Charlotte Cardin - Meaningless
Charlotte Cardin is a Canadian pop, electro, and jazz singer from Montreal. In 2013, she was a finalist in the first season of singing competition La Voix - which is the french version of the popular TV show The Voice. In 2018, she received two Juno Award nominations for Breakthrough Artist of the Year & Songwriter of the Year. She currently leads the 2022 Juno Award nominations with a total of six - including best single, best artist, fan choice, and best album of the year. Cardin’s debut album entitled Phoenix' came out in 2021, and you can listen to it on various streaming sites.
Cardin’s music video for her song Meaningless premiered in February 2021. The video starts off with close-ups of Cardin’s side-profile as she sings with a beautiful sunrise in the background. As the video goes on we see that the sunrise and light play a large role. It feels like Cardin is being transported through these various scenes in the video by the lights. from flashing white lights to colourful light circles.
These different scenes also have great dancing segments where we see the tone of the song, the lyrics, and the beat all tie together; with the lights flashing on beat while showing us the emotions that Cardin is feeling. Throughout the video, it is clear that Cardin is singing and dancing with her whole body, the song really making its mark in every aspect of the video. Overall, it’s a really well-produced video and very enjoyable to watch.
You can catch Charlotte Cardin on tour right now. Tour dates are available on her website.
