Foxwarren - Lost on You

This group of siblings and childhood friends from the Prairies is now based out of Regina, Saskatchewan. Members include Andy Shauf, Dallas Bryson, and brothers Darryl Kissick, and Avery Kissick.

Shot by Mark Klassen and Hope Little, the video is set in Nevada's Death Valley as they light up the desert with experimental lighting effects and LED tubes.

Shauf looks back on the group's debut release in an interview: “So much time and effort went into making this album; it's something I think we're all really proud of … Making the album was such an enjoyable time - the collaboration and frustration of it all. All of us are trying to make something better than we previously had. We've been a band for 10 years or so and never properly released an album, so this is special for the four of us.”

Of note: Shauf is currently receiving international success as a solo singer/songwriter.

Val Blavatnik to Oversee Warner Music Canada in New Role at Warner Music Group

Blavatnik will oversee Warner Music Canada as managing director of Warner Music North America, U.K. and Corporate Development at WMG. As part of a slew of executive announcements, Simon Robson will be leaving the company, while Alejandro Duque takes the top international role.

Val Blavatnik, the 28-year-old son of Warner Music Group majority owner and vice chairman Len Blavatnik, has been named managing director of Warner Music North America, U.K. and Corporate Development at the Warner Music Group, the company announced Friday (Sept. 25). In his new role the younger Blavatnik, who has held several roles at the company in recent years, and has been a board member since 2023, expects to “unify and drive business and operational strategy across these markets while guiding the company’s investment strategy to support growth,” according to a press release.

The Blavatnik announcement is part of a flurry of new executive announcements that CEO Robert Kyncl made this morning. In addition, Atlantic Music Group chairman/CEO Elliot Grainge will take on ADA in the U.S. as its new chairman, while Alejandro Duque, who has held the dual roles of president of Warner Latin and president of ADA since last July, has been named president of Warner Music International, adding Asia-Pacific and Europe, the Middle East and Africa under his oversight. (Duque will continue to oversee ADA outside the U.S.) Zach Friedman, currently COO at Atlantic Music Group, will add the title of vice chair of ADA U.S. to his resume.
