Coeur de Pirate:

Some new music from Coeur de Pirate, just a matter of months since her last album.

The Canadian singer, known to her friends as Béatrice Martin, released a collection of covers on the album Trauma, a sountrack for the firth season of the Canadian TV series.

She's now composed the music for  a new video game, entitled Child of Light, to be released at the end of the month by digital entertainment giant Ubisoft.

Child of Light is a role playing video game based on fairy tales, and Coeur de Pirate's music is based principally on piano with orchestra backing.

It's a very different release to her earlier release this year.

Trauma included covers of songs by Bill Withers (Ain't no sushine), Lee Hazlewood (Summer wine), Amy Winehouse (You know I'm no good) and the Rolling Stones (Dead Flowers) Previous serieses of the show featured covers by acts from Quebec including Martha Wainwright, Ariane Moffatt and the Pascale Picard Band.

Coeur de Pirate's 2011 album Blonde reached the top five in France and featured the track Place de la République.

Looks like 2014 will be a busy year for her.
