PREMIERE: “Réputation” by Radiant Baby, live at Studio Planet

by Lorraine Carpenter

Warm country cabin vibes and a fresh band of magical musicians are showcased in the Montreal artist’s new music video.

Today Montreal electro-pop artist Radiant Baby is dropping a new music video for “Réputation,” recorded live at Studio Planet. With the video, singer-songwriter Félix Mongeon is debuting not only a new Radiant Baby song, but an entirely new band, namely Jean-Nicolas Doss, Marie-Hélène Coutu, Shaun Pouliot and Steeven Chouinard.

“The video was shot on a very hot summer day in July. We had just started rehearsing as a band a couple weeks earlier, and we were really excited to play together for this live session.

“I always wanted to record in a studio in the country, so we created our own cabin vibes with a warm glow, and vintage and patchwork styling.

“This video project was like an opportunity for us to break the ice as a new band. I’m really happy with the end result and I can’t wait to play shows with these magical musicians!”

—Félix Mongeon

Today’s video comes a week ahead of the release of the new Radiant Baby album Pantomime via Lisbon Lux Records on Sept. 24. A launch show is happening at la Sala Rossa on Oct. 7 “in a black and white universe that will reinterpret the concept of Pierrot from the 1900s.”

Watch the video for “Réputation” below.
