Éléphant
Shawn Jobin
May 2017
An outspoken francophone MC, Jobin’s Éléphant is a concept album that focuses on working through and living with mental health issues. He was recently honoured at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights for his inspiring journey and work in the francophone community. Jobin enlisted fellow Fransaskois artist Mario LePage (Ponteix) to produce the beats. Lepage weaves between laid back, dark, contemplative beats and disjointed heavy sounds, joining on background vocals and hooks for a number of tracks. Jobin’s lyrics tell a story that focuses on themes of identity and struggle. Recorded at: Sonny Black Productions, Montreal QC. Produced by: Shawn Jobin and Mario LePage.
