04:50Thank you
04:53Corrine Casa on CRMCTV Talent
04:56Thank you so much for coming
04:58Hi!
04:59And your band is incredible
05:00I know, they're so good
05:02Thank you
05:02Would you like to introduce them?
05:03Of course, so this is Chad, the drummer
05:06Not your first rodeo
05:10How are you doing?
05:11How are you doing?
05:12All good?
05:13This is Michael, the bassist
05:16Hello, Michael
05:17This is Severin on the electric guitar
05:21Dawson on the acoustic guitar
05:24And Gab on the keyboards
05:27Awesome
05:27All so talented
05:28And Corrine, your voice is so beautiful
05:32Thank you
05:32And you've been singing since you were a little kid
05:34Yes
05:34Is it true that you started singing first
05:38And then you started talking
05:40So singing came first
05:41Yes, yes, that's what I like to say
05:44So if anybody says that it's different
05:46Then it's not true
05:47I know the real story
05:49I don't know, I found a video when I was young
05:51Of me on a staircase
05:53Just singing gibberish
05:55At like three years old
05:56Or like two or one
05:57I don't know what
05:58But anyways
05:59So that's why I like to say
06:00That I started singing
06:01Before I started talking
06:03Because I like to sing gibberish
06:05Music before words
06:05Yes
06:06I like that
06:07And you come from a multicultural family
06:09Yes
06:10You were born and raised in Montreal
06:11Yes
06:12So how many languages
06:13Would your family speak at home?
06:15So at home
06:16We would speak French
06:17Okay, French of course
06:18My mother's tongue is French
06:19We had English
06:20So my parents would speak English
06:22So I wouldn't understand
06:23Which just made me want to learn English even more
06:26Yep
06:26Then we had Italian
06:28We had beautiful Italian songs
06:30In the house every day
06:31Spanish
06:32And Greek sometimes
06:35A little bit of everything
06:36Greek sometimes
06:38And how many languages
06:39Can you speak?
06:40So I speak French
06:41Yes
06:41English
06:43Spanish
06:45Me falta la práctica
06:47I'm missing only the practice
06:49And I can understand some Italian
06:53But I can't answer
06:54El acento es perfecto
06:56Ah, gracias
06:56Gracias
06:57Tengo que practicar
06:58Me falta la práctica
06:59If you visit Montreal
07:01You actually might bump into Corrine
07:04Because you do a lot of busking
07:06Yes
07:07In the streets of Montreal
07:07I do
07:08I do
07:09Right under the Basilique Notre Dame
07:10Which is one of the biggest touristic places
07:14And I started that last year
07:16And I really had beautiful magical moments
07:18From that
07:19So yeah
07:20It's a very special thing for me
07:24I've met people from all over the world
07:26Some people from Toronto actually
07:27So if you're watching
07:29Hi guys
07:30Corrine is here with us
07:32Yes
07:32I changed cities
07:33And now I'm on TV
07:36And your parents are very supportive
07:38Yes
07:39They're always with you
07:40They're here today
07:41Yes, hi
07:42Hello, Daddy and Mom
07:42My brother is here too
07:43Shout out to my brother
07:45And your brother too
07:46Yeah
07:48How do you feel having this family support?
07:50Many musicians
07:51When they tell their parents
07:53I want to be a musician
07:54I want to be a singer
07:54It's usually like
07:56Are you nuts?
07:58So how is it
07:59Like being in a very supportive family?
08:01It means everything to me
08:02My parents and my brother
08:03They're my best friends
08:04Aww
08:04I mean every time
08:05I always say
08:06If you know me
08:07Then you know them
08:08Because they're at
08:08Every single one of my concerts
08:10Even my parents
08:11Come with me busking
08:13They're here
08:14Just people
08:15Once people
08:17Once someone
08:19Mistook my dad for a cop
08:21Because he was
08:22Making sure everything
08:23Everything was secure
08:24And nobody was bothering me
08:25So I'm so lucky
08:26They're my best friends
08:27Aww
08:28That's so beautiful
08:29And tell me about this
08:31You know
08:32Love story with dogs
08:34Yes
08:35I love dogs
08:36Dogs have my heart
08:37Honestly
08:38If I wasn't a singer
08:39I'd be either a vet
08:41Or I'd like start a refuge for dogs
08:44And once when I was
08:46In traveling
08:48I was on a super high balcony
08:50And you know
08:51There was a man
08:52Walking his dog
08:53And all of a sudden
08:54The dog stopped walking
08:56But the man couldn't hear
08:57What was happening
08:57But the dog could hear me
08:59Singing on the balcony
09:00So the dog started to be
09:01He was my number one fan
09:03My first fan
09:03So I always say
09:04If it doesn't work with humans
09:06Then I have
09:06I always have dogs
09:08I'll sing for them
09:08And their hearing is better than yours
09:09Than ours
09:10Yeah I know
09:10That means
09:11I must be pretty good
09:13We need to go for
09:15A very very quick
09:16Commercial break
09:18But we will be right back
09:21With more
09:21Corrine Kassa
09:23On CMC TV Challenge
09:33And while we're
09:41And welcome back
09:42To CMC TV Talent
09:43We have Corrine Kassa
09:45Today with us
09:46And I've been calling you Corrine
09:47But people in Montreal
09:48Will call you like
09:49Corrine
09:49Corrine
09:50Is that the correct pronunciation?
09:51In French we say Corrine
09:52Corrine
09:53Corrine
09:54Corrine
09:54You can say it however you want
09:56As long as you say it
09:58And tell me about
09:59Your next song
10:00Tempting 2
10:01It's about growing up
10:02Isn't it?
10:03Yes exactly
10:03Tempting 2
10:04Is about
10:05I wrote it when I was
10:07Getting into adulthood
10:08And it's about
10:09Seeing the beauty
10:10In the unexpected
10:11So I always use
10:13The metaphor
10:13Of you know
10:14When you go to
10:15The countryside
10:16There are way less
10:17Lights
10:18So it gets
10:19Very very dark
10:20And that can be scary
10:21But if you look
10:22Up at the sky
10:23That's when there are
10:24There are so many more stars
10:26That you've ever seen
10:27And you can see the newbie way
10:29If you're lucky
10:31Yeah
10:32So
10:32Yeah
10:33So it's a song
10:34About
10:35Being surprised
10:36In things
10:37That could have been scary
10:39Before
10:39Before being able
10:41To see them
10:42As they are
10:42So yeah
10:43So this is
10:44Kuhin
10:45Or Corrine
10:46On CMC TV Talent
11:07You're not totally obscure
11:09But we're just enough
11:12To make you tempted
11:13You make me want to pour
11:17A little darkness
11:20In my pastels
11:21I make all my baby pangs hot
11:25My chaiouette's burgundy
11:28All my oranges
11:30Fiery
11:32And my blues
11:34Evening skies
11:36A little bit of summer
11:40Ecstasy
11:42A little bit of
11:44Dangerous
11:45Security
11:47It got me wishing
11:49It would rub off on me
11:52I'm out here thinking
11:54Baby
11:55I could be
11:57I could be
11:58I could
11:59Share
12:00I could sing
12:01With you
12:02I could
12:03Be
12:03I could
12:04Be
12:05I could
12:05Be tempted
12:07To
12:18Sometimes deep into the night
12:20When there's no light
12:23To guide the eye
12:25You said don't show me skin now
12:28The more it's dark
12:30The better you can see
12:32The stars make all my evenings new
12:35Show me hidden opportunities
12:38All of the things I could have never seen
12:43When they were disguised as scary
12:47A little bit of summer ecstasy
12:53A little bit of dangerous security
12:57It got me wishing it would rub off on me
13:03I'm out here thinking
13:05Maybe
13:06I could
13:07I could
13:09I could
13:09I could
13:10I could
13:10I could
13:11Sing
13:12With you
13:13I could
13:14I could
13:15I could
13:15I could
13:16Be tempted
13:17Be tempted
13:18I could
13:19Don't you worry
13:20Now
13:21I
13:21Swear there's more to love
13:24Oh
13:25Cause under the sun it's warm
13:28But the moon's way more fun
13:31Oh
13:33Don't you worry
13:35Now
13:36It's just
13:37That your colors are a little different inside
13:41Got a few more chains in between black and white
13:48A little bit of summer ecstasy
13:53A little bit of dangerous security
13:58You got me wishing it would rub off on me
14:03I'm out here thinking that maybe
14:07I could be, I could be, I could share
14:11I could sing with you
14:13I could be, I could be, I could be tempted to
14:26You're not totally obscure
14:29Only just enough to make you tempted
14:33And I could be, I could be, I could be tempted to
14:52Corrine Casa on CMC TV Talent
14:55We need to go for a very, very quick commercial break
14:58But we will be right back with more music for you
15:18And welcome back to CMC TV Talent
15:21We have the very, very talented Corrine Casa today with us
15:26And Corrine, the next song you're performing
15:29Is it true you wrote it during the pandemic?
15:31Yes, I wrote it in 2021
15:34So right when it was starting to get way too long
15:37You know, it was like a year and a half
15:39But after it started
15:42And so I was just, it's a song about wanderlust
15:45It's about, it's a song about dreaming of going somewhere
15:49Whatever that somewhere may be for you
15:51Because it can be a place but it could be a feeling
15:53It could be a state of being free
15:57So that's what it's about
15:58I like to call it my song for dreamers
16:01Oh, so it's a song for me because I'm a dreamer too
16:05There you go, we get each other
16:07So this is Corrine Casa on CMC TV Talent
16:18There's something about California
16:24That I just gotta see
16:29The way they say it never ends
16:33The way the sun sets in the sea
16:39There's something about the other side
16:43There's calling out to me
16:49Somewhere the music never dies
16:53And I can sing my melody
17:00Come on baby, it's time to fall
17:04Chasing after tomorrow
17:06Come on baby, it's time to see
17:10All the things we've never seen
17:14And all the moments left to cease
17:17Following the ocean breeze
17:39There's something about the other side
17:43That I bet is neon green
17:50And while I'm waiting out this dread
17:55There's no sin in daydreaming
18:02Not a single tear
18:04Not a single tear drop in the sky
18:07What a way to live
18:13Come on baby, it's time to see
18:17Come on baby, it's time to see
18:23All the things we've never seen
18:26And all the moments left to cease
18:30Following the ocean breeze
18:35And if I'm lying to myself
18:52I'm making a castle
18:55Making a castle out of sand
18:56And as long as you're with me
18:59I got everything I need
19:04Oh, come on baby, it's time to see
19:09Chasing after tomorrow
19:12Come on baby, it's time to see
19:16Come on baby, it's time to see
19:16All the things we've never seen
19:19And all the moments left to cease
19:23Follow the wind the ocean breeze
19:28Ooh
19:34Ooh
19:40Ooh
19:41Ooh
19:42Ooh
19:42Ooh
19:45Ooh
19:59Koreen, Casa on CMC TV Talent
20:03Koreen, the show is almost over
20:06One more song to go
20:08Before you sing it, would you like to share your social media
20:11So people at home can get in touch with you
20:13Maybe find out where your next gig is
20:16Or, you know, where in Montreal we will be playing
20:20Yes, yes
20:21Please come become my friends on social media
20:24You can just find me under my name
20:26So it's Koreen Casa
20:27C-O-R-I-N-N-E-C-A-Z-A
20:31And yeah, I'm on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, everywhere
20:34And tell me more about your last song
20:36To All the Boys I've Loved Before
20:38Yeah, so To All the Boys I've Loved Before
20:40Is also a song about growing up
20:42So I wrote it while looking back on all my crushes
20:47From when I was a little teenager in high school
20:50And I call it a classic love song
20:53So it has like this very crooner vibe
20:56But it has a little twist in the lyrics
20:58It brings you an unexpected road
21:00So it kind of mimics the feeling of having a crush that becomes so consuming
21:05But when you look back on it, you realize that it was pretty much all in your head
21:10So that's what it's about
21:12Yeah
21:13Okay
21:14Sometimes high school crushes do become, you know
21:17Yeah
21:17Long-term relationships
21:18Totally
21:18I got married to my high school crush
21:20Well, you're one of the lucky ones
21:22Yeah, I'm a lucky one
21:39You're one of the lucky ones
21:42You're one of the lucky ones
21:43It must be a sweet victory
21:46To know you are the reason for all this longing
21:53What you don't know is
21:57You were a pretty little vessel
22:01To give life to my stories
22:07And I don't mean to hurt your feelings
22:14But in my head, you were so dreamy
22:20And so I guess
22:23I kept you at a distance
22:27So you didn't ruin
22:30Your beauty
22:34To all the boys of love before
22:38I guess I did
22:40Because you'll never ask for anything from me
22:46That way we stayed
22:50A mystery
22:52That way we stayed
22:57A mystery
23:01That way we stayed
23:02That way we stayed
23:03That I could write
23:09Myself
23:10And you
23:14Were the actor
23:16And you played your part
23:18Brilliantly
23:26To all the boys of love before
23:31I guess I did
23:33To all the boys of love before
23:37I guess I did
23:41I guess I did
24:07To all the boys of love before
24:09I guess I did
24:12To all the boys of love before
24:16I guess I did
24:30Thank you, guys.
25:02Thank you, guys.
