A Podcast Conversation With ... Theo Tams

By Bill King

Over the years, I’ve had an outside interest in following the progress of singer/songwriter Theo Tams. It began with the annual Yuletide duets with vocalist Ali Slaight, and then the occasional Tams side. Most recently, during the pandemic years, Tams began revealing much about himself in each release.  Therapy –– Jekyll Hyde Love – Quit U Love and most recently One Last Chance – the message and theme behind the Bell Let’s Talk documentary about mental health produced with Workman Arts, a multidisciplinary arts organization that promotes greater understanding of mental health and addiction issues through creation and presentation.

“We support artists living with mental health and addiction issues through peer-to-peer arts education, public presentations, and partnerships with the broader arts community.”

Stream Theo Tams: One Last Chance on Hot Docs streamed through to January 26.

Bell Let's Talk Day is on January 26, where five cents was to be donated to mental health charities for every applicable text, call or social media post that uses the hashtag #BellLetsTalk.

Justin Bieber Is an Honourable Mention on Billboard’s Greatest Pop Stars of 2025

After a three year absense, the Canadian star returned to music, trading in his pop sensibilities for an indie-leaning R&B sonic palette on Swag — which earned him the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart.

As a pop star, keeping your finger on the pulse isn’t always easy. In 2025, a select group of artists kept their name in the cultural zeitgeist, but didn’t quite dominate the entire year.

Last week, Billboard revealed its list of Greatest Pop Stars of 2025 Honourable Mentions, and Justin Bieber is on the list.
