Toronto Pianist Rea Beaumont Releases “Vancouver Vibe (Green Pieces)” From Enjoy The Journey Album

In 1964, the late Oscar Peterson released Canadiana Suite, an album based on a cross-Canada journey east to west that showed his love of the country through dazzling musicality. Now, 60 years later, Toronto pianist Rea Beaumont has crafted a very different ode, both to her homeland and life’s journey, with the lovely single “Vancouver Vibe (Green Pieces)” from her excellent new album Enjoy The Journey.

“‘Vancouver Vibe (Green Pieces)’ is an upbeat, energizing piece that is perfect for Vancouver, where so many people are active — walking, biking, hiking, jogging — enjoying the outdoors and its impressive natural beauty,” Beaumont says. “It’s stunning. It is peaceful, but there is also a vibrancy that comes from the energy of the city, which inspired ‘Vancouver Vibe.'”

Beaumont says “Vancouver Vibe (Green Pieces)” originated when the University of British Columbia Green College commissioned her to write a piece to celebrate the institution’s thirtieth anniversary. “The source of inspiration came from being back in Vancouver with the social energy of the people, at UBC where I completed my Graduate degrees, and in the Pacific Northwest surrounded by the stunning landscape,” Beaumont comments. She composed “Vancouver Vibe (Green Pieces)” in 2023 as the College’s inaugural Composer-In-Residence, which enabled her to have “the space, time and inspiration to write the music.” The title of this wonderfully crafted track pays tribute to the College and the ‘greenness’ of the environment.

The song’s bubbly, perky opening is light and busy all at once, almost exemplifying Vancouver and its residents to a tee. Beaumont slows things down slightly in the middle with some classical-leaning technique before building “Vancouver Vibe (Green Pieces)” back up for an engaging and moving homestretch. With no words, the song contains a joyous hustle and bustle flair highlighting Vancouver as “a gem in the Pacific Northwest” that Beaumont says has “simultaneously a peacefulness and a vibrancy.” Whether it’s various events, nightlife, the arts or the opportunities Mother Nature has placed in Vancouver for an “active lifestyle,” the single seems to capture that West Coast joie de vivre perfectly.

“Vancouver Vibe (Green Pieces)” is a single from Beaumont’s sixth album Enjoy The Journey. The album takes people from the Pacific Northwest to Atlantic Canada while reminding the listener that, like travel, life is a journey and one should be wise to enjoy all that it has to offer. Enjoy The Journey features both solo and chamber compositions by Beaumont while featuring guest violinist Christopher Verrette, best known as a member of Tafelmusik. It also features French-Canadian folksongs such as “En Roulant Ma Boule” which dates back to the Canadian fur trade when voyageurs sang the song while rowing great lengths. In addition to the three-piece Green Pieces set (consisting of “Vancouver Vibe,” “Mountain Morning,” and “Western Waters”), the album closes with the gorgeous four-part set entitled Time Will Tell (“Chasing Time,” “Time For Now,” “Embracing Time” and the moving “Tranquil Time”) that demonstrates how precious life and time are.

The single and album are the latest offering from Beaumont whose previous works include albums Awaken (2022), Liquid (2021), Timeless (2018), A Conversation Piece (2014), Creating A Landscape (2009) and A Shrinking Planet (2006). A faculty member at the University of Toronto, Beaumont received the SOCAN Foundation/MusCan Award of Excellence for the Advancement of Research in Canadian Music. Having premiered over 80 works, the pianist trained with Anton Kuerti, Robert Silverman and Menahem Pressler, among others, and studied composition with Phil Nimmons, Edward Laufer, Dr. Samuel Dolin and Gustav Ciamaga. Beaumont is also well known for her volunteer work and community service, and for promoting Canadian culture at home and internationally.

Now with “Vancouver Vibe (Green Pieces)” and a new album Enjoy The Journey, look for Rea Beaumont to make inroads from coast to coast to coast with this dazzling single that pays tribute to Vancouver, its proud residents and anyone else on life’s journey.

Vancouver Folk Pop Duo FOCUS YOUR AUDIO Releases “The Long Goodbye”

Vancouver Folk Pop Duo FOCUS YOUR AUDIO Releases “The Long Goodbye”

There are times in one’s life when you realize life is precious, time is precious, and memories, despite illnesses that can make them disappear, can last forever. For Vancouver-Based duo Focus Your Audio — Bobcaygeon, Ontario singer Sarah Stewart and Coquitlam, BC musician Bobby McAloney — those feelings are vividly captured in the hauntingly precious single “The Long Goodbye.” It’s a gorgeous, tear-inducing effort detailing the topic of dementia and how difficult it is to see loved ones gradually slip away.

Although universal in its empathy, Stewart says the song was inspired by her nursing career and meeting a special elderly woman who was diagnosed w progressive dementia. “’The Long Goodbye’ was written about an incredible woman, someone whose details I didn’t want to lose,” she says. “This song was based on a single mother who beat all odds, attended medical school in the ’60s, and went on to have an incredible impact on the world around her.”

Stewart says while caring for the woman, the woman’s daughter said something that deeply hit a nerve. “‘I don’t think I’ll be able to handle it when my mother won’t remember my name; I guess that’s why they call it the long goodbye,'” Stewart recalled the daughter saying. “It was at that moment that I was hit in the chest with layers of gravity. I instantly said to myself, ‘I’m going to write a song about this, and ‘The Long Goodbye’ was born.”

“The Long Goodbye,” produced and engineered by Mike Young best known as Mother Mother’s bassist, came to life when Stewart’s lyrics melded perfectly with a “beautiful piece of instrumental music” McAloney had. The sparse instrumentation features primarily Stewart’s hauntingly beautiful vocals, McAloney on acoustic guitar, and cellist Peggy Lee adding more gravitas to the already poignant, moving single. Fans of Sarah McLachlan, Allison Moorer, or Shawn Colvin would find this barren but blissful single a keeper.

“When the lyrics were written, the merriment of that and the music left us with a gift that was meant to be shared with others,” Stewart says of “The Long Goodbye” which was written by Stewart and McAloney in West Vancouver and recorded at Vancouver’s Studio Y and Hipposonic Recording Studio. “Every time I listen to this song, it’s like the first time. I go through all of the emotions of watching loved ones empty themselves over and over again in the walking out of their own long goodbye.”

“The Long Goodbye” is the latest single for a duo who have made inroads in Vancouver music circles and the Canadian music scene. “When you strip it all away, we’re two people who fell madly in love through the process of creating music and have never looked back,” McAloney says of his partnership with Stewart.

In 2019 Focus Your Audio released their debut EP and have released successful singles ever since. Collectively their singles “Shades,” “Over There” and “On Your Own” have amassed over 300,000 streams and have had songs on the Netflix film The Half Of It Spotify playlist. “On Your Own” also garnered global attention when Swedish DJ/record producer StoneBridge (Ne-Yo, Beyonce) remixed the single featured on StoneBridge’s SiriusXM BPM Mix channel. Publications such as Canadian Music Week, The Georgia Straight, and Aesthetic Magazine have all highlighted Focus Your Audio. And they’ve shared the stage with Tobias The Owl, Samantha Martin, and Delta Sugar, among others, while performing at Vancouver’s The Railway Club and Calgary’s Ironwood Stage.

Now with the single “The Long Goodbye” (and a music video created by Quest Coast Studios for the song), Focus Your Audio are set to pull at your heartstrings with this memorable, emotional song. Although Focus Your Audio didn’t tell the family of the woman they wrote or recorded the song, “The Long Goodbye” will resonate with anyone who has a heart. “When we perform this song live, the room goes quiet, and we can see tears in the audience’s eyes,” Stewart says. “We know they’re relating it to their own lives.”

The Limits of Oral Vitamin C

High doses of oral Vitamin C can irritate the stomach, and your body can only absorb a small percentage before the rest is excreted. For example, taking a 1,000 mg Vitamin C tablet might result in only 200-300 mg being absorbed into your bloodstream.

  3. Skin Health: Vitamin C promotes collagen production for a radiant complexion.

How to Write a Script for a Music Video: A Step-by-Step Guide

By Mitch Rice

If you’ve ever been captivated by a music video that seamlessly marries visuals with sound, you’ve likely witnessed the power of a well-written script. While music videos often feel spontaneous and artistic, their success is rooted in detailed planning. Writing a script for a music video involves creative storytelling, practical logistics, and a deep understanding of the song’s mood and message. Whether you’re working on a big-budget production or a DIY passion project, this guide will help you craft a music video script that hits all the right notes.

Step 1: Understand the Song

Before writing anything, immerse yourself in the music. Listen to the song repeatedly and pay close attention to its lyrics, rhythm, and overall vibe. Ask yourself:

  • What emotions does this song evoke?
  • Are there recurring themes or motifs in the lyrics?
  • Does the song tell a story, or is it more abstract?

Jot down your impressions and brainstorm initial ideas. Some music videos follow a narrative that mirrors the song’s lyrics, while others create an entirely separate visual world to complement the sound. Your goal is to identify the song’s core essence and use it as the foundation of your script.

Step 2: Choose a Concept

Once you have a grasp of the song’s essence, it’s time to develop a concept. Think of this as the big idea or vision for the video. Here are a few common approaches to consider:

  • Narrative: Tell a story that aligns with the song’s lyrics or mood. For example, a love song might feature a couple navigating pivotal moments in their relationship.
  • Performance: Focus on the artist performing the song, either in a stylized setting or onstage.
  • Abstract: Use symbolic or experimental visuals that evoke the song’s mood without following a traditional story.
  • Hybrid: Combine elements of narrative, performance, and abstract visuals for a layered and dynamic video.

Write down a short description of your concept. This will serve as your guiding idea throughout the scripting process.

Step 3: Break the Song Into Sections

Music videos are often divided into sections based on the song’s structure. Most songs include verses, choruses, and a bridge, each with its own rhythm and energy. Breaking the song into these parts allows you to plan corresponding visuals for each section.

For instance, you might decide that the verses will focus on a character’s journey, while the choruses cut to the artist performing the song. Use the bridge as an opportunity for a dramatic or unexpected shift in the visuals. This segmented approach ensures that your video feels dynamic and engaging from start to finish.

Step 4: Create a Storyboard

With your concept and song breakdown in mind, start outlining your script visually. A storyboard is a series of sketches or descriptions that map out each shot in the video. You don’t need to be an artist—simple stick figures and notes will do.

For example:

  • Opening Scene (0:00–0:15): A wide shot of the artist walking down a deserted street at sunrise.
  • Verse 1 (0:16–0:45): Close-up shots of the artist’s face as they sing, interspersed with scenes of a couple arguing in a dimly lit room.
  • Chorus (0:46–1:00): A dramatic shift to bright, outdoor scenes with the artist singing on a hilltop.

Storyboarding helps you visualize the flow of the video and identify the shots you’ll need to capture.

Step 5: Write the Script

Once your storyboard is in place, it’s time to put it into words. Writing a script for a music video is different from writing a traditional screenplay, but many of the same principles apply. If you’re new to this process, tools that help you write a screenplay can provide valuable support for proper formatting and effective storytelling.

Here’s what to include in your music video script:

  • Scene Descriptions: Detail the location, lighting, and overall mood of each scene.
  • Actions: Describe what the characters or performers are doing in each shot.
  • Camera Directions: Specify angles, movements, or special effects if needed (e.g., “close-up of the artist’s hand strumming the guitar”).
  • Timing: Indicate which part of the song corresponds to each scene.

Keep your descriptions concise but vivid. The goal is to create a clear roadmap for everyone involved in the production.

Step 6: Collaborate and Refine

Once your script is written, share it with the key members of your team, such as the director, cinematographer, and artist. Their feedback can help you refine the script and ensure it’s both creative and practical.

Ask for input on whether the visuals align with the song’s tone and whether the proposed shots are feasible given the budget and resources. Be open to suggestions and willing to adapt your vision to suit the needs of the production.

Step 7: Prepare for Production

With your script finalized, it’s time to move into the production phase. Use your script and storyboard as a reference to create a detailed shot list and schedule. This will keep the shoot organized and ensure you capture everything you need.

It’s also a good idea to scout locations, gather props, and assemble a crew before filming begins. A well-prepared team can bring your script to life with minimal hiccups.

Conclusion

Writing a script for a music video is both an art and a science. By starting with a deep understanding of the song and building a clear vision through storyboarding and scripting, you can create a video that resonates with audiences and elevates the music it accompanies. Whether you’re crafting a heartfelt narrative or an avant-garde visual masterpiece, the process requires creativity, collaboration, and attention to detail.

Now, grab your pen, hit play on your favorite track, and let the storytelling begin!

My Next Read: “Tell It Like It Is: My Story” By Aaron Neville

For the first time, legendary singer and songwriter and Grammy Hall-of-Famer Aaron Neville tells his personal story of overcoming poverty, racism, addiction, and loss through faith, family, and music.

Aaron Neville’s first #1 hit, “Tell It Like it Is,” was released in 1966. In the mid-70s he formed the Neville Brothers with Art, Charles, and Cyril—now known as the “First Family of New Orleans”—and they released more than a dozen influential albums. Given his one-of-a-kind, soaring falsetto, Aaron was the breakout star, and over the next six decades, he had four platinum albums, three  #1 songs, numerous film and television appearances, and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2014. His triple-platinum duets with Linda Ronstadt (including the Grammy-Award-winning hit “I Don’t Know Much”) showcased the softer side of his voice, and the smoking hot funky soul of the Neville Brothers cemented his legacy as an R&B legend.

But few people know the challenging and circuitous road Aaron took to fame. Born in a housing project in New Orleans of Black and Native American heritage, Aaron struggled as a teenage father working to raise a family while building his career as a musician, surviving a stint in jail for car theft and many years battling heroin addiction.

​Recognized by the dagger tattoo on his cheek and his St. Jude medallion earring, Neville credits St. Jude—the patron saint of lost cases—for turning his life around. He found healing and salvation in music. Aaron Neville is a man who by all accounts should not have made it. Tell It Like It Is shares his story for the first time.

Pouya Announces ‘They Could Never Make Me’ Tour

Pouya Announces ‘They Could Never Make Me’ Tour

Today, Pouya announced his ‘THEY COULD NEVER MAKE ME’ 2025 tour. Produced by Live Nation, the 35-city tour kicks off on February 25 at The Beacham in Orlando, FL making stops across the U.S. in Houston, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, and more before wrapping up in Atlanta, GA at Buckhead Theatre on April 24.

Tickets will be available starting with an Artist presale beginning on Tuesday, November 12. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general onsale beginning on Friday, November 15 at 10AM local time at LiveNation.com

Pouya broke through with the Baby Bone EP highlight “Get Buck,” a track so unrelenting and combative that it lacked space for a hook. The title of its 2013 parent release referred to the rapper’s nickname and love for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.

While the influence of that pioneering melodic rap group can be sensed throughout Pouya’s discography, the Miami native’s highly personal and creative lyricism, combined with his easy adaptability to the wildly varying approaches of his producers, have made him stand out all along. From 2016 through 2018, Pouya’s Underground Underdog, Drop Out of School (with Fat Nick), and Five Five each hit Billboard charts, a period during which the rapper also scored with the Ghostemane collaboration “1000 Rounds.” By the time that single went gold, in 2021, Pouya’s catalog had expanded with additional independent projects such as The South Got Something to Say and Blood Was Never Thick as Water. Born and raised in Miami, Kevin Pouya started recording in his late teens, forming a duo with childhood friend Fat Nick dubbed the Buffet Boys. Pouya’s first couple mixtapes were released in 2012.

The EP Baby Bone arrived the next year, and with it came “Get Buck,” which multiplied his audience by a high factor. Pouya responded with another EP, Gookin’, recorded with the Cool Kids’ Sir Michael Rocks. After a clutch of EPs and tapes that included South Side Suicide (with Suicideboys), Pouya went on something of a commercial hot streak. In 2016, Underground Underdog became his first of three recordings to register on Billboard’s Independent Albums chart, and it also cracked the Billboard 200.

Drop Out of School and Five Five entered the independent chart over the next couple years, and it was during this time that the non-album single “1000 Rounds” — a duo cut with Ghostemane — became one of Pouya’s career high points. Retaining his artistic independence and regional pride, Pouya in 2019 offered The South Got Something to Say, his third official album, containing the chest-rattling Juicy J collaboration “Six Speed,” and the likes of Ghostemane and Rocci among the other featured artists. A sequel to Drop Out of School was among Pouya’s 2020 output. The next year brought Blood Was Never Thick as Water. The rapper’s fourth album balanced atmospheric tracks such as “Walk In” and “Leave Me Alone” with rumblerslike “Wig Split,” featuring Denzel Curry. The four-years-old “1000 Rounds” was certified gold that October. Pouya would later release his fifth studio album in 2023 called “Gator” whichfeatured Yung Gravy and Ramirez. In 2024 he would go on the “Greyday Tour” with the Suicideboys and was one of the direct supporters on the tour. His sixth studio album, “They Could Never Make Me Hate You”, released in August which has led to the announcement of his 2025 tour “They Could Never Make Me Tour” with Freddie Dredd.

Movements Announce 2025 North American Tour

Today, Movements announced their 2025 North American Tour, joined by special guests Citizen, Scowl, and Downward. Produced by Live Nation, the 24-city tour kicks off on March 1 at Marquee Theatre in Tempe, AZ making stops across North America in Atlanta, Toronto, Brooklyn, Detroit, Chicago, and more before wrapping up in Los Angeles at The Torch at the LA Coliseum on April 6.

Tickets will be available starting with Artist presale beginning on Tuesday, November 12. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general onsale beginning on Friday, November 15 at 10AM Local Time at LiveNation.com.

It’s been a whirlwind few years for Movements as evidenced by the fact that band’s 2020 album No Good Left to Give debuted at #3 on the Alternative chart and their streams have doubled since then with 300 million total streams in the U.S. alone. However, despite their success, the Southern Californian act have constantly reinvented themselves since forming in 2015 and the band’s third full-length RUCKUS! sees the post-hardcore quartet taking their sound to expansive and sometimes unexpected places. Produced by longtime collaborator Will Yip (Circa Survive, Code Orange), the album fuses post-hardcore and punk influences with a healthy dose of pop songcraft to create an album that defies scene conventions in favor of something wholly unique. In order to accomplish this, the band made three extended trips to Yip’s Studio 4 in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, to write and record the collection of songs that would end up as RUCKUS! “I truly don’t believe that it could have been a more streamlined process and I don’t think we’ve ever written music that’s as good as what we put together for this record,” Miranda explains. RUCKUS! sees the band integrating decidedly different influences such as Gorillaz and Strokes into their sound to challenge people’s preconceptions.

NoCap Unveils Before I Disappear Again Tour

Multi-Platinum maverick rapper NoCap has announced plans for a major US tour – his biggest headline run to date. Produced by Live Nation, the Before I Disappear Again Tour gets underway January 18, 2025 at Miami, FL’s Jackie Gleason Theater then travels through late February. Highlights include eagerly awaited stops at Atlanta, GA’s Tabernacle (January 23), New York City’s Irving Plaza (February 1), Chicago, IL’s House of Blues (February 5), Los Angeles, CA’s The Belasco (February 20), and San Francisco, CA’s The Fillmore (February 21).

General onsale begins on Friday, November 1, at 10:00 am (local). For complete details and ticket information, please visit www.nocap.com/tour.

The Before I Disappear Again Tour sees NoCap – who is also among the top-billed rap stars performing at the 107.5 WGCI Big Jam, set for Chicago, IL’s Wintrust Arena on Saturday, December 7 – celebrating the release earlier this year of his acclaimed second studio album, Before I Disappear Again, available everywhere now via Atlantic Records HERE. The album – which debuted at #2 on Billboard’s “Top Rap Albums” and #3 on “Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums” charts along with a top 20 debut on the overall Billboard 200 – includes such hit singles as “Maliboo,” “Yacht Party,” and “Baby Drake,” all joined by official music videos boasting over 10M combined views at YouTube.

Similar to paint splattered on a canvas, NoCap splashes all of his pain, anxiety, stress, trouble, trauma, and truth onto the beat. Instead of manically utilizing a brush, he freestyles off the top of his head, channeling emotion too intense to overthink. The Multi-Platinum Mobile, AL maverick rapper and singer synthesizes melody out of discord and darkness, resonating on an intimate level with fans worldwide. Carving out a place of his own in the culture, his songs have stuck to a generation. He sent shockwaves through the game with a pair of RIAA Platinum-certified singles, “Ghetto Angels” and “Vaccine,” as well as a string of celebrated mixtapes including 2019’s The Backend Child (2019), The Hood Dictionary (2019), and Steel Human (2020). He catapulted into the Top 5 of Billboard’s “Top R&B Hip-Hop Albums” and “Top Rap Albums” charts in addition to crashing the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 with his full-length debut LP, Mr. Crawford (2022). NoCap further showed out on such Gold-certified bangers as Lil Baby’s “Dreams 2 Reality,” Quando Rondo’s “New Ones” (with), and Youngboy Never Broke Again’s “Outta Here Safe,” as well as his Billboard “Hot 100” debut, Rylo Rodriguez’s “Thang For You.” Receiving tastemaker praise, The FADER applauded his “teeth-gritting images of struggle,” and Pitchfork hailed his music as “both deeply personal and invitingly vague, somber and triumphant in equal measure.” Stacking up hundreds of millions of streams and views, selling out shows, and notching widespread acclaim, NoCap returned in 2024 with Before I Disappear Again, cutting deep and unearthing more of himself than ever before.

“I’m growing up,” says NoCap. “I could be a different man in 2025. I’m just always trying to be a better artist. People don’t get to see a lot of me, but they do see me through my music. My fans will hear how I’m changing, and they’re with me. They’re moving as I move, because I’m never going to stop growing and learning.”
