Charlotte Cardin:

Midnight, mon amour Tour

Charlotte Cardin has never been defined by just one lane, a theme she’s taking to the next level with her upcoming third album, Midnight, mon amour, due out January 29, 2027. Since cementing herself as one of Canada’s most exciting and formidable artists, the Montreal-born singer has built a career out of moving fluidly between pop, R&B, jazz, and anything else that catches her ear, splitting her time between Canada and Paris as she continues to expand the boundaries of her sound.

Her 2021 debut album, Phoenix, established her as an immediate sensation, earning her Album of the Year, Pop Album of the Year, Artist of the Year and Single of the Year at the Juno Awards. Her success continued with her sophomore release, 99 Nights, which earned Album of the Year and Pop Album of the Year once again.

Now, Cardin is returning with her most ambitious album yet. With Midnight, mon amour, Cardin digs into duality, exploring the tension between societal expectations and the parts of ourselves we keep hidden, the contrast between day and night, and the ever-present contradictions of existing as a woman. “I really wanted to explore all of the inner duality that I’ve been feeling as a woman in the last few years, and I wanted to use those oppositions and those contradictory feelings as something that’s empowering and liberating,” she explains. “It’s about giving myself permission to explore dualities, and hopefully helping others feel they can, too.”

Cardin and her longtime collaborator Jason Brando approached the album with that tension in mind. The result is what Cardin describes as a “shadow album:” a space for the shameful fantasies, private desires and less-polished parts of ourselves that we don't necessarily reveal to the outside world. “That musical playground of duality, and knowing that we are allowed to explore those two things, really opened up a whole new level of creativity for me,” she says.
