Yvan Pedneault: Influences

Yvan Pedneault's passionate francophone tunes and crystal-clear vocals pull inspiration from a stable of classic voices. There's a longing in his pipes that recalls Al Green's profound pining on the timeless soul of “Tired of Being Alone”, and Freddie Mercury's rousing drama on “Too Much Love Will Kill You” makes a connection with Pedneault's fiery belting. In his softer moments, he's a dead ringer for Michael Bublé's easy croon on “Everything”.
