SATURDAY THE 14TH OUT APRIL 05 2019
As Partner puts it, “‘Les ailes d’un ange’ (or ‘Angel’s Wings’ in English) is a song based on a poem by Cedric Sims. It is a collaboration in the style of Elton John and Bernie Taupin. It was also inspired by the grand themes and powerful performances found in Céline Dion songs, so we made a French version too.
“This song is about going down to “hell” to face your greatest fears. The song explores how, by having the courage to face your fears head on, you find you possess a strength you never knew. In order to craft this song, we had to face our greatest fears as artists. So form imitates content. Facing our fears is never easy, but there is life on the other side of fear. It’s so important to remind ourselves of this. We hope our listeners can be reminded of this fundamental truth and enjoy the ride!”
Paste Magazine says “it’s a power ballad complete with triumphant strings, an electric guitar solo and some serious glam. But don’t mistake the bells and whistles for overzealousness—Partner never take themselves too seriously.” Listen to “Les ailes d’un ange” HERE
Earlier, Partner shared the video for “Long and McQuade,” an ode to the Canadian music store chain (Watch the video HERE), and the country-bumpkin “Tell You Off” (which you can listen to HERE).
