As she neared her 18th birthday, Marilou's artistic ambitions changed and she decided to try her hand at songwriting. Inspired by artists she admired like Alanis Morissette, John Mayer and Muse, she collaborated with numerous writers and quickly produced no less than 30 songs. At the same time, she was introduced to Sam and JB, two young Montreal hotshot producers who were gifted musicians as well. The three of them locked themselves in Montreal's Piccolo Studio and recorded her latest album 60 Thoughts A Minute. Featuring 13 songs co-written by Marilou, the album was mixed by Tom Lord-Alge and mastered by Ted Jensen. It marks the beginning of Marilou's adult career.
