Fall has a way of sharpening every feeling. The light changes, the air cools, and that early-stage crush suddenly feels bigger than it did under summer sun. Myriam Dufour steps into exactly that space with her new single “Ensorcelée de toi.” The Montreal-based Quebec artist (originally from Chicoutimi) delivers a track that sits comfortably between disco, French pop and pop-rock, powered by vibrant rock-funk grooves and a mysterious atmosphere that keeps you slightly off-balance in the best way.
The song digs into the tug-of-war between head and heart when a romance is still new. One question hangs in the air as the season shifts from warm summer into crisp fall colors: will this passionate spark carry through, or is the flame bound to fade? It captures the thrill and the uncertainty of falling under someone’s spell without tipping into pure melancholy or pure dancefloor abandon. The groove stays forward and physical while the mood stays a little shadowy and intimate.
Dufour has been building toward this kind of release with care. Her first commercial single, “Quand t’oublieras mon nom,” arrived in September 2024 and addressed Alzheimer’s, a subject close to her because of her mother. She trained at Collège d’Alma and UQAM (graduating in 2018) and only moved more fully into releasing music after personal challenges slowed the process. On Spotify she describes her work as organic music colored by pop, rock and disco influences, with vocal harmonies taking the lead; she turns shadowy places into luminous spaces and invites listeners simply to feel. Her social-channel bio puts the same idea more poetically: in a world that runs, she lingers. She is an artist of deep introspection who sings the emotions that escape words. Her music is an intimate pop where melancholy dances with light—a refuge for sensitive hearts.
That description lines up with the production of “Ensorcelée de toi.” Lyrics come from Dufour; the music is credited to her alongside Kaven Picard and Etienne Barry. Realization is by Barry and Picard. The band includes Dufour on vocals, Picard on bass, Barry on keys and percussion, additional keys from Félix Le Blanc, electric guitars from Alexandre Caron and Antoine Loiselle, and drums from Benjamin Courcy. Digital distribution is handled by Amplitude Distribution, with production and publishing under Bombus Management. She already has an album launch scheduled for 22 April 2027 at Le Ministère in Montreal, so this single sits as another step in a longer independent arc.
French-language pop that borrows disco and rock-funk edges has been finding quiet momentum on playlists and stages that value both groove and personal writing. Dufour’s approach fits that lane: organic instrumentation, prominent vocals, and songs that feel personal without sliding into pure ballad territory. The result is the kind of track you can put on while the light fades outside and still feel the pull of the dancefloor somewhere in the arrangement.
