In our “Top Secrets” videos, music creators who’ve reached the top of a major music chart, and were celebrated by a SOCAN No. 1 Song Award, discuss the secrets behind the hit songs..
SOCAN member Charlotte Cardin knows how stoke the flames of desire. Since reaching the finals of the popular show La Voix (the Québec franchise of The Voice) in 2013, she’s been releasing precious musical nuggets in dribs and drabs. From singles to EPs, the singer-songwriter – who’ll launch a debut full-length album Phoenix on April 23, 2021 – has finally reached the highest position of the ADISQ’s Correspondants Anglophone chart for the first time, on Dec. 1, 2020, with her hit song “Passive Aggressive.” The song stayed at the top of this chart for 12(!) weeks. This is the first of what we hope will be a long list for her.
In this “Top Secrets” video, she reveals how she co-created this breakup song with Jason Brando, Connor Seidel ,and Marc-André Gilbert, published by Éditions Big Boy and Red Brick Music Publishing. “Passive Aggressive” found its way to success thanks to, among other things, a powerful video that created a buzz on YouTube, accumulating more than 1.8 million views.
