Kandle - Honey Trap

Kandle Osborne is a singer-songwriter from British Columbia who balances the sounds of cabaret and rock in her music. Some of Kandle’s musical role models include Nancy Sinatra, Billie Holiday, and Shirley Bassey. During the summer of 2020, Kandle dropped her first EP as an independent artist  - Stick Around and Find Out - which earned her critical praise from both national and international publications. Since putting out that EP, Kandle has also released the album Set the Fire' in 2021 and an EP titled Inferno in 2022.

The music video for Kandle’s song“Honey Trap, from her 2021 album, is a pink hued edgy dream. Flipping between concert-like scenes of the band singing to scenes of Kandle and her band seemingly about to do something dangerous - the video keeps you on your toes, leaving you to wonder what’s going to happen. Throughout the video we also have these really cool reflection shots with mirrors galore. Near the end of the video we see a man start to get control, trapping the women, but they want to regain their power - which is reflected in the lyrics. Overall, this video is powerful, gritty and a great watch. 

Listen to Kandle’s latest album Inferno on audio streaming services. Of note: She is the daughter of 54-40 frontman Neil Osborne, and the pair have performed and recorded together.

Shaboozey Jumps for Joy Over Song of the Year Grammy Nomination for ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’

"Let's go!!!!" the country phenom cheered upon learning the news.

Shaboozey has a lot of reasons to dance on Friday (Nov. 8), with the 29-year-old breakout country star nabbing five nominations for the 2025 Grammys.

In addition to best new artist and best melodic rap performance for his “Spaghettii” duet with Beyoncé, Shaboozey’s smash hit single “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” was recognized for best country solo performance, best country song and, last but not least, song of the year. When his name was announced in the latter category Friday, the initially nervous-looking singer — as captured by his guitarist Stephen Musselman and reposted by Shaboozey on Instagram Stories — let out a huge cheer and jumped up from his seat, bursting with joy.
