23 year old Toronto native Abra Taylor operates under her grandmother's pen name. Originally a Harlequin Superromance novelist, the name Abra Taylor has transcended and transformed generationally into the moniker of a modern moody songstress. Abra's new single "Paris Is Burning" has received support from the likes of dynmk, IGGY Magazine, DiscoverNü, Last Day Deaf, deathordesire and more. Take a listen HERE.

"The song has this mesmeric late night feel to it— she delivers an alluring vocal performance over a mid-tempo R&B production which creates a moody pop-R&B vibe. Lyrically, it’s a brazen confession of steamy after-hours desires. She has the look, and the sound, and if she stays consistent, Abra Taylor will be on the verge of a breakthrough." - DiscoverNü

Toronto based rapper/singer Neo Tempus returns with his new single “All You Need.” Thanks to Spotify for placing the track on their Fresh Finds: The Wave and New Music Friday Canada playlists. Listen to it HERE. 

Vancouver Mural Festival 2021 announces over 60 new murals in 11 neighbourhoods across the city for this summer’s August 4–22 annual celebration. The murals will showcase an incredible line-up of diverse local artists sharing a range of cultural, historical and personal stories. The festival will also host daily mural tours, public talks (in-person and online), plus 3 weeks of live performances at an open-air, pop-up patio in Mount Pleasant.

Murals not only bring our streets to life, they’re part of a bigger story and cultural evolution. Vancouver Mural Festival harnesses the visual impact of public art to connect communities, celebrate diverse cultures and histories, and serve as a catalyst for addressing many of the socio-cultural issues facing our city and communities. Showcasing and collaborating with underrepresented/marginalized groups—including BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+ and youth—is at the core of what VMF is about. This is reflected in all aspects of the festival, including projects (art and events), curators, and artists.

Vita Lioni drops her debut EP Make-Out Sessions Vol. 1 featuring unreleased track “Couldn’t Say No.” The music has been spotlighted by the likes of Music Is My Life, Gas Mask Magazine, Dusty Organ, Deathordesire and more. Listen to the EP HERE.
