Despite this being Corneille‘s very first DJBooth.net feature, he is already an established veteran in his hometown of Montreal – the only reason he hasn’t caught on in the States yet is that his two primary albums were both done entièrement dans le Français (“entirely in French” for those not fluent in the Gallic).  Now, Corneille is ready to release his first album in English, appropriately titled The Birth of Cornelius (the Anglicized form of his stage name) in the United States on March 10th.  If the newest single is any indication, he’s managed to cross the language gap with no trouble; his smooth jazz vocals and production prove not to be a challenge, but rather a musical Liberation.  Look for this record to snag a coveted spot on the Booth’s R&B Charts, and to bring the singer success with both French and English-speaking audiences.

I really like his vocals, they're very smooth. For some reason they seem kinda (John) Legend-esque to me. I like the soulful feel to it, and the upbeat production is nice. I especially like the brass during the hook. Props for the vocals and the production work!

Corneille featured in Djbooth?! :D This site doesn’t stop gettin better...
I was gon make all the comparisons DJ Z and Juanito aptly made, meaning this guy is that kind of singer who is better than your favorite even though you never heard of him before. His vocals are perfect! This is not his best tune though.
J’espère que sa prochaine feature sois un classique!

i heard this a few days ago. loved it. i disagree with the JL comparisons though, because i've listened to this guys music, and like alot of it.
JL doesnt impress me. the only song i liked from him was Ordinary People.

I guarantee you this guy is hiding his true old fashioned al green type of voice, just because of the basic industry singer.

Puts me in the mind of Estelle American Boy. Corneille's voice is beautiful. This sounds like an old school Mowtown ht from the 60's or 70's. I like that oldies vibe it brings. The production is good, but it could have been a little crisper, cleaner. Now this song has a vibe, that I probably won't groove to too often, but it definately makes me wanna hear what else this kat has to come. I'll be looking out for him.

I'm from Rwanda and Corneille is our pride.With LIBERATION,Corneille can be sure of captivating the american audience,aspecillaly those who are not fan of CRUNK,who want to lay down and listen to what used to be called music.He reminds me of my man Wilson Pickett.
