Christophe Dubé, aka CRi, shares the single ‘I Can Make It’, taken from his sophomore album, Miracles, released in September 2023.
On the first album single, ‘I Can Make It’, Christophe debuted on vocals, creating an uplifting ambience surrounded by warm and rhythmic synths and a thumping bassline. This equally danceable and soothing track sets an optimistic tone for the rest of the album.
The album release was accompanied by a 17-date North American Tour which CRi completed in December – the album tour kicked off with a hometown show at Montréal’s iconic Mtelus, which regularly plays host to indie-electronic stars, including, Metronomy, Jungle, Monolink and Max Cooper. In February CRi will play his first headline London show at Lafayette.

A self-taught former pizza delivery driver turned full-time musician, CRi is a significant player in the Montreal electronic scene, with his distinctive sonic palette characterised by pulsating house synths, intricate syncopated snares, and forward-thinking basslines. As a self-taught college dropout, the Canadian gained recognition with his EPs Tell Her and Someone Else. His breakthrough came in 2018 with a Juno nomination and the release of the mini EP Me and My Friends. Notably, he collaborated with Charlotte Cardin on the reimagined track ‘Fous n’importe où’.
Joining the Anjunadeep roster in 2019, he gained attention from the label fanbase, and radio titans Pete Tong, Annie Mac and Jason Bentley with his Initial EP. His debut artist album Juvenile released the year later received unexpected support and was nominated for Best Electronic Album at the JUNO Awards, and three separate titles at the 2021 ADISQ Awards, including Electronic Album of the Year and ‘Revelation’ of the Year, which CRi won.
