télérama with its prestigious ffff rating . The influential American journalist Anthony Fantano, on his YouTube channel The Needle Drop, mentions "tons of magnificent creative highlights in every corner of the project," a first for a French-language album. In recent years, Klô Pelgag has performed to sold-out crowds in Paris and London, as well as in Japan, Belgium, and Switzerland.
