Though she's still picking up awards and chart placements for her 2023 album 99 Nights, Charlotte Cardin is already looking at what’s next.

The Montreal-based singer-songwriter just released a new song titled “Lonely with Our Love," a prelude to surprise EP A Week in Nashville set to come out this Friday, May 17.


"Navigating distance has become an old acquaintance of mine, and I wrote this song at a moment where being in love felt perhaps lonelier than being alone," Cardin said about the song, a piano-led ballad, on social media.

Cardin wrote the song with Nashville musician Gabe Simon, who produced Noah Kahan's smash record Stick Season and has also worked with Dua Lipa, Lana Del Rey, and more. The song, recorded in a city famed for country music, contains glimpses of the genre in its heart-wrenching harmonies and tambourine flourishes.

The upcoming EP serves as Cardin’s second release since her critically acclaimed sophomore album, 99 Nights, following the EP Une Semaine à Paris last November. 99 Nights won the Juno for album of the year in March.

Executive of the Week: Justin West of Secret City Records on the Secrets of Independent Music Success​

The man behind one of Canada's most successful indie labels talks about the late-blooming success of French-language streaming record-holder Patrick Watson, why he builds long-term relationships with artists, and why it's important for the indie sector to work together.

Justin West is a leader and advocate in Canada’s independent music scene, but he didn’t plan it out that way. When he started his record label Secret City Records in Montreal in the mid-2000s, it was out of necessity. He had met an artist he loved and wanted to build a career with, and the label was a means to do it. That artist was Patrick Watson, and 20 years later he — and Secret City — are more successful than ever.

West — a multiple time Billboard Canada Power Player – leads one of the biggest indie labels in Canada while also advocating for the sector on multiple boards both locally and internationally. When we speak to him for this Executive of the Week interview, he’s just returned from Banff for the National Summit on Artificial Intelligence and Culture, and is a central figure in discussions around the Online Streaming Act and collective negotiations with online streaming platforms.
