Christine Baird

While living in Park City, Utah during her high school years, Christine Baird had the opportunity to be the lead vocalist in the bands the Crescent Super Band and the Soul Research Foundation. Christine then moved to New York City to pursue a degree in Musical Theatre at Marymount Manhattan College where she studied with Broadway legends and honed her craft as a singer and actress. After college, she booked a contract as a principal vocalist on Viking Ocean Cruises and spent 2017 exploring the Baltic and Mediterranean Seas by day and performing musicals and cabarets for guests by night. Upon her return to New York City, Christine hit the ground running with her music career. She began writing more original music, performing solo gigs throughout the city, and found success as a singer in the party band circuit in the tri-state area. She spent a large majority of 2020 recording and producing her debut EP, Sense of It All, out March 5. The lead single, 'Alone Tonight', has prompted recent listeners to describe Christine as "Country Celine Dion." Christine has this to say about the song and the EP: "'Alone Tonight' was written a couple years ago and made into a very minimal demo with my producer, Ashton Corey, as somewhat of a side project. However, in 2019, I played some live full band gigs featuring all of my original music. It was then that I contacted Ashton and expressed my desire to produce a full EP, with 'Alone Tonight' going on to become the first single. Sense of It All features songs that reach every edge of the country music genre from blues to rock to folk and back, tied together by my southern rock/soul-styled vocals. We set out to make an album of music, featuring an incredible group of international musicians, that felt organic and sonically spacious. With Sense of It All, the intention was always to make music we love and I can guarantee we accomplished that! 'Alone Tonight' was produced with Mutt Lange's style of production––specifically his work with Shania Twain––in mind, with the intention of achieving the big sound that defines country music of the late 90s/early 2000s."

Formerly the bassist and founder member of The Chelsea Girls (who later became Nine Black Alps), Lane began to record and perform as XUP in London in 2008. Then in 2015 she returned to Manchester, where she continues her post-punk journey. XUP has produced six albums and her latest - Feed The Wolf Inside, was released on August 23, 2020. 'Feed The Wolf Inside' is the third and final single from the XUP album by the same name. "'Feed The Wolf Inside' is a  primal creature that shape-shifts between predator and prey and dances between the chase and the kill. It creeps into birth, life, death and all the sick and twisted love songs that fill the deep, dark spaces in between," explains Lane. The song was written, arranged and produced by XUP and was recorded at the start of the apocalypse at Cherry Vitriol Studios, Manchester. Additional sound production and mastering comes courtesy of Him In That London. Listen below.

Carsen Gray

Hailing from Haida Gwaii, BC, Carsen Gray is indigenous (Haida) and mixed descent and is no stranger to a life of art, music, and entertainment. In 2017 Carsen Gray released her debut self titled album. Carsen Gray is a fresh artist that is stunning Canadians across the Nation with her soulful lyrics, sexy style, captivating voice and energetic sound. Passionate about songwriting and creative new sounds, Carsen is sure to entertain fans that yearn for relatable lyrics, and upbeat songs that make you want to dance. "My late friend wrote 'Little One' for my dad and me, and I fell in love with the lyrics," says Carsen of her latest single. "The song really made me think about my children and the love I have for them. How children come into the world so perfect, pure and innocent, but somehow our hearts become hardened as we grow older and experience the hardships of life. He always wanted me to sing one of his songs. I really didn't know how it was supposed to flow, or the melodies he had in mind, but it just came out naturally and without much thought. I know he would have been proud to hear it. Children are born with faith, love and trust but for many, those beautiful qualities are slowly taken away, resulting in the current broken generation. As parents, we need to protect them; to be their nurturing and guiding presence along paths of hardships, troubles and sorrows. I think about how God thinks of us in this way, as his precious and beloved children. He knew us before he knit us together in our mother's womb. We are his little ones too. I hope this brings you comfort." Listen below.

Joce Reyome

Allow Canadian artist Joce Reyome's new single 'Cross My Heart' to transport you to summertime. This will be one to listen to at max volume, driving in the car on a comfy summer night. "When I was first starting to write my own music, it was very tame and folky, just me and an acoustic guitar," says Joce. "I really wanted to explore other genres, and started listening to some Otis Redding, Janis Joplin, Earl Hooker to feel that sound that comes from an old soul. And all of a sudden, this straight blues idea came to mind, and I said "Damn! I gotta get on this!" It was a fantastic experience working with Erin Costelo and Colin Buchanan (Paper Lions) on this song. In my day-to-day life I am very easy-going, almost to a fault. When it came time to say "yes" or "no" or "I don't like that" during recording, I struggled a bit. But I learned very quickly that only I know what I want it to sound like, and nobody is going to know if I don’t tell them!" Listen below.

Clara Jones

Clara Jones is a mainstay of the Montreal music scene, having played everything from JazzFest to Osheaga with the indy-trio, Motel Raphael. After nearly a decade of work, including two studio albums and two North American tours with the band, for the first time, Clara Jones is breaking out as a solo artist, with her single 'Ordinary Person,' a deep and emotional examination of the human experience. Clara Jones provides a space for everybody. Her country-folk background inspires deeper dives into her music’s subject matter, with a focus on lyrical depth. But, most importantly, her songs are fun and energetic. Clara on 'Ordinary Person': "You know the feeling when you're lying awake at night in a spiral of anxiety and can't understand why the regular stressors of life are so intense for you? When you begin to compare your problems with others and find yours unworthy of the 3am despair you're feeling? It isn't rational, but I think it is something we've all gone through this year. I wanted to illustrate that slice of life with my new single, 'Ordinary Person.' You are not the only one engaging in catastrophic thinking, and I hope this song can be a comfort through this."

Hayley wrote this song to explore the duality of being strong and vulnerable in the face of adversity. Fierce and soft. Listen below.
