Hamilton, Ontario based duo Allegories have a third track to share in the lead-up to the release of their forthcoming album, Endless, to be released on April 29th.

“Constant,” a vocally led steadily, pulsating piece of indie electronic music, is what the duo call a “timid diss track to oneself and all that you love.”

Revolving around its refrain yet constantly exploring new vocal modulations and synth tones, “Constant” wants to be that endorphin rush, that effervescent dopamine surge surrounding you.

We are all feeling our way through the dark. Fumbling and failing, but hopeful.

As elastic in our sense of time as we are blissfully fading and forgetting.

When her first single “Alone Again” (ft. P. Reign) became a massive global hit, getting certified Double Platinum in Canada and selling over a million copies around the world – Alyssa Reid knew she had found her path. Fast forward to 2022 and Reid has played on stages around the world, been nominated for JUNO Awards & MMVA’s, and has had hit after hit – crossing genres and pop music boundaries as a singer-songwriter. 

The taboo new track, “Roses,” wasn’t meant to be released as Reid wasn’t thinking about how others might perceive it – she only knew where she was at when she felt compelled to write which was an inexplicable state of numbness. Sitting down at the piano one day, Reid picked a starting chord and the entire song just spilled out.

borza has produced more than 250 records, for emerging artists from the Quebec music scene, as well as established artists such as Emmylou Harris, the McGarrigle sisters, Lauryn Hill and Malcolm Burn.

His inspirations are mostly about curiosity of, and reflections on, our behaviours between each other as human beings. As a solo artist, Borza’s brand new single “1 on 1” offers a fresh alternative, indie rock and folk combination that mentions a lesser talked about subject between people that love each other. “For some reason, sometimes a kin, or we ourselves, act differently in the presence of others,” borza realized. “This song mentions certain reasons for wanting to be alone, and just ‘1 on 1’ with someone you love.”

A songwriter immersed in poetry, a poet immersed in music, Jenny Berkel’s work is an invitation into a world of relatable introspection, in which even absences can be sculpted into vividly memorable verse.

Berkel’s new single, “You Think You’re Like the Rain” is a languid piece of melodic folk, inspired by a friend who was in a heavy space. Its lyrics recognize the multitudes contained in one person: “I know you’re not the rain, though maybe you’re everything.”

This vastness is embodied within the coastal Nova Scotian landscapes that feature in the music video for “You Think You’re Like the Rain,” shot by Phyllis Rising Productions. Intimacy and closeness are at the heart of this song’s themes.

Designer Dakota Burpee provided the striking piece that Berkel wears in the video, one that simultaneously leaps out of and flows through each frame.

Granny Smith (also known as Jason Bhattacharya) is about to share “Out Of My Head,” a concise old school pop inspired track which reflects on the dissociative episodes Bhattacharya experienced following a series of seizures which left him in a coma.

“I wanted to express the feeling of having multiple narratives going on at once…trying to listen but your mind is telling you a thousand things,” explains Bhattacharya.

The piano fades in and the music lifts and falls to allow the song to breathe. Instead of having one continuous bassline, there are multiple basses all playing off of eachother to further express the disorienting feeling of having multiple narratives. 

Head to YouTube to watch the official music video for “Out Of My Head,” produced in collaboration with Don River, Tessa Presta, and Hossam Aboukoura.

This piece of stop motion animation follows an individual who lives in a kingdom of fruits and vegetables which is in a constant state of flux.

Cabin Fever Orchestra isn’t trying to preserve the tradition of classical music whatsoever – but rather, it is a project that has an eye toward breathing new life into music with a similar instrumentation. Led by award-winning composer Graeme Cornies, who over the past 15 years has worked on more than 40 television shows, scored documentary features on BBC and National Geographic, and contributed to Triple AAA games. 

Graeme collaborated with Drew Jurecka (Dua Lipa, Bahamas, Ron Sexsmith) and Joshua Van Tassel (Great Lake Swimmers, Sarah Slean, Rose Cousins) for his latest song, “An Old Friend”. Similar to a lullaby with a quiet sense of gratitude, it’s about the rare moments in life where two people feel truly seen by one another.
