Cat Clyde: All The Black

The singer/songwriter from Stratford has quietly gained a large international following. This new cut is a slow burning slab of sparse and soulful folk, while the accompanying video has a dark edge evocative of David Lynch.

Cat Clyde: All The Black

By Kerry Doole

Cat Clyde - "All The Black" (Cinematic Music Group): In a quiet under-the-radar way, this Stratford, ON, singer/songwriter has begun to gain wide international recognition.


Since the release of her 2017 debut album, Ivory Castanets, she wrapped tours supporting Paul Kelly and ZZ Ward across North America, shared the stage with Detroit’s renowned singer-songwriter, Rodriguez (Searching For Sugarman), rocked a sold-out tour in Europe with Shakey Graves, and made her first headline run across Canada. 

Her music peaked at 340.6K + monthly listeners on Spotify, with tracks featured on 96K Spotify playlists worldwide including many of the biggest roots lists around.

Soul, folk and blues strains coalesce in her rootsy sound, and she cites the likes of Etta James, Janis Joplin, and Lead Belly as influences. It is the power of her voice that will first ensnare you. That is showcased vividly on this new single, a slow burning slab of sparse and soulful folk. The accompanying video has a dark edge evocative of David Lynch.

Cat Clyde is back on the road this month with Toronto band, Wild Rivers, stopping in Toronto, Hamilton, Montreal, Quebec City, Kingston and London. Dates here

Kaytranada Wants Fans to Dance at Shows: ‘If You Put Your Phone Up, Let’s Move Them Hips at Least!’

"It looks mad awkward from where I stand," he said of seeing phones at his performances.

Kaytranada isn’t the biggest fan of how audiences choose to enjoy live shows in the age of smartphones and social media.

Over the weekend, the Montreal-based producer responded to a fan on X who apologized on behalf of “real fans” who dance at his shows as opposed to “standing still” in order to capture content for their social media pages. “Kaytranada, I am so sorry you got TikTok famous and now bastards are standing still during ‘Intimidated,’ ‘Freefall,’ ‘Vex Oh,’ ‘You’re the One,'” the fan wrote. “What the f—k is going on??? All points was I miss you @kaytranada please do some private show for the real fans because I can’t take this no more.”
