Following the release of her critically acclaimed debut album Is Any of This Real?, Montreal-based singer-songwriter Avril Jensen returns with “j’ai oublié mon nom” (i forgot my name), the first single from her forthcoming French-language EP, due out this fall.

Intimate yet powerful, the track was born from a road trip with close friends — a moment of quiet introspection that sparked deeper reflections on identity, solitude, and the need to disconnect in order to rediscover oneself. It’s a striking blend of raw emotion and lyrical depth, set against a delicate, cinematic backdrop.

“j’ai oublié mon nom” arrives alongside a stunning visualizer — the first in a series of visuals accompanying the EP. Shot in the windswept landscapes of Gaspésie, a region that left a profound mark on the project, the video lets nature take center stage. Here, the wind, ocean, and silence are not just scenery, but characters in their own right — vessels for the unspoken.

With this new body of work, Avril Jensen invites listeners into a richly textured world where nostalgia and transformation intertwine — a sonic journey rooted in nature’s unpredictable beauty and the quiet truths we only hear when we’re alone.
