Roy Woods: 2 Me

Taken from his brand new album, this cut showcases the Toronto R&B star’s appealingly vulnerable voice.

Roy Woods: 2 Me

By Kerry Doole

Roy Woods - 2 Me (OVO Sound). A key member of Drake's OVO Sound posse, this Toronto singer released his latest project, Dem Times, a week ago, and it is already attracting attention.


This fine new cut is sure to accelerate the momentum. It showcases the appealing vulnerability of Woods' voice, and the understated production is subtly ingratiating. Helping the cause is a video clip directed by Dragan Andic, one that a label press releases states "extends the visual narrative around Dem Times, which Woods has been building up over the previous weeks that includes compelling visuals for Cool J and I Feel It.”

Woods worked on the six-song release in both LA and Toronto.

He has flown a little under the radar in terms of mainstream media attention, but the fact his music has been streamed over 1.6 billion times is decidedly impressive. Earlier EPs, mixtapes, and 2017 debut full-length Stay Less made the US R&B charts.

Kesha Brings 'Holiday Road' to The Billboard Canadian Hot 100

The newly independent pop singer's cover of Lindsay Buckingham's 1983 song from National Lampoon's Vacation was first released as a Spotify exclusive for the holidays. Michael Bublé's Christmas, meanwhile, remains at No. 1 on the Canadian Albums chart.

Kesha has brought an under-appreciated holiday gem back to the charts. Her version of "Holiday Road" debuts on this week's Billboard Canadian Hot 100 (dated Dec. 28, 2024) at No. 83.

"Holiday Road" was originally released in 1983 by Fleetwood Mac legend Lindsey Buckingham and serves as the propulsive opening theme to the Chevy Chase-starting classic comedy road trip film National Lampoon's Vacation.
