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.

Obituaries: Hit Songwriter Billy Steinberg, Streetheart Guitarist John Hannah, Festival Booker Randi Fratkin

This week we also acknowledge the passing of salsa pioneer Willie Colón.

John Hannah, a Scottish-Canadian guitarist and singer-songwriter best known as a member of Streetheart, died at his residence in Ayr, Scotland after a brief illness, on Feb. 20, at age 73.

On their website, Streetheart reported the news and noted that "John joined Streetheart in the fall of 1978 and was with the band until the early spring of 1981. John’s contribution to the Streetheart legacy during that time was most profound. Along with being an accomplished guitarist and singer, he was also a creative force, contributing to many of the classic Streetheart songs that remain as fan favourites today. 'Hollywood,' Trouble, and 'Drugstore Dancer' all feature John’s songwriting and playing skills and it is John who played the iconic guitar solo on Streetheart’s classic remake of The Rolling Stones’ 'Under My Thumb' in 1979."
