Roses, a collection of songs dating as far back as 2012, was written mostly in Montreal and recorded in studios in Stockholm, London, Bristol and Montreal. The album was recorded in Stockholm with producer Bjorn Yttling (Peter Bjorn and John, Robyn, Lykke Li), in Bristol, UK, with Rob Ellis (PJ Harvey, Bat For Lashes, Cold Specks), and with Ash Workman (Metronomy, Christine and the Queens) at London’s Church Studio, where Adele’s Skyfall fame took its roots. Roses is the object of a very meticulous marketing plan. The advertising plan prepared by the label features both the album and the tour dates in all the different markets to maximise the visibility of the promotion initiatives. A national ad campaign will take place in advance of the release to promote the artist and draw attention towards her tour dates as well as her upcoming album. We plan to market the upcoming album through a combination of radio advertising, television spots, online and print ads. Our strategy includes live radio sessions, TV performances, combined with our strong radio promotion and aggressive postering campaign across Canada. Cœur de Pirate is the solo project of award‐winning singer‐songwriter and pianist Béatrice Martin. She released her self‐titled debut album in September 2008, to immediate national and international acclaim, before returning in November 2011 with her sophomore album, Blonde. In 2014, Martin provided the soundtrack to Radio‐Canada’s hit TV series, Trauma, as well as the original score to Ubisoft’s video game, Child of Light. Cœur de Pirate has now sold more than one million albums worldwide and counting.
