Jules - 'Before You Picked Her'

A smash hit from the 17-year-old's forthcoming debut album is destined to boomerang across radio and pile up a stack of platform streams that will launch her just about anywhere she pleases.

Jules - 'Before You Picked Her'

Jules – ‘Before You Picked Her’ (RPMpromotion/It’s Jules Records): This debut track from the Oakville, ON post-teen's upcoming album debut has 'smash hit' stamped on it from start to finish but, unfortunately, we have to go with an unadorned version since the radio version has no SoundCloud or YouTube embed.

This said, take it from me that this gal has poise, a storyline that’s Shakespearian, a backing band that snaps, crackles and pops and a voice that could power a tall ship. Jules has it all on the lead-track single, and if she can follow it with more like this…well, then there’s no stopping her.

The album is called Watching, and her vague bio sheet says the set features nine “intensely rich songs” ranging from “Fool’s Gold,” about her Instagram generation’s preoccupation with fake lives over human touch to the I-had-him-first destined hit “Before You Picked Her,” and don’t-mess-with-me “Prey.”

Oh, and the single is featured in an upcoming GM commercial.

Executive of the Week: Justin West of Secret City Records on the Secrets of Independent Music Success​

The man behind one of Canada's most successful indie labels talks about the late-blooming success of French-language streaming record-holder Patrick Watson, why he builds long-term relationships with artists, and why it's important for the indie sector to work together.

Justin West is a leader and advocate in Canada’s independent music scene, but he didn’t plan it out that way. When he started his record label Secret City Records in Montreal in the mid-2000s, it was out of necessity. He had met an artist he loved and wanted to build a career with, and the label was a means to do it. That artist was Patrick Watson, and 20 years later he — and Secret City — are more successful than ever.

West — a multiple time Billboard Canada Power Player – leads one of the biggest indie labels in Canada while also advocating for the sector on multiple boards both locally and internationally. When we speak to him for this Executive of the Week interview, he’s just returned from Banff for the National Summit on Artificial Intelligence and Culture, and is a central figure in discussions around the Online Streaming Act and collective negotiations with online streaming platforms.
