Lili-Ann De Francesco Signs With Maison Barclay Canada And Shares Moving Cover Of Patrick Watson’s “The Great Escape”

Today not only marks the beginning of Sagittarius season but also artist Lili-Ann De Francesco’s birthday. It is only fitting that the artist re-introduces herself today with the release of, “The Great Escape,” via Maison Barclay Canada, Universal Music Canada’s Quebec focused label imprint. The poignant cover of Patrick Watson’s song marks De Francesco’s debut with the record label and serves as the perfect re-introduction to the Montreal-based singer-songwriter, encapsulating her heartfelt artistry and emotional depth.

About the release De Francesco commented, “The song “The Great Escape” really inspired me from an early age, it got me through some tough times. I wanted to share it with a new generation in hopes that it could serve as a comfort to them, like it did for me. Patrick Watson’s original version of the song is fifteen years old and it’s still as poignant and beautiful as ever.”

In the captivating performance visuals also shared today, De Francesco is bathed in blue and green light as she plays the piano – an instrument she’s been playing since she was just five years old. Throughout the performance she’s stripped back and true, two qualities central to her purpose. “I want to do what I like, and I want the people who work with me to support my decisions and support my choices,” she says. “I want to be true in my music, as well — I want to talk about real stuff.”

Coming into her own in the Instagram-turned-TikTok world, De Francesco is not someone who takes her goals as an artist lightly. Most important among them? Choosing herself, as well as staying grounded and relatable. “I want to show to the people that I can be vulnerable, but also I can be fun — it’s not really ‘artist’ and ‘person.’ It’s one.”

Stay tuned for more from the artist as she prepares to release brand new material in the new year.

“It’s been a while since we made music together. Almost 40 years, actually. We took a break in the spring of 1982 and now we’ve decided it’s time to end it. They say it’s foolhardy to wait more than 40 years between albums, so we’ve recorded a follow-up to “The Visitors”. To tell the truth, the main inspiration to record again comes from our involvement in creating the strangest and most spectacular concert you could ever dream of. We’re going to be able to sit back in an audience and watch our digital selves perform our songs on a stage in a custom-built arena in London next spring. Weird and wonderful! To all of you who patiently have followed us in some way or another these past decades: Thank you for waiting -it’s time for a new journey to begin,” says Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid of Abba

SiriusXM’s ABBA Radio is available to subscribers in their car and on their phone and connected devices at home with the SXM App. Streaming access is included for most subscribers. Go to www.siriusxm.com/ways-to-listen to learn more.

Kaya Usher and The Family Band announce release date for debut album, All This Is

Kaya Usher, the wife of The Tragically Hip’s lead singer Gord Downie, has released her debut album, All This Is, produced by Kevin Drew of Broken Social Scene and Nyles Spencer. Mastered by Grammy award-winner Emily Lazar, the 10-track project also features Andrea Nann on back-up vocals and two of Usher and Gord Downie’s children, Lou and Willo. Bringing to life the couple’s dream of one day forming a family band, All This Is will self-released and distributed by Arts & Crafts Productions, the label behind Downie’s solo career.

“This is a very personal album for me, not only because I get to jam out with my kids, but also because music has helped me to rise up and transcend what was holding me back,” says Kaya Usher. “Everyone can connect to music. My hope is that this album helps others reach new heights too.”

All This Is represents a reset. It is Usher’s story, told for the first time through a series of songs. Haunting melodies and soul-searching lyrics create an experience for the listener that reflects Usher’s awakening process, a journey that began when she fought breast cancer in her forties. The album speaks to her unraveling, her epiphany and, finally, her metamorphosis.

Kevin Drew met Usher in 2013 through Downie, and they soon became good friends. Their collaboration is heard throughout the album, in its robust compositions, ambient chords and hypnotic rhythms. Featuring her son Lou on keyboard and drums, her daughter Willo on harmonies and Usher playing classical guitar, organ, harmonica and providing vocals, All This Is is an offering almost thirty years in the making.

The project was recorded at The Bathouse Recording Studio — a studio owned and managed by The Hip, near Kingston on the shores of Lake Ontario. The album art was designed by Willo.

All This Is is infused with high levels of frequency, found to be beneficial for inducing calm and deep relaxation. The album, which will also be available on meditation app Medito, is an extension of Usher’s frequency work. Her online platform, The Simplicity Platform, offers sessions, classes, recordings and other tools designed to help others achieve a deep state of calm and inner peace. The project is the first in a series of projects geared at healing, self-discovery and growth, with two books on the subject authored by Usher debuting in 2022. More information on the books can be found here.

Kaya Usher is a Canadian artist, musician and frequency work professional currently residing in Southern Ontario. Her work helps others to heal, discover and grow. At 20, Montreal native Usher met Gord Downie at university, and fell madly in love. A talented lyricist and musician in her own right, Usher stayed home and raised the couple’s four children. But in private, Usher and Downie would sing duets at family functions and share creative ideas. Their life together was a ride of experiences and themes that have made it into All This Is.
