The 2020 Prism Prize for Best Canadian Music Video was awarded to Peter Huang, for his clip for Jessie Reyez's Far Away. We will continue to profile noteworthy Canadian videos that were eligible for the Prize, including this one from an Edmonton quartet.


Nature Of - Middle of the Morning

After meeting through the skateboard community of Edmonton, Alberta, Steve Schneider, Cole Switzer, Kyla Rankine, and Cam O'Neill formed Nature Of. Known in their hometown for their honest persona, and chill melodic songs, they have been making waves in the music industry.

Their latest release, Middle of the Morning off their most recent album, The Mean, is a song full of heart and longing that depicts a relationship in which time together is everything, with a video to follow suit.

The accompanying video begins with the introduction of characters who seem to be alone in the early morning. The video gives off the feeling of that 5am drive to the airport, with foggy skies and empty streets. It isn’t until the beat drops, that you see that each person is accompanied by another. The visuals play into the theme of the song, the idea that the time spent with one another before the world awakens is the most precious time spent.

CNE 2026 Bell SOUNDSTAGE Lineup: Charlotte Day Wilson, JoJo, Finger Eleven and More

As part of its partnership with NXNE and a renewed focus on live music, CNE will also welcome a special soon-to-be revealed global headliner presented by Billboard Canada on Aug. 28.

The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is embracing its musical roots with a high-profile lineup for 2026.

The beloved long-running fair, baptized The Ex by Torontonians, has unveiled the full list of artists who will be headlining the newly-named Bell SOUNDSTAGE at the Bandshell to celebrate the event's 147th edition. Canadian stars like Charlotte Day Wilson and Finger Eleven as well as international pop star JoJo have been added to this year's programming, which reflects a diverse mix of renowned names and rising stars across a multitude of genres including pop, hip-hop, Punjabi music and soca, among others. They join previously announced acts like Lights, Lupe Fiasco, Shaggy and more.

This year, the exhibition is partnering with Toronto music festival NXNE, to modernize its musical programming with chart-topping artists and newer acts, and revamping the Bandshell as the Bell SOUNDSTAGE. “Music is such a massive part of who we are,” Mark Holland, CEO of the CNE, told Billboard Canada in April during his Executive of the Week interview. "Connecting everybody to that is a democratic mission that we are really invested in."
