What’s Hot
1. Mabou, Nova Scotia’s Heather Rankin scored a JUNO nominated album last time around. Now she delights with a seasonal album called Imagine. It is a mixture of Christmas classics and new holiday songs all dressed up with her sweet vocals.
2. Ottawa’s Daniel Taylor has under his toque a whopping 11 JUNO nominations, yet to win one. He is definitely one of the finest talents in the land when it comes to classical music. The new disc is The Path to Paradise and features the vocal talents of The Trinity Choir.
3. With 9 JUNO trophies, Winnipeg’s Neil Young needs no introduction. The latest album of new material is politically charged The Visitor. Neil is joined by players Promise of the Real. The style on this one is 70s flavoured rock.
4. From St. John’s, Newfoundland is JUNO nominated folk rock group Rawlins Cross presenting new EP Rock Steady.
What’s Cool
1. Classitronic is the name of the game for Marie-Pier. This gifted gal combines electronic lounge music with the soothing vibrations of the cello. Cello Lounge is a beautiful relaxing and invigorating instrumental album, very nicely done.
2. Cinematic arrangements, airy vocals, and downtempo beats, reminding us a little of Delerium, collective Clann serves a fine electronic album in Seelie. It is part of an ambitious multimedia project which combines the music with a number of short movies which is to culminate in a feature film. The album contains the vocal talents of Charlotte Oleena and violinist Chloe Picard.
3. Jenna Nation is back with album You Don’t Know. Simply put, it is one of the finest R&B albums of 2017. Besides being accessible to pop lovers, bursting with choice beats and Jenna’s great vocals, the album is rich in atmosphere making it a winner.
4. Hudson Alexander debuts with an EP to make your party sizzle. This gifted producer is originally from Winnipeg. The disc is called We’re Gonna Have a Party and contains four dancey electronic super jams. Great fun.
