PartyNextDoor
It's a big week for Canadian releases. Neil Young & Crazy Horse debut FU###IN' UP, which includes live recordings from a secret show at Toronto's tiny Rivoli. Hip-hop veteran Classified has a new album, as do country riser MacKenzie Porter, indie singer-songwriter Ellis and Montreal barnburners Corridor.
Some notables announcing upcoming release dates include Ruth Moody, The Anti-Queens and Geoffroy.
Check the full calendar of upcoming albums below this week's album of the week pick.
Album of the Week: PartyNextDoor, PARTYNEXTDOOR 4
A keen sense of anticipation has built around the impending April 26 release of PARTYNEXTDOOR 4, the new album from the Mississauga artist/producer known as PartyNextDoor. He was the subject of a recent Billboard Canada digital cover story, and first single “Real Woman,” debuted on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 chart. PND has enjoyed major chart success via his work with such other artists as Rihanna (the chart-topping “Work”), Drake and DJ Khaled, but there are high hopes for his solo work PARTYNEXTDOOR. His mellow hip-hop inflected contemporary R&B sound and sparse production sound very fresh, so keep an eye on this one. One big highlight is slow and sweaty jam, “Lose My Mind.”
