about

“Cheers To New Beginnings” is the first glimpse into Dominique Fils-Aime’s latest album “Our Roots Run Deep”. The Montreal based singer-songwriter opens the track with her signature vocal approach—one that veers from the traditional role of a vocalist. A wordless melodic lick provides a foundation for layers and tasteful patterns.

Dominique has an ear for creating an atmosphere. Her vocals reach into new moods. She styles the beat the way she desires, shifting seamlessly into alternate looks, leading the listener onwards and upwards through unfolding changes.

The emotional content of the song is layered. There is an energetic groove that is charged with the optimistic emotions one feels when entertaining the prospects of new beginnings. To contrast these emotions, Dominique opens the song with a melancholic touch, acknowledging that with every new beginning there is a past that is left behind. The song welcomes change while also acknowledging the transition from old to new, which is not always easy. Her lyrics reflect these mixed emotions. “Things are not the same anymore. Is it better or worse than before?”

Dominique Fils-Aime’s album “Our Roots Run Deep” is scheduled for release September 2023 via Ensoul Records.

lyrics

Oh way oh way oh way oh way
Way oh way oh way oh way
Oh Way oh way oh way oh way
Way oh way oh way oh way oh

Things are not the same
Not the same
Anymore

Is it better or worst
Then before

Things are not the same
Not the same
Anymore

Was it all meant to fall down
Was it bound to break down

Singin’
Ouh
Ah ah ah ah ah

Ouh
Ah ah

Ouh
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah

Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah
Ah ah ah ah ah

New beginnings
Let’s cheers to new beginnings
(Things are not the same
not the same anymore)

New beginnings
(Things are not the same
not the same anymore)

Let’s cheers to new beginnings
(Things are not the same
not the same anymore)

New beginnings
(Things are not the same
not the same anymore)

Let’s cheers to new beginnings

Pa da da pa da da pa de da

New beginnings
Let’s cheers to new beginnings
New beginnings
Let's cheers to new beginnings
Yeah

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh
Oh oh oh
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Ah
