That's right, folks: this is a new Dany Laj and The Looks review! I'm always pumped to hear from this band, who are longtime favorites of mine and longtime favorites of just about everyone they meet! "Ça Va" is the band's new single and first release in over a year. It's the group's first-ever track to be sung exclusively in French. Fun fact: I took five years of French in school mostly because I became enamored with French Canadian culture due to being a hockey fanatic. I have forgotten almost everything I learned, but I do remember the expression "Ça va"! Laj describes this as "a song about staying the course, even when everything seems to be going wrong." Holy smokes: that's a sentiment the world needs now more than ever! What good is life if you can't hold on to the hope that things will eventually get better? For this track, Dany and Jeanette are joined by drummer Andrew Moszynski. It's everything you'd expect from Dany Laj Et Les Looks: garage rock meets power pop radiating pure joyful energy. At just two-and-a-half minutes, the song will leave you wanting more. It will also leave you smiling and truly believing yourself when you utter the words "Ça va." The video definitely captures the spirit of the song. And as always, Dany and Jeanette's hat game is unrivaled. This single is the first release from an upcoming French-language project, so keep your eyes peeled for more information. My Canadian friends can catch Dany Laj Et Les Looks on tour this fall.
