Lee Aaron – ‘Diamond Baby’ (Big Sister Records/Universal): This original song is the title track from Diamond Baby Blues, (born) Karen Lynn Greening’s latest album. Laced with screaming blues-tinged rockers, the LP includes originals and covers, such as Clint Ballard’s “Your No Good,” Rod Stewart’s “Hard Road,” Deep Purple’s “Mistreated” and Koko Taylor’s anthemic “I’m A Woman.”

If ever anyone deserved to hit the big top and earn back the years she has put in as a singer on the road, Aaron is it. She’s not mellowed an iota here, and packs in 12 tracks that scream, soar, moan and rip with a backing band that does a whole lot more than play for pay. Upcoming show dates include outdoor jamborees that include Germany’s Wacken metal fest and Sweden's hard-rock Skogsrojet event. Later in the year, she has outdoor shows in Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta.

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.
