Today, as part of the celebrations surrounding the 10th Anniversary of the “Strings Attached” EP by LG Breton, we’re delighted to bring you, as promised, the Grand Premiere of the “I Should Have Never Let You Go” Official Music Video!

Shot in 2015 to promote the EP’s radio single, it has actually remained in “The Vault” all this time… until now!

Directed and edited by Laurent Aglat, it also features actress Deniz Naji.

Enjoy and thanks in advance for liking and sharing!

“Strings Attached” Turns 10!

Indeed, it was on this day in 2015 that the “Strings Attached” EP was released on all music streaming platforms, as well as on CD!

This second opus in the solo discography of LG Breton (after the “Consider It Done!” album) focuses, on one hand, on string instruments of all kinds (acoustic and electric guitars; banjitar; lap steel; piano; double bass; violin; etc.) and on the other, lyrically addresses the indelible ties that we weave in our interpersonal relations; thus its title, “Strings Attached”.

Having received excellent reviews at home and around the world at the time of its release, the EP was recorded and mixed at G&B Productions’ Studio No Name (Montreal) and at Studio Shack (Saint-Colomban) by long-time partners and collaborators, Stéphane Grimm and LG Breton. Richard Addison (Trillium Sound) is responsible for the stellar mastering and the artwork was created by LG Breton et Laurent Aglat.

Song listing:

  1. For Better, Not For Worse
  2. I Should Have Never Let You Go
  3. If I Could
  4. Afterthoughts
  5. Révérence

In addition to the songwriting, production, vocals and most of the instruments that were provided by Breton himself, “Strings Attached” also features these exceptional musicians:

  • Alexis Martin: Drums (Tracks 1, 3, 4 and 5)
  • Guido Del Fabbro: Violin (Tracks 1 and 4)
  • Alexis Loranger: Violin and Viola (Track 5)
  • Karl Surprenant: Upright Bass (Track 3)
  • Geneviève Dufresne: B-Vox (Tracks 1 and 5)
  • Jozy Fever: B-Vox (Tracks 1, 3 and 5)

And so, in order to appropriately celebrate the 10th anniversary of “Strings Attached”, we will post, in the coming days and until the end of February, a mini-series of promotional short videos inspired from the radio single “I Should Have Never Let You Go” with, as the grand finale, the complete music video (directed by Laurent Aglat), which had, in fact, remained in “the vault” for all this time until now! Don’t miss out and keep on visiting this website as well as our Official Facebook Page.

In the meantime, why not (re-)discover “Strings Attached” via your favourite music platform or, better yet, by getting one of the CD copies that are still available from our website shop, which includes the exclusive bonus track “Te Deje Ir Y No Pensé”, the Spanish version of “I Should Have Never Let You Go”.

  • Going Off The Grid
    The new single from LG Breton

    Part head-bopping power-pop, part folky introspection, and sung in half-sing, half-talk, “Going Off The Grid” sonically reflects the unconventionality of its subject matter. After all, everyone craves solitude every once in a while, but not everyone permanently leaves the city for a shack in the woods.

    You used to thrive in the city
    Better not be a servant of greed and inequity
    You’ve decided, God forbid,
    To be going off the grid
    Feeding on greens and beans you’ve grown yourself
    Each man and woman responsible for themselves
    You’ve decided, God forbid,
    To be going off the grid

    Breton, though, seems to know a few folks who have opted for this sort of life. “The song lyrics address the seemingly growing trend of people ‘quitting’ modern city life,” he explains. “They’re abandoning it in favor of a back-to-the-basics existence by relocating to a remote area, away from any commodities and, often, from other people…”

    As usual, and apart from his signature vocals, Breton played all the instruments on “Going Off The Grid, save for the drum kit, which was handled by up-and-coming drummer Mathis Beauséjour. The song was written, recorded, and produced by Breton at G&B Productions, the Montreal studio he shares with award-winning sound engineer Stéphane Grimm. Mastering duties were, once again, provided by Richard Addison (Trillium Sound).

    LG Breton is a Montreal-based singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. He has participated on more than 45 albums/recordings and has given more than 2,500 performances in more than 20 countries alongside established and developing artists as part of large-scale productions like Cirque du Soleil and as a solo artist. Both his debut solo album, Consider It Done! and his Strings Attached EP were released to critical acclaim in Canada and abroad. And several exciting new releases are planned throughout 2023 and 2024.

    His single “Going Off The Grid” is available now.

  • DESTINY – The new single from LG Breton

    Destiny is LG Breton's first release as a solo artist in 4 years. The song was written and produced by Breton himself at G&B Productions' studio in Montreal, Canada.

    As it's usually the case with Breton's solo project, and in addition to his vocal parts, LG performs all the instruments on this recording, safe for the drums which are, once again, delivered with style by longtime collaborator, Alain Quirion (aka « Don Quirione »).

    The result is an irresistible Pop Funk (almost Disco) track with uplifting lyrics that reflect on how, in our lives, better times almost always follow hardship and how, at times, we'd really like to possess “the key that will unlock the secrets of our destiny”!

    Studio colleague and award-winning sound engineer Stéphane Grimm acted as co-mixer with Breton and Richard Addison (Trillium Sounds) brilliantly handled mastering duties.

    Destiny is out now and available on all music streaming platforms! Furthermore, it is the first in a string of highly exciting new singles from LG Breton to be periodically released all through 2023… and beyond!
