Paul Manchin: Turn It Up

Ahead of a new album, the prolific pop songsmith releases a retro-sounding electro-pop cut showcasing his warm vocals.

Paul Manchin: Turn It Up

By Kerry Doole

Paul Manchin - Turn It Up (Independent): This Toronto pop singer/songwriter is a prolific recording artist, with at least 15 albums to his credit over the past two decades. A new album, 20/20, is expected early next year, and was produced at Peter Gabriel's famed Real World Studios in England.


Manchin has a warmly melodic voice, and this new track has a subtly ingratiating feel. The sound is strongly evocative of '80s electro-pop, complete with synths and drum machines.

It is no surprise to learn that his airplay-ready material has gained exposure on MTV, Bravo!, Sirius/XM and Galaxie. Collaborators on recent songs have included Moe Berg (The Pursuit of Happiness), Fergus Hambleton (The Sattalites), Black Jack, and Chin Injeti. Music supervisors would be smart to check out his catalogue.

604 Records Co-Founder Jonathan Simkin Says Carly Rae Jepsen Recorded a Whole Unreleased Album Around 'Call Me Maybe'

The British Columbia-native was signed to Interscope Records, but was reportedly tasked to make a brand new record with all new producers.

An unreleased Carly Rae Jepsen project exists out in the music ether, according to Jonathan Simkin.

In a recent podcast episode of I Hate Simkin, the 604 Records co-founder reveals that prior to the No. 1 success of Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe,” an entire project had been made — but it didn’t make it to the masses.
