Charlotte Cardin - Drive

Charlotte Cardin is a soulful pop singer from Montreal. In 2013 she auditioned for the singing competition La Voix, making it all the way to the top 4. However, it wasn’t until 2016 when she released her debut album Big Boy which helped launch her career. And only a year later she released her sophomore album, Main Girl, another hit.

The video for Drive is shot in a continuous take while Cardin walks down what appears to be a highway bridge. Her voice is full of soul as she sings her way across the road. The song is captivating,m from the guitar that is left to drift in a void to her vocals that carry through Cardin’s vacant surroundings.

LyricFind Sues Rival Musixmatch in Antitrust Suit Over ‘Unprecedented’ Warner Licensing Deal

The lawsuit claims that a "first-of-its-kind" agreement between Musixmatch and Warner Chappell means streamers like Spotify will have "no choice" about where to get lyrics.

LyricFind is suing Musixmatch over allegations that its rival struck an exclusive licensing deal with Warner Music Group (WMG) that’s “unprecedented in the music industry” and is aimed at securing an illegal monopoly for providing lyrics to streamers like Spotify.

In a complaint filed Wednesday (March 6) in San Francisco federal court, the Canadian-founded company LyricFind accuses Musixmatch and private equity owner TPG Global of violating federal antitrust laws by signing the deal with Warner Chappell Music (WCM), the publishing division of WMG, claiming it was designed to crush competition.
