When it comes to smooth-toned song stylists, Laurence Jalbert is one of Quebec's crown jewels. With a sweet, silken quality to her singing, she crafts consistently classy pop tunes that are warm enough to turn an Antarctic glacier into a huge puddle. She released her self-titled debut album in 1990 and with her fresh take on adult-contemporary pop, she quickly took Canada's heart. She's kept hold ever since, whether her supple voice is gliding gently atop a tender ballad or rising to bold heights in a larger-than-life, drama-drenched production.
