Brigitte Boisjoli Essentials

This chanteuse from Drummondville, Quebec, first entered the spotlight as a contestant on Star Académie, the province's homegrown idol-making reality-TV competition. But Boisjoli's background in cabaret and musical theatre proved even more beneficial to her chameleonic career, as the singer has wrapped her pliable pipes around smoldering after-hours soul and jubilant, folky indie pop. On 2015's Patsy Cline, she fully inhabited the role of the titular country icon, turning in a set of spot-on covers that nonetheless brimmed with Boisjoli's singular bonhomie.
