DVBBS: Set Me Free-feat. Aloe Blacc

Soulful vocals meet catchy EDM grooves on a winning cut.

DVBBS: Set Me Free-feat. Aloe Blacc

By Kerry Doole

DVBBS - Set Me Free - feat. Aloe Blacc (Ultra Music). DVBBS is a highly successful platinum-plated Toronto-based duo of producers/DJs/brothers Chris Chronicles and Alex Andre. Their new album, Sleep, came out last Friday, accompanied by this new single and video.


Set Me Free is a neatly consummated marriage of Aloe Blacc’s soulful vocals and the catchy EDM beats of the brothers. Blacc has featured on tracks by the likes of Avicii, Steve Aoki, Paul Oakenfold, and Young Bombs, and his work here is first-rate. Once dance clubs return properly, look for this to be a hit there.

The Sleep album features contributions from an impressive list of guests, including fellow Canadian powfu, Icona Pop, Gashi, and Ybn Nahmir. In a label press release, DVBBS explain that Sleep is a capsule that describes all the dreams we’ve had over the last year made into music. Every song on this body of work represents a different dream.”

Sleep is the follow-up to DVBBS' 2020 album Nothing To See Here. Over the past decade, the duo has notched such hits as Tsunami, IDWK, Not Going Home, GOMF, and Tinted Eyes. An impressive list of collaborations includes Wiz Khalifa, Blackbear, Belly, 24KGoldn, Quinn XCII, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Roy Woods, and, earlier this year, Johnny Orlando. DVBBS have earned two Juno nominations.

Savannah Jade Hits the Canada Country Airplay Chart With 'More Like It'

The sophomore single from the rising Quebec country singer — one half of the duo Five Roses — arrives at No. 52 on the chart. Kingston's Headstones also debut a new track with City and Colour on Mainstream Rock, "Navigate" at No. 36.

Savannah Jade is belting her way onto the airplay charts this week.

The Quebec singer is maybe best-known as half of the country duo Five Roses, but now she's branching out as a solo singer. Her sophomore single "More Like It" arrives at No. 52 on the Canada Country chart for April 26. It's a barn-burning country-pop track where she sings about what she wants for a date night: no glitz or glamour, just jeans and the local watering hole.
