Kristian North - Halfway to Heaven 

Kristian North, former frontman for Babysitter, enters the scene with a new sound as a solo artist. The Montreal native ditches his grunge rock image for a new genre-bending sound, focusing on his lyricism to tell stories filled with confessions, desires, and mythical references. 

Halfway to Heaven is featured on his newest album Passion Play, a collection of love songs with deep-rooted themes of deception and failure under the surface. The single was written in Portugal and comes with inspiration from the warmth and romance of the country.
