Drake Announces 2024 ‘It’s All A Blur Tour – Big As The What?’ With J. Cole

Today, four-time Grammy-award winning and multi-platinum selling artist Drake announced his 2024 U.S. It’s All A Blur Tour – Big As The What?, presented by Cash App and Visa. Grammy-award winning artist, producer and founder of Dreamville, J. Cole, will be joining Drake across many of the dates on the 2024 run. Produced by Live Nation, Drake and J. Cole will kick off the arena run with back-to-back shows in Denver at Ball Arena on Thursday, January 18 and Friday, January 19, before making additional stops in Oklahoma City, New Orleans, Nashville, St. Louis, Columbus, Memphis, and more; wrapping up on Wednesday, March 27 in Birmingham at BJCC’s own Legacy Arena.

It’s All A Blur Tour – Big As The What? follows Drake’s highly successful return to the stage with his 2023 ‘It’s All A Blur’ Tour, which saw Drake play 50 sold-out arena shows across North America throughout the summer and fall. Most recently, Drake released his eighth studio album, For All The Dogs via OVO Sound and Republic Records.

Drake is a Grammy Award-winning, platinum-selling recording artist and multi-faceted performer. Canadian born, the hip hop artist first emerged in the music industry in 2009 when he debuted his EP So Far Gone, named the hottest mixtape of the year by MTV and selling over 650,000 copies. Fast forward to 2018, Drake dropped the platinum double LP, Scorpion which included a staggering 25 tracks. Succeeding the album’s release, Drake hit the road headlining the U.S. tour Aubrey & the Three Migos, which featured surprise guests like Meek Mill, French Montana, and Travis Scott among many others. Over the last five years, Drake has focused on the development and creation of his music, leading to some of his most praised work. Topping the U.S. charts in August of 2019, Drake released Care Package, his first compilation album that consists of songs from 2010 to 2016 that weren’t initially available for commercial streaming. In September of 2021, Drake released his most highly anticipated album yet titled, Certified Lover Boy. CLB marked his sixth studio album and broke Apple Music’s one-day streaming record in just under 12 hours. Leading into Summer of 2022, Drake surprised fans with his seventh studio album, Honestly Nevermind which includes a notable feature from 21 Savage. Drake and 21 Savage’s collaborative studio album titled, Her Loss quickly followed with its debut in November of 2022. The album reached number one on the Billboard’s 200 chart and all 16 songs debuted on Billboard’s Hot 100 list. Most recently, Drake released his eighth studio album, For All The Dogs via OVO Sound and Republic Records.

Victoria Houser Unveils Poignant Tribute To East Canadian Roots In ‘By the Ocean’ From New EP ‘Somewhere Close To Home’

Toronto-based Singer-songwriter Victoria Houser showcases her superb storytelling once more in her new single “By the Ocean” from her new EP Somewhere Close To Home.

The song is an ode to her East Canadian roots and explores the magic of her upbringing in the coastal town of Hubbards, Nova Scotia. Each verse pays homage to a member of her family and the crucial role they played in her early life.

“My family and the vibrant tales of our home served as the heartbeat behind ‘By the Ocean.’ Each verse encapsulates the essence of one of them; my mom, my dad, my two sisters, and my brother, all of whom played roles in shaping who I am.”

For Houser, now based in Toronto, ON, writing the song was second nature, and the words “poured out effortlessly, resonating with my deep connection to home.” The song is a thank-you to the people and the memories that made Houser who she is today.

Not only do Houser’s carefully crafted lyrics reflect the tranquility of her hometown and the comfort of family life, but the musical composition itself—a clever blend of folk, roots, and country—further envelopes the listener in the sounds of the coast. Blended with Houser’s warm voice and authentic narrative, the song transports us into a peaceful, seaside life.

“The musical arrangements in ‘By the Ocean’ sought to echo the coastal melodies of my childhood, serenading listeners with the sounds of my home,” Houser says.

“By the Ocean” is Houser’s second single from her new EP, Somewhere Close to Home. The album’s title is derived from a lyric of “By the Ocean”: “In my final resting place / Please lay me somewhere close to home / Near the singing of the waves.”

The title, lovingly chosen by Houser, “mirrors the emotional compass guiding these four tracks—a longing for the sanctuary of home, whether it’s the serene coastal vibes of Nova Scotia or the nostalgic comfort found in the company of dear friends and lovers.”

The second single comes on the heels of Houser’s heart wrenching “When You’re Sober,” an upbeat, unusually melancholic, and infectious track about the turmoil of a failing relationship.

“Every song on Somewhere Close to Home carries a piece of my story, inspired by moments of joy, heartache, and the intricate threads that connect us to our roots,” Houser says. “By the Ocean” is no exception, and the earnest new single wraps listeners in the luxury of coming home.

Dracula Jackson “Dreams” Up Pop-Rock Magic On New Single

Dracula Jackson “Dreams” Up Pop-Rock Magic On New Single

Did you ever have a dream that stuck with you so doggedly and irresistibly that you began to question your hold on reality itself? That’s the kind of experience Dracula Jackson – a.k.a. Annapolis singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Sean Jackson – has conjured up with “Dreams,” the haunting new single from his most recent album, Shadows of a Ghost.

An arresting alt-pop number with the persistence of a particularly turbulent night, “Dreams” takes hold of your waking brain and won’t let go. Supple acoustic guitar and delicate piano mesh perfectly over simple yet insistent drumming, providing a firm bed for Jackson’s plaintive, ethereal vocal lines. The echoey, late-night vibe of the production keeps his voice in the eerie near-distance as he repeats lines so poetic in their minimalism that they practically become a mantra:

I can’t fall asleep
I think about you
I think about you
A secret that I keep
I think about you
I think about you
A cascade of multi-tracked vocals rings in the chorus, as the words become a hymn to disorientation:
And it’s all in my dreams
I know it’s a sin, but I don’t know where to begin
And it’s all in my dreams
Just give me a sign so I know you weren’t a dream

Jackson says he meant for the song to convey “an unexpected encounter with a stranger in the night,” accompanying the narrator on “a journey whose destination is unclear. Did it happen? Was it real? Maybe the dream itself is more important than the truth.”

The truth about Jackson is that he’s a major talent on multiple fronts. Following the example of one of his idols, Prince, he’s practically a one-man band on record: “Dreams,” like the other eight tracks on Shadows of a Ghost, showcases his skills on drums, bass and guitar, at the keyboard, and of course behind the mic. (Co-producer and co-engineer Chris Seaton, a friend of Jackson’s since childhood, plays steel guitar on the new single, as well as Mellotron and synth elsewhere on the album.)

But the late Minneapolis wonder is hardly the only touchstone for Jackson’s output. On the writing front, he’s been influenced by everyone from The Beatles to The Smiths to Interpol. Real life, though, is reliably his greatest muse, with his work across several albums acting as a kind of diary of his personal journey through love, loss, longing and finally love again. (With his wife, Laura Brino, he performs in their act Lily and the Pearl.)

While he’s only been recording under the Dracula Jackson moniker for two years, this reliably prolific artist has been performing since the age of 15 and had recorded two full albums of original material by the time he was old enough to vote. Shadows of a Ghost combines new material and previously unreleased tracks from what’s already been a near-career’s worth of activity, forming what Jackson calls “a virtual scrapbook of memories.” One listen to “Dreams,” and you’ll have a new memory for of your own.

Collette Cooper Presents: DARKSIDE OF CHRISTMAS Chapters 1 & 2

Collette Cooper Presents: DARKSIDE OF CHRISTMAS Chapters 1 & 2

Following on from 2022’s impactful Darkside of Christmas Chapter 1, Collette Cooper, known for her individual, unmistakable voice returns this festive season with Darkside of Christmas Chapter 2 (Thelonious Punk Records.)

Reflecting the current political and social environment caused by the impact of national and global events, Darkside Of Christmas Chapters 1 & 2 takes a more poignant approach to the seasonal album, aiming to recognise the recent difficulties that have been felt by many around the world, touching on themes of love, loss and empathy, tied together with wry wit, edgy humour and outstanding musicianship.

While the theme may at first appear saturnine, Darkside Of Christmas’ ultimate sentiment is an uplifting feeling of spirituality and hope, laced with a devil-may-care party spirit designed to unify those who feel that the hour of ‘forced fun’ is upon them. Songs such as ‘Run Santa Baby’, sees old Saint Nick feeling the pinch of frostbite, while Cooper’s rendition of ‘What A Wonderful World’ (recorded live in one take) sails over the sound of an old honky-tonk piano with the odd broken key, conjuring the essence of a singalong around the fire after a few too many glasses of Christmas spirit.

A more personal sentiment is projected on the original track ‘Another Day’ – dedicated to Collette’s best friend Claire Bonham, who unexpectedly passed away in March 2020 (the last time they spent time together was New Year’s Day 2020), while the classic jazz standard ‘It Ain’t Necessarily So’ is given a unique treatment with the addition of the melody from ‘Carol Of The Bells’.

The final jewel in the crown is the addition of legendary British actor Ray Winstone, who introduces the album by reciting a compelling, original poem by Collette Cooper, setting the tone for what is to come.

Chapter 2 opens with another Cooper-penned poem, this time recited by award winning, gritty British actor, Maxine Peake to start the haunting original composition ‘When the Snow Falls’.

Chapter 2 sees Cooper reinvent her single from 2020, Lost Soul, with a gospel inflected a cappella opening followed by a full-on funk-blues experience entitled Lost Soul (Piece of Mind).

The final new track ends the project like it began with Cooper’s unique take on an old Carol, this time being ‘Coventry Carol’ whose theme of war and strife is a chilling echo of today’s headlines and given that it was recorded in September it is an eerie example of art predicting life.

Said Collette: ‘A lot of love, blood, sweat, tears, and snow has gone into this album.’

Recorded at Abbey Road and Dean Street Studios, (Collette’s body of work is mostly recorded live in one or two takes) with original artwork by the acclaimed photographer Rankin, Darkside Of Christmas Chapters 1 & 2 is a distinctive and stylish work, destined to indulge all of this years’ Scrooges and maybe a few Tiny Tim’s for good measure!

Sweet Sounds Return: Calgary’s Beloved Children’s Jazz Artist MUSIC WITH MANDY Unveils ‘Sugar Rush’

Calgary-based Music with Mandy, the charming children’s jazz artist, is back with her latest single, “Sugar Rush.” Mandy Morris, the creative force behind Music with Mandy, weaves her magic with warm vocals and light-hearted compositions.

The inception of “Sugar Rush” in April 2020 coincided with a moment of uncertainty. It unfolded when Mandy faced a temporary halt in the production of her previous album, “From My Head to My Toes.” Undeterred, Mandy, was determined to turn a setback into something sweet, as she collaborated with the imaginative 7-year-old prodigy, Graham Smart, over Zoom. Together, they crafted a musical tale centred around the irresistible allure of candy, inviting listeners on a whimsical adventure into a candy store filled with sugary delights.

Performed at various festivals, “Sugar Rush” captures the essence of boredom, hyperactivity, and a sugar crash, creating a delicious treat for audiences of all ages. Mandy’s bright performances bring the lyrics to life, with kids in the audience mirroring the story’s emotions.

Mandy is passionate about connecting children and their families with music, and “Sugar Rush” is another of her stories through song that helps young children navigate their emotions indulging in a music high that lingers long after the last note fades away.

JUNO Award Nominee Jazz Singer/Songwriter ALEX BIRD Caps 2023 with 100,000 Streams

Alex Bird is a JUNO nominated jazz singer, songwriter and actor in Toronto, ON. Alex and his band “The Jazz Mavericks” are working on an entirely new chapter of the Great American Songbook; they are pushing the boundaries of a beautiful tradition and bringing it into a new era. Bird’s original debut album “Whisky Kisses” (Oct 2020) received reviews, awards, airplay, and distribution around the world.

Following that momentum, Bird and The Jazz Mavericks released their second album, “You Are the Light and the Way” (Nov 2021). Bird and songwriting partner Ewen Farncombe wrote 12 new originals, and the album was recently nominated for Best Vocal Jazz Album at the JUNO Awards (2022). The album was made possible thanks to the generosity of the Canada Council for the Arts.

Alex Bird and the Jazz Mavericks are quickly becoming an in-demand band.

Alex literally grew up with the classics. As a young boy he was taken to hang around the Toronto Jazz scene, and had the opportunity to see and meet many of the greats along the way; Tony Bennett, Diana Krall, Ray Brown, Oscar Peterson, Mel Tormé, Ray Charles…the list goes on. Without even knowing it, his musical training developed, sitting around at smoky Jazz clubs into the wee small hours of the morning.

From One Legend To Another: Jay Douglas Pays Resounding Tribute to Dennis Brown with ‘The World Is Troubled’

In a world where treasured vocalists are born, covering a legend’s classic isn’t for the weak. More so a recreation of Dennis Brown’s reggae classic– an artist once christened by Bob Marley as one of the greatest reggae singers out there. And yet Jay Douglas’ re-embodiment of “The World Is Troubled” is a timely homage to the original.

Toronto-based singer, Douglas comes full circle with this new release, since first taking on the stage in Jamaica years ago as a teenager. From that point, the JUNO-nominated and award-winning Canadian Reggae icon has found a lane in the fusion of a wide-variety American repertoire that includes Jazz, West Indian rhythm, and blues. Where he remains an underrated, multitalented, and legendary artisan.

Douglas shares what every person could wonder– recording Dennis Brown’s archetypal song.

“I’ve always been a big fan of Dennis Brown and his music,” he says. “The Crown Prince of Reggae was a kind man who would give you his last dollar if he saw you needed it. He had a great R&B style and did wonderful renditions of many Rhythm and Blues classics like Ben E. King’s “Spanish Harlem”.”

This latest single “The World Is Troubled” from Douglas is a reflection of what humanity has metamorphosed into. The singer interpolates the original song’s message of “the world is troubled, but not the people of this world.”

Especially highlighting these specific lyrics, ‘The world is troubled and living ain’t easy’. What are we doing for our grandchildren, the next generation?”

The remake features conscious artist Tasha T, who has vowed to keep targeted messages in her music. At just the 2:00 mark on the song, Toronto-based singer, Tasha readies herself to deliver powerful vocals as she sings, “I wonder if you know what is going on every day, so much to do and so much to say.” She continues to assert herself, “Let them not set us apart, the greed is tearing us apart.”

Jay Douglas reached out to Kingston-born drummer Lowell Fillmore, known by his moniker Sly Dunbar to collaborate with on the song. “He said he was on the original track,” he explains “so he got together the same guys that recorded the original.”

Douglas continues to inspire and enthrall audiences with his gift ever since debuting over 45 years ago. In “The World Is Troubled,” the continued attempt to impart imperative messages to listeners is achieved so well. The spiritedness from the musical production is felt and will motivate listeners to make a change.

The Rolling Stones Singles 1966-1971 Vinyl Set Coming February 2, 2024

The Rolling Stones Singles 1966-1971 Vinyl Set Coming February 2, 2024

ABKCO Records will release The Rolling Stones Singles 1966-1971 on February 2. The limited-edition set includes reproductions of 18 7” vinyl singles and extended play records by “The World’s Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Band,” as originally released by Decca, London Records and ABKCO Records. The collection serves as a second volume and companion to The Rolling Stones Singles 1963-1966 (ABKCO, 2022). All tracks were remastered by 13-time Grammy Award-winning engineer Bob Ludwig, and the discs are manufactured by Third Man Pressing in Detroit. The set, replete with period-correct picture sleeve art, will also come with a 32-page book containing extensive liner notes by Stones authority Nigel Williamson, as well as rare photos and ephemera, plus a set of five photo cards and a poster, all housed in a hard-shell box.

The Rolling Stones Singles 1966-1971 spans a crucial period in the band’s evolution, when their move towards the experimental and psychedelic sounds of “We Love You” and “She’s a Rainbow” gave way to the rootsy, blues-based rock of “Honky Tonk Women” and “Wild Horses.” Also during this time, guitarist/founding member Brian Jones was replaced by Mick Taylor – the first lineup change since the group’s founding. Amidst the stylistic shifts and tumult between ’66 and ’71, the Stones racked up seven Top 10 singles on both sides of the Atlantic, including four Number Ones.

“Paint It, Black” topped the charts internationally in 1966. Its eerie tone and sitar line played by Brian Jones sounded nothing like what the band had previously recorded. Singles 1966-1971 contains both the US and UK versions of the 45; the latter’s B-side “Long Long While” is a rare non-LP track. Other rare B-sides in the set include “Who’s Driving Your Plane” from the US Top 10 hit “Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In The Shadow?,” and “Child Of The Moon” from UK #1 “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.” Stones collectors will also take satisfaction in the mono mixes of “We Love You” and its flipside “Dandelion” (1967), which both contain a reprise at the end with an ode to the other track. These are both exclusive to the single release.

Released in August 1968, the picture sleeve for the “Street Fighting Man”/”No Expectations” single depicts protestors being brutalized by police. After the Chicago Police Department ravaged anti-war protestors outside the Democratic National Convention later that same month, the Stones’ US label withdrew the single, making it one of the most sought-after collector’s items in the band’s canon. The Rolling Stones Singles 1966-1971collection faithfully reproduces that controversial record art, and also includes the 1971 UK maxi-single version of “Street Fighting Man,” with “Surprise Surprise” and “Everybody Needs Somebody To Love.” While not technically a Rolling Stones song, Mick Jagger’s “Memo From Turner” from the Performance soundtrack is included. Originally released as a single in 1970, the song features slide guitar by Ry Cooder, and its B-side “Natural Magic” is a Cooder instrumental.

While every track on The Rolling Stones 1966-1971 box set was recorded in the time frame suggested by its title, some of the records were originally released later. “I Don’t Know Why,” “Out Of Time” and the stereo mix of the 1969 #1 hit “Honky Tonk Women” were 45s that came out in 1975-76, around the time ABKCO issued the Stones rarities album Metamorphosis. “Sympathy For The Devil” was remixed separately by The Neptunes and Fat Boy Slim in 2003 and originally released as part of a Super Audio CD at the time – it exists here as a 7” vinyl record.

ABKCO Records is home to catalog of The Rolling Stones from the band’s inception to early 1971. This includes the albums The Rolling Stones, England’s Newest Hit Makers, 12 X 5, The Rolling Stones No. 2, The Rolling Stones, Now!, Out of Our Heads, December’s Children (And Everybody’s), Aftermath, Got Live If You Want It!, Between the Buttons, Their Satanic Majesties Request, Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed and Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out! The Rolling Stones in Concert. ABKCO Films is home to Charlie Is My Darling – Ireland 1965 and The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus.
