“Watson is an outstanding storyteller…the tapestry of sounds that he weaves together is mind-blowing” - NPR Music 

“Tastefully subdued…showcases Watson’s forte for lustrous, wide-scope chamber pop” - UNCUT

“A roll call of Quebecois luminaries...this stately, sometimes gospel-esque album has the forced intensity of a coiled spring.” ★★★★- MOJO

“His finest work to date... a consistently thrilling record and unquestionably one of the albums of 2025” - Silent Radio

★★★★ - Record Collector

Singer-songwriter, film composer and pianist Patrick Watson has released Uh Oh, a deeply personal 11-track collection that investigates the idea of life as being a series of “uh ohs”: a little phrase uttered in response to everything from childhood accidents to our most overwhelming anxieties. The songs on this album were written during a period where Watson was experiencing his own career-threatening “uh oh” - he’d lost his voice. Unsure if he would ever sing again, he composed the album as a collection of collaborations with friends and strangers who would sing his songs when he couldn’t. It’s the culmination of 20 years of musical exploration, and a showcase for the unique cinematic textures that have brought Watson immense acclaim and billions of streams over his celebrated career. The album has been met with praise, including 4-star reviews in MOJO and Record Collector, coverage from NPR Music, UNCUT, France Inter, Le Parisien, Le Figaro, La Matinale sur France Info, Rolling Stone Germany, BBC 6 Music,and beyond. Watson is kicking off his tour on October 28^th, with some of the largest venues of his career, and recently announced new tour dates. Buy your tickets here

The history-making “Je te laisserai des mots” - is the first French-language song to surpass 1 billion streams on Spotify and gained significant traction over the years.  It has amassed enough streams to hit platinum-level in 29 countries, and gold-level thresholds in 34 countries. The song has been instrumental in expanding the reach and resonance of Francophone music worldwide, with non-French speakers performing their own versions (check it out HERE) and finding comfort in it during challenging times. Watson shared more details about the "hit" in The Guardian recently, and the track was also just featured in the season finale of the hit Amazon TV series The Summer I Turned Pretty, which aired on September 17.

Most of the songs on Uh Oh see Watson and his band, long-time bandmates, collaborator and multi-instrumentalist Mishka Stein, and Olivier Fairfield and co-vocalist Ariel Engle—a.k.a. La Force) joined by a guest singer, ranging from the iconic voices he’s idolized for years (Martha Wainwright) to ones he discovered through Instagram scrolling (Solann); a local Quebec favorite (Klô Pelgag) to international phenoms (MARO, Hohnen Ford, November Ultra); from JUNO Award-winning pop star (Charlotte Cardin), to Félix award winner (Anachnid), to a friend he met when she worked the counter at this local coffee shop (Charlotte Oleena).

Watson utilized a minimalist approach when tracking the new album, recording in locations around the world (Montreal, New Orleans, L.A., Mexico City, Paris) and cutting takes with only 2 microphones. Seeking to capture the power of the moment, he limited each track to 1-2 takes in order to achieve spontaneity with his guests. This approach is demonstrated by the haunting, ethereal qualities of many of these tracks, and Watson even studied the low-end and hi-hat mix on Cardi B’s “Up” to get the album’s sound just right.

About Patrick Watson

Patrick Watson composes, performs, and records his albums with his long-time bandmates, collaborator and multi-instrumentalist Mishka Stein, and Olivier Fairfield. The Canadian artist reached gold and platinum status in multiple countries, and his shows sell out around the world. Over the course of his career, Patrick has retained the uncanny ability to coexist in mainstream pop-culture spaces and on the avant-garde fringes. Patrick’s songs have been featured in primetime crowd-pleasers like Grey’s Anatomy and This Is Us, as well as in multiple arthouse films from Denis Villeneuve (Polytechnique), Wim Wenders (Perfect Days), Philippe Falardeau (C’est pas moi, je le jure!) and more. He’s an artist who’s as comfortable performing impromptu pop-up shows on the train tracks in a Quebec mining town as he is leading the BBC Orchestra at London’s prestigious Barbican. He’s an in-demand composer with over 15 film scores under his belt. He was awarded the prestigious inaugural Impact Award at the 2024 Canadian Sync Awards.
