Miroir (album)


Miroir is the fourth studio album by Canadian singer Marie-Mai. The album was produced by Fred St-Gelais. Most of the French titles were recorded in the spring of 2012, with the exception of "Sans Cri Ni Haine", which was released as a promotional single in France in February 2012. Three of the songs, were part of an English-language EP that was recorded in late 2010 but never released. Some French lines were added into "Heart Attack" during 2012 and despite Marie-Mai not being completely pleased with the results, it was included in the final track list as a special request from her mother, who loved the song.

Release

C.O.B.R.A. was released as digital download on 14 August 2012. In an interview, Marie-Mai explained the song's inspiration: "C.O.B.R.A. is a rallying cry, an anthem to those who do not want to merge in the crowd, told Marie-Mai. Fred and I, we wanted to write a song that would find all its meaning on stage, during a show, with a contagious rhythm...Let yourself get bewitched by the Cobra!." The music video was filmed by director Jonathan Desbiens and produced by Patrick Chevrier and Outan Médias."C.O.B.R.A." debuted on the Canadian Hot 100 on 27 August 2012 at number 74.
