Jane's Party: Satellite

By Kerry Doole

Jane's Party - Satellite (Indie): This Toronto modern-rock band has kicked off 2019 in fine style with the release of a new album, Casual Island, featuring collaborations with DJ Skratch Bastid, Leland Whitty (BADBADNOTGOOD) and Kirty (Fast Romantics), with a strong assist from producer Derek Hoffman (The Trews, Arkells, Elwins).


The latest single from the new album, “Satellite”  has already picked up adds on Indie88, SiriusXM The Verge and CBC R2. Nothing surprising about that, for it is a well-constructed, melodic and radio-friendly tune. Call it a tale of lust at first sight: "You were there in the crowd in your Louboutins. And I won't ever forget just what I saw. With your high heels on and your braided crown, You lit that place oh it was burning down."

Jane's Party recently completed a nine-city European tour supporting Tom Odell, playing to crowds of 10,000+. The group has previously supported artists such as Arkells, Sam Roberts Band, Blue Rodeo, Stars, Lights, Lowest Of The Low, and The Sadies.

Last year, Jane’s Party members visited Iqaluit, Nunavut for the Alianait Arts Festival. The band taught workshops, collaborated with a multitude of artists and ran the festival’s "Rock School."

Jane’s Party plays a Junofest show in London on March 16, at Union 10, followed by a March 29 Buffalo gig and other Ontario shows in April. Dates here

Here’s Why ‘Shake It to the Max’ Was Deemed Ineligible at the 2026 Grammys — And Why Its Label Calls the Decision ‘Devoid of Any Common Sense’

Representatives from the Recording Academy and gamma. CEO Larry Jackson comment on one of this year's most shocking Grammy snubs.

Few phrases define the year in music and culture like Moliy’s scintillating directive to “shake it to the max.” The Ghanaian singer’s sultry voice reverberated across the globe, blending her own Afropop inclinations with Jamaican dancehall-informed production, courtesy of Miami-based duo Silent Addy and Disco Neil. Originally released in December 2024, Moliy’s breakthrough global crossover hit ascended to world domination, peaking at No. 6 on the Global 200, thanks to a remix featuring dancehall superstars Shenseea and Skillibeng. Simply put, “Max” soundtracked a seismic moment in African and Caribbean music in 2025.

Given its blockbuster success, “Shake It to the Max” was widely expected to be a frontrunner in several categories at the 2026 Grammys. In fact, had the song earned a nomination for either best African music performance or best global music performance, many forecasters anticipated a victory. So, when “Shake It to the Max” failed to appear on the final list of 2026 Grammy nominees in any category earlier this month (Nov. 7), listeners across the world were left scratching their heads — none more than gamma.
