Christian Sean

After offering a first glimpse of his artistry on his cathartic debut single Cold Water in September, Montreal-based singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Christian Sean announces the release of Hallelujah Showers, his first album due out on January 31st, 2025. 

Hallelulah Showers blends brash electronic ventures with ethereal vocal layering, resulting in a progressive pop sound that strikes the perfect balance between irresistible melodies and ambitious experimentalism. From bass-heavy sample collages to hyperkinetic freak-outs, solemn spirituals and hypnotic hooks, its seven self-produced tracks are as eclectic as they are cohesive, immersive and melodic. 

Inspired by left-field innovators such as Björk, Jai Paul and Yves Tumor, as well as by mainstream pop masterminds like Max Martin, Brian Wilson and Missy Elliott, Christian’s songcraft is the ideal vehicle for his symbolic, instinct-driven lyricism, further blurring the lines between the accessible and the abstract. On Hallelujah Showers, he explores the oscillation between judgment and forgiveness, using water as a recurring symbol for the invisible forces that bind humans interpersonally and the intangible, often unconscious content that gets passed between two individuals : emotion, intention, sexuality.

Christian Sean wrote, recorded and produced the album by himself over a period of two years, mostly in remote lakeside country houses around Quebec. The surrounding ecosystems had a deep impact on its sonic direction, which can be heard on its first single; according to American magazine The Fader, “Cold Water is brimming with rich textures mimicking everything from the gentle burble of a spring stream to being swept out to sea by an unexpected current. “
