04:53Corrine Casa on CMC TV Talent, thank you so much for coming, and your band is incredible.
05:01I know, they're so good.
05:02Would you like to introduce them?
05:04Of course.
05:04So this is Chad, the drummer.
05:06Not your first rodeo.
05:10How 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.
05:28All so talented.
05:29And Corrine, your voice is so beautiful.
05:32And you've been singing since you were a little kid.
05:34Yes.
05:34Is it true that you started singing first, and then you started talking, so singing came first?
05:42Yes, yes.
05:43That's what I like to say.
05:44So if anybody says that it's different, then it's not true.
05:47I know the real story.
05:49I don't know.
05:50I found a video when I was young of me on a staircase just singing gibberish at like three years
05:56old, or like two or one.
05:58I don't know what.
05:58But anyways, it was.
05:59So that's why I like to say that I started singing before I started talking, because I like to sing
06:05gibberish.
06:05Music before words.
06:06Yes, exactly.
06:06I like that.
06:07And you come from a multicultural family.
06:09Yes.
06:10You were born and raised in Montreal.
06:12Yes.
06:12So how many languages would your family speak at home?
06:15So at home, we would speak French.
06:17Okay, French, of course.
06:18My mother's tongue is French.
06:19We had English, so my parents would speak English, so I wouldn't understand, which just made me want to learn
06:25English even more.
06:26Yep.
06:27Then we had Italian.
06:28We had beautiful Italian songs in the house every day.
06:32Spanish and Greek sometimes, a little bit of everything.
06:36Greek sometimes.
06:38And how many languages can you speak?
06:40So I speak French, English, Spanish.
06:47I'm missing only the practice.
06:50And I can understand some Italian, but I can't answer.
06:55The accent is perfect.
06:56Ah, thank you.
06:57I have to practice.
06:58I'm missing the practice.
07:00If you visit Montreal, you actually might bump into Korean because you do a lot of busking.
07:06Yes, yes, I do.
07:08I do.
07:09Right under the Basilique Notre Dame, which is one of the biggest touristic places.
07:14And I started that last year, and I really had beautiful, magical moments from that.
07:19So, yeah, it's a very special thing for me.
07:24I've met people from all over the world.
07:26Some people from Toronto, actually.
07:28So if you're watching, hi, guys.
07:30Corinne is here with us.
07:32Yes, I changed cities.
07:34And 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.
07:42Oh, dad and mom.
07:42My brother is here, too.
07:44Shout out to my brother.
07:45And your brother, too.
07:47Yeah.
07:48How do you feel having this family support?
07:50Many musicians, when they tell their parents, I want to be a musician, I want to be a singer,
07:55it's usually like, are you nuts?
07:58So how is it, like, being in a very supportive family?
08:01It means everything to me.
08:02My parents and my brother, they're my best friends.
08:04I mean, every time, I always say, if you know me, then you know them, because they're at
08:08every single one of my concerts.
08:10Even my parents come with me busking.
08:13They're here.
08:14Just people, once people, once someone took, mistook my dad for a cop, because he was making
08:22sure everything was secure and nobody was bothering me.
08:25So I'm so lucky.
08:27They're my best friends.
08:28Oh, that's so beautiful.
08:29And tell me about this, you know, love story with dogs.
08:35Yes, I love dogs.
08:36Dogs have my heart.
08:38Honestly, if I wasn't a singer, I'd be either a vet or I'd, like, start a refuge for dogs.
08:44And once, when I was traveling, I was on a super high balcony, and, you know, there was
08:51a man walking his dog, and all of a sudden, the dog stopped walking, but the man couldn't
08:56hear what was happening.
08:57But the dog could hear me singing on the balcony.
09:00So the dog started to be, he was my number one fan, my first fan.
09:04So I always say, if it doesn't work with humans, then I have, I always have dogs.
09:08And their hearing is better than yours.
09:09Yeah, yeah, I know.
09:10That means I must be pretty good, right?
09:13Yeah.
09:14We need to go for a very, very quick commercial break.
09:18But we will be right back with more Corrine Casa on CMC TV Challenge.
09:41And welcome back to CMC TV Talent.
09:44We have Corrine Casa today with us.
09:46And I've been calling you Corrine, but people in Montreal will call you, like, Corrine.
09:50Corrine.
09:50Is that the correct pronunciation?
09:51In French, we say Corrine, yeah.
09:52Corrine.
09:53Corrine.
09:53Corrine.
09:54Corrine.
09:54You can say it however you want, as long as you say it.
09:58And tell me about your next song, Tempting 2.
10:01It's about growing up, isn't it?
10:03Yes, exactly.
10:04Tempting 2 is about, I wrote it when I was getting into adulthood, and it's about seeing
10:10the beauty in the unexpected.
10:12So I always use the metaphor of, you know, when you go to the countryside, there are way
10:17less lights, so it gets very, very dark, and that can be scary.
10:21But if you look up at the sky, that's when there are so many more stars that you've ever
10:27seen.
10:27And you can see the beauty way.
10:30If you're lucky, yeah.
10:32So, yeah, so it's a song about being surprised in things that could have been scary before
10:40being able to see them as they are.
10:42So, yeah.
10:43So this is Kuhin, or Corrine, on CMC TV Talent.
11:07You're not totally obscure, but we're just enough to make you tempted, and all you make
11:16me want to pour a little darkness in my pastels, and make all my baby pangs hot.
11:25My chariots burgundy, all of my oranges fiery, and my blues evening skies.
11:36A little bit of summer ecstasy, a little bit of dangerous security, it got me wishing it
11:50would rub off on me.
11:52I'm out here thinking, baby, I could be, I could be, I could share, I could sing with
12:02you.
12:02I could be, I could be, I could be tempted to.
12:18Sometimes deep into the night, when there's no light to guide the eye, you said, don't you
12:33will hit me?
12:40I'm not going to be, I could be, I could be, I could be, I could be, I could be,
12:42I could be,
12:43it's so this is Fifi.
12:47A little bit of somber ecstasy
12:53A little bit of dangerous security
12:58It got me wishing it would rub off on me
13:03I'm out here thinking that maybe
13:06I could be, I could be, I could
13:10Sure, I could sing with you
13:13I could be, I could be, I could be tempted to
13:18Ah, don't you worry now
13:21I swear there's more to love
13:24Ah, cause under the sun it's warm
13:28But the moon's way more fun
13:31Ah, ah, ah, don't you worry now
13:36It's just that your colors are a little different inside
13:42Got a few more chains in between black and white
13:48A little bit of somber ecstasy
13:53A little bit of dangerous security
13:58It got me wishing it would rub off on me
14:04I'm out here thinking that maybe
14:07I could be, I could be, I could
14:11Sure, I could sing with you
14:14I 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
15:43It's a song about wanderlust
15:45It'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
16:24But I just gotta see
16:29The way they say it never ends
16:33The way the sun sets in the sea
16:39Something about the sun sets in the sea
16:42Something about the other side
16:43Is calling out to me
16:49Somewhere the music never dies
16:53And I can sing my melody
16:59Oh, come 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
17:13And all the moments left to cease
17:17Following the ocean breeze
17:21Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
18:21Well, I'm waiting out this dread
18:21Oh, come 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
18:35Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
18:49And if I'm lying to myself
18:53Making a castle out of sand
18:56Then as long as you're with me
19:00I got everything I need
19:04I got everything I need
19:04Oh, come on baby, it's time to fall
19:09Chasing after tomorrow
19:12Come on baby, it's time to see
19:16All the things we've never seen
19:19And all the moments left to cease
19:23Following the ocean breeze
19:28Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
19:59Corrine Casa on CMC TV Talent
20:03Corrine, the show is almost over
20:06One more song to go
20:08Before you sing it
20:10Would you like to share your social media?
20:12So people at home can get in touch with you
20:13Maybe find out where your next gig is
20:16Or where in Montreal we will be playing
20:20Yes, yes, please come become my friends on social media
20:24You can just find me under my name
20:26So it's Corrine 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 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
21:04That becomes so consuming
21:05But when you look back on it
21:07You realize that it was pretty much all in your head
21:11So that's what it's about
21:13Okay
21:14Sometimes high school crushes do become, you know
21:17Yeah
21:17Long-term relationships
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
21:24So this is Corrine Casa on CMC TV Talent
21:28And see you next week
21:38To all the boys I've Loved Before
21:43It must be a sweet victory
21:46To know you were 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
22:13But in my head
22:18You were so dreaming
22:20So I guess
22:23I kept you at a distance
22:26So you didn't ruin
22:30Your beauty
22:34To all the boys I've Loved Before
22:38I guess I did
22:40Because you'll never ask for anything
22:45From me
22:46That way we stayed
22:50A mystery
22:52That way we stayed
22:57A mystery
23:01That I could write
23:07A mystery
23:10A mystery
23:12And you
23:13A mystery
23:16A mystery
23:18A mystery
23:19A mystery
23:21A mystery
23:33To all the boys I loved before
23:37I guess I did
24:06To all the boys I loved before
24:09I guess I did
24:12To all the boys I loved before
24:16I guess I did
24:29Thank you
24:31Thank you
24:44Thank you
25:03Thank you
