VISSIA – The Cliffs

Release Date: March 5

Label: Hurry Hard Records

Anticipation has been building over the past several months for this Edmonton artist’s new album With Pleasure, which promises to see her evolve from a rootsy singer/songwriter to a genre-defying alt-pop auteur. The Cliffs shows VISSIA venturing into neo-soul territory, something that more than suits her seductive voice. Website. Stream here

Charlie Houston – Things

Release Date: March 5

Label: Arts & Crafts

This 20-year-old Toronto artist has been getting a lot of international attention since signing with the venerable Arts & Crafts label at the start of the year. With her debut EP I Hate Spring set to arrive April 23, she’s offering a preview with Things, an introspective downtempo track sure to appeal to fans of Charlotte Day Wilson and Empress Of.

Mighloe – Don’t Call Me

Release Date: March 12

Label: Public Records Inc.

With Don’t Call Me, Toronto R&B artist Mighloe makes an impressive debut, while sending an empowering message to women getting out of bad relationships. A graduate of The Remix Project, which helped launch the career of Jessie Reyez and others, Mighloe seems to have everything it takes to follow a similar trajectory. Her EP Desperate Times is out May 14. Instagram. Stream here

Great Lake Swimmers – Your Rocky Spine (Live)

Release Date: Feb. 25

Label: Weewerk

The inability to tour has affected all artists, with some filling the void with live albums. For the upcoming release Live At The Redeemer 2007, Great Lake Swimmers are revisiting the launch of their album Ongiara, recorded at Toronto’s Church of the Redeemer for CBC Radio. The full set will be available on the band’s Bandcamp page starting May 7, but you can get a preview now via this haunting rendition of one of their signature songs, Your Rocky Spine. Website.

The Dirty Nil – Elvis ‘77

Release Date: March 5

Label: Dine Alone

No one’s flying the rock and roll flag with more pride right now than Hamilton’s The Dirty Nil. Their new album Fuck Art is another tour de force of big riffs and catchy choruses, and its latest single Elvis ’77 is no exception. Although the song doesn’t actually have much to do with The King, its message, “Why didn’t you call your mama more,” is certainly a sentiment he would have endorsed. The fan-footage video is pretty fun too, with plenty of questionable Jackass-inspired antics. Website. Stream here.

Drake et Chris Brown dans le clip de « No Guidance »

Drake et Chris Brown feraient l'objet d'un autre procès pour violation de droits d'auteur concernant le tube de 2019 « No Guidance »

Après qu'une autre procédure a été abandonnée il y a deux ans, une nouvelle plainte allègue que la chanson viole les droits d'auteur de la chanson « I Got It » de Tykeiya (2016).

Drake pourrait avoir besoin de conseils dans le cadre d'un nouveau procès. La superstar canadienne est citée dans un procès aux côtés de Chris Brown, alléguant que leur tube de 2019 « No Guidance » copie un titre de 2016, « I Got It » de Tykeiya, comme l'a rapporté Music Business Worldwide. « No Guidance » a atteint la cinquième place du Billboard Hot 100 et s'est classé en tête de plusieurs classements tels que Hot R&B Songs et R&B/Hip-hop Airplay, tout en dépassant le milliard d'écoutes sur Spotify.

Les chanteurs ont déjà fait l'objet d'un procès qui a été abandonné en 2022, mais la nouvelle plainte provient d'autres parties. Tykeiya Dore et Marc Stephens poursuivent Drake, Brown et les autres auteurs de la chanson (Nija Charles, Michee Lebrun et Tyler Bryant) et producteurs (Anderson Hernandez, Joshua Huizar, Teddy Walton et Noah Shebib).
