Enola Bedard Speaks On Creating A Multilingual Love Song
Enola Bedard is a Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, and multidisciplinary artist originally from Quebec, Canada returning with her latest single ‘Telepatia’. Acting as a celebration of the connections that exist beyond words, Enola delivers a multilingual love song informed by her global musical and cultural influence. Blending global influences with a refined, rhythmic sensibility, Enola’s music sits at the intersection of pop, dance, and international sounds, often weaving between English, French, and Spanish. Her work is rooted in movement and emotion, creating records that feel as visual as they are sonic. In conversation with Clique, Enola shares that she loves mixing languages and embracing her French roots while blending different musical styles, including baile funk. For her, music is about bringing people together, and mixing cultures and languages makes everyone feel included in the song, no matter where they’re from.
CLIQUE: As your song “Telepatia” embraces many cultures and languages, what did it mean to you to be able to do that with a song, and when did this idea come to you?
ENOLA: I love mixing languages and embracing my French roots while blending different musical styles, including baile funk. For me, music is about bringing people together, and mixing cultures and languages makes everyone feel included in the song, no matter where they’re from.
The idea for “Telepatia” came to me when I was in Sweden at a songwriting camp. I was traveling by myself and being away from my friends, family, and loved ones made me realize that, even when we’re miles apart, we’re still deeply connected. We would be thinking about each other at the same time or calling each other at the exact same moment. That feeling of an invisible connection between people is what inspired the idea behind “Telepatia.”
CLIQUE: When did you first start getting into music?
ENOLA: I’ve been involved in music since I was really young. I grew up doing musical theatre and dancing, and for fun I was always creating my own music mixes. As I started choreographing more for myself and for other artists, I realized I wanted to create a complete 360° artistic experience—from the music to the choreography, visuals, and live performance.
That’s when I decided to start making my own music. I began this journey about three years ago, and I’ve absolutely fallen in love with this new path.
“I would describe “Telepatia” as a celebration of connection. It’s about the invisible bond we share with the people we love, even when we’re far apart. The song blends different languages, cultures, and musical influences to show that music has the power to bring people together beyond borders.”
CLIQUE: How would you describe “Telepatia” in your own words?
ENOLA: I would describe “Telepatia” as a celebration of connection. It’s about the invisible bond we share with the people we love, even when we’re far apart. The song blends different languages, cultures, and musical influences to show that music has the power to bring people together beyond borders. It’s uplifting, energetic, and meant to make people dance while also reminding them that we’re all more connected than we sometimes realize.
CLIQUE: Are there any specific musicians that you really look up to because of the way they specifically incorporate different languages and their culture into their music?
ENOLA: Absolutely. Shakira and Rosalía are two of my biggest inspirations because of how naturally they mix different languages and celebrate their cultures through their music. They’ve shown that you don’t have to fit into just one style or one language to connect with people around the world.
That really inspired me to embrace my own French roots while blending different musical influences and languages in my music. I love creating songs that feel universal and bring different cultures together, because I think music is one of the most powerful ways to connect people.
CLIQUE: Who is someone you would like to collaborate with in the future?
ENOLA: Sean Paul would definitely be an artist I’d love to collaborate with. I’ve always loved his energy and the way he blends dancehall with different musical influences. I think it would be amazing to mix languages and cultures in a song together while creating something that makes people want to dance. I feel like our styles could complement each other really well.
CLIQUE: What have you learned about yourself as an artist through the process of making music?
ENOLA: Making music has taught me that I’m capable of so much more than I ever imagined. Because my team is still very small, I’ve had to learn skills I had never done before. I’ve taught myself how to produce, vocal produce, write my own songs, choreograph my performances, direct and edit my music videos, style my looks, create my live arrangements and mixes, and even design my own screen visuals for my shows.
It’s definitely been challenging, but it’s also made me a much more well-rounded artist. I’ve learned to trust my instincts, be resourceful, and fully bring my creative vision to life from start to finish.
CLIQUE: Is touring and being able to visit the countries and sing with fans something that you see happening soon?
ENOLA: I can’t wait—that’s honestly the part I’m looking forward to the most. I definitely see myself touring soon. I’d love to open for a major artist first, then eventually go on my own headline tour. Performing at festivals around the world is also a huge dream of mine.
Right now I’m still doing everything with a very small team, so I’m just waiting for the right opportunities and the right people to help take it to the next level. I can’t wait to finally meet fans in different countries and share that experience with them.
“As a professional dancer and choreographer, dance has completely shaped the way I make music and my relationship with it. I create music to tell stories through dance, visuals, and performance, so I naturally hear music through a dancer’s ear.”
CLIQUE: As a professional dancer and choreographer, can you speak to how that has affected the music you make and your relationship with it?
ENOLA: As a professional dancer and choreographer, dance has completely shaped the way I make music and my relationship with it. I create music to tell stories through dance, visuals, and performance, so I naturally hear music through a dancer’s ear.
I’m very specific about the rhythm and production. I want the beat to feel intentional and danceable, drawing inspiration from a blend of my favorite styles—baile funk, Latin, Afro, and dancehall. Every sound should inspire movement.
When it comes to the lyrics, storytelling is just as important. I want each song to have a clear narrative so every visual can feel unique and intentional. Some tracks are more vocal-driven, while others are designed with dance breaks that give me the space to fully express the story through movement. For me, the music and choreography are never separate—they’re created together.
CLIQUE: What songs would you consider some of the most iconic songs to dance to?
ENOLA: Some of the most iconic songs to dance to, for me, are definitely by artists like Shakira, ROSALÍA, J Balvin, Sean Paul, Jennifer Lopez, and Rihanna. I grew up inspired by the energy of 2000s music—it was bold, rhythmic, and made you want to move the second it came on.
I also love Latin music and the infectious grooves of baile funk. Those genres bring a raw energy and confidence that’s impossible to ignore. Whether it’s a powerful hip movement, intricate footwork, or a full-out performance moment, that music creates space for dancers to really express themselves.
I’m always drawn to songs that have a strong rhythm, unexpected beat changes, and moments that allow choreography to breathe. Those are the tracks that stay with people and become timeless because they’re not just great to listen to—they make you feel something and inspire movement.
CLIQUE: What do you have coming up in the future or hope to be doing soon?
ENOLA: I’m excited to keep evolving as an artist. I want to work on a new music project that’s more French-inspired, as well as a separate project rooted in baile funk, because both reflect different sides of who I am creatively.
A major goal of mine is to tour—both opening for an artist I admire and eventually headlining my own shows. Performing live is where everything comes together for me: the music, the choreography, the visuals, and the storytelling.
Right now, my biggest challenge is building the right team around me. I know where I want to go, and I have a clear vision, but having the right people who believe in that vision and can help bring it to life is the next step in making those dreams a reality.
