Harrison: Mustang feat. Talvi

The highly-touted young T.O. beatmaker delivers another winner with this sensual cut and compelling video.

Harrison: Mustang feat. Talvi

By Kerry Doole

Harrison - Mustang feat. Talvi (Last Gang): The 22-year-old Toronto-based producer made a splash with his debut full-length album, Checkpoint Titanium, one that garnered rave reviews and a 2017 Juno nomination in the Electronic Album of the Year category.


Subsequent tracks have confirmed his potential as an imaginative beatsmaker, and this new offering, taken from the album Apricity, is no exception.

There's a languid and sensual feel to the cut, augmented by Talvi's ethereal vocals and the dreamy video clip, directed by Jon Riera. This video was supported by the MVP Project, a joint initiative of RBCxMusic and the Prism Prize (administered by the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television). At just 2.06, you'll wish the track and clip were a mite longer.

In a label press release, Harrison describes the making of the video as “a breeze, as I’ve worked with Jon before. I’m a little camera shy so it was nice having Talvi there, we were using the second half of Mustang, which is all her singing.”

It has been a big year for Harrison. Following the release of Apricity, he was nominated for two prestigious national awards; a CIMA Award (Canadian Independent Music Association) for the album’s marketing campaign, and 2019 Prism Prize for the video for Your Girl (feat. Ralph). Your Girl was nominated for a  2019 UK MVA under Best Pop Video – newcomer.

Harrison has been busy in the studio working on new material, collaborating with Toronto artists, including production on Sean Leon’s new album and with TOBi on his single, Beige.

New & Upcoming Canadian Album Releases: Drake & PartyNextDoor Team Up, Alessia Cara Returns with 'Love & Hyperbole'

Drake & Party have the blockbuster album of the week, but there's a diverse grouping of new releases including an archive offering from Neil Young and an adventurous project by July Talk frontman Peter Dreams with MOONRIIVR.

It's Valentine's Day, this week, and there are plenty of new albums to romance your ears. The biggest is definitely the new album from Drake & PartyNextDoor, first teased at a concert in Toronto last summer and now released during renewed chatter over Drake's beef with Kendrick Lamar after the rival rapper's Super Bowl performance.

This week, Neil Young releases a gem from the vaults, the "lost" album Oceanside Countryside. Peter Dreams (from July Talk) and acclaimed duo MOONRIIVR team up for a self-titled album on Six Shooter records, pop princess Alessia Cara releases Love & Hyperbole, Montreal R&B prospect Fernie has the new EP Hopeless Dreams, and Juno-nominated Toronto jazz singer Denielle Bassels, glam rocker Art d'Ecco and Indian fusion artist Raj Ramayya all have new projects.
