Charlotte Day Wilson: Keep Moving

Impeccable phrasing and a subtly soulful delivery makes for a gently mesmerising cut.

Charlotte Day Wilson: Keep Moving

By Kerry Doole

Charlotte Day Wilson -  Keep Moving (Stone Woman Music): This Toronto-based R&B/soul singer/songwriter is not the most prolific of artists. Her upcoming album Alpha (out July 9) will actually be her first full-length release, but earlier EPs and collaborations with the likes of Daniel Caesar, River Tiber, BadBadNotGood, and, most recently, Mustafa, have established Wilson as a serious talent, one whose work has generated strong international acclaim.


She was recently nominated for the 2021 Juno Award for Traditional R&B/Soul Recording of the Year for her single Take Care of You, and Keep Moving is another advance single from Alpha. It showcases her signature understated but compellingly soulful delivery. She has impeccable phrasing, and this personal declaration of intent is gently mesmerising.

Wilson's talent as a songwriter was recognised when her song Work was nominated for the SOCAN Songwriting Prize in 2017, while her EP CDW was a longlisted nominee for the 2017 Polaris Music Prize. Wilson's video for Work, directed by Fantavious Fritz, won the 2018 Prism Prize, and the pair used the prize money to create a special grant program for emerging female video directors.

She was recently featured as the face of Spotify's inaugural EQUAL campaign playlist and appeared on an impressive billboard in downtown Toronto. We await more music with keen anticipation.

Oscar Voting, Nominations Announcement Delayed Again Due to L.A. Wildfires

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has announced updates to its 2025 Oscars key dates and schedule of events due to the impact of the Los Angeles-area fires. The Oscar telecast is still set for March 2, but the nominations announcement is being delayed for the second time to Jan. 23 — and will now be held virtually. The Oscars nominees luncheon, always an A-list event, will not be held this year.

“We are all devastated by the impact of the fires and the profound losses experienced by so many in our community,” Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy president Janet Yang said in a joint statement. “The Academy has always been a unifying force within the film industry, and we are committed to standing together in the face of hardship.
