Diane Dufresne - À part de d'ça, j'me sens ben/Opéra-cirque
À part de d'ça, j'me sens ben/Opéra-cirque is the second album from Québécoise chanteuse Diane Dufresne. It is essentially two separate single-sided albums: À part de d'ça, j'me sens ben, with its iconic cover photo of Dufresne in jeans and a body-painted fleurs-de-lys top, is more rocking, while Opéra-cirque, with Dufresne in clown make-up on the cover, owes somewhat to cabaret.
Although it did not originally meet with enough commercial success for Barclay to release it in France, it has since become a critical favourite: in 2008, La Presse newspaper ranked it among the top 50 Québécois albums of all time.
"Rock pour un gars d'bicyc'" was released as a single.
