A finalist in Star Académie's 2003 debut season, Québécois singer/songwriter/pianist Annie Villeneuve moderates powerful vocals with refreshing restraint. Her simple, honest voice soars through pop-rock anthems and love ballads that boast strong melodies and catchy choruses. Also known for solid cover versions of songs by Céline Dion and various Canadian composers, she rests gracefully within the adult-contemporary world's limits.
