Leanne Rimes Lyrics

Broussard returns from the bayou with more soul

A rare estrogen infusion during Marc Broussard's concerts this month should make his soul/pop sound more vibrant than usual. The reason? Members of predominantly female act Chic Gamine will handle background vocals.

"I fell in love with them years ago at a Yellowstone festival," Broussard recalled about the Montreal world-beat quintet, in a phone interview from his Louisiana residence.

"I've always wanted to have really great singers, and these four girls are exceptional. It's going to be different than all (my) previous tours."

The fairer sex also gets an emphasized lyrical role on his winsome new self-titled Atlantic Records album. All the songs were co-written with producer/keyboardist Jamie Kenney (Natalie Grant, Jason Castro).

"If we were talking about a woman, it was generally an amalgamation of our respective others. My wife definitely got the lion's share of inspiration."

Prime examples include the sensual, Motown soul stomper "Only Everything (Appletree)," the strident R&B groove of "Emily," sleek ballads "Let It All Out" and Al Green-styled "Lucky," and the idyllic gospel-tinged closer, "Let Me Do It Over."

Mellotron sounds color the latter tune ---- a departure that Broussard said was "gorgeous" and "came together so beautifully. I feel privileged to have that song on my record." The lyrics revolve around conflict avoidance with a significant other.

"You can tell that something is wrong and have no idea what the hell you did, but you know you probably did something. So you might as well just apologize now instead of figuring it out."

Bluesy standout "Eye on the Prize" ---- influenced by a comment that Broussard's young son once made ---- was originally a smooth R&B song done for 2008's "Keep Coming Back," but it didn't make the cut. While searching for potential material to round out the latest effort's track list, Broussard played the demo on his iPod.

Kenney quickly reworked the arrangement with a "different swampy, groovy approach. I was over the moon about it and said, 'This is exactly what the album needs.'"

Broussard emerged in 2002 with the independent CD "Momentary Setback," signed to

Island Records and put out the impressive "Carencro" (named after his Louisiana hometown) two years later. The buoyant "Where You Are" was a minor hit at Adult Top 40 radio and VH1; "Home" found equal prominence at those outlets and got attention at country radio and CMT after Hurricane Katrina.
