Album Notes & Community Reviews

Dufresne's debut pairs Luc Plamondon's lyrics with François Cousineau's music and production, recorded at Studios André Perry in Montréal. Its flagship song 'J'ai rencontré l'homme de ma vie' features Cousineau himself on the male vocal, and 'Buzz' was the first Québec song to speak openly about cannabis.
