Emilie Kahn
Harpist and singer-songwriter makes warm, enveloping pop music that slips between sounding timeless and positively modern. Maybe, her album for Secret City Records, shows songwriting chops and command of melody similar to one of her faves: Taylor Swift. Live, she is accompanied by popular fellow Montreal musicians Cedric Noel, Thanya Iyer and Pompey.
N Nao
Born Naomie de Lorimier, N NAO is an ethereal enchantress of experimental dream pop. Her training in jazz composition is the lens through which she explores romance and identity. Released last year, her sophomore album L’eau et les rêves, with its spiraling maze of edgy folk pop rituals, recalls the dreamiest Cocteau Twins tracks.
Wallgrin
The airy experimental pop project of Vancouver-based violinist/composer Tegan Wahlgren, Wallgrin is an impressively dynamic play of compositions that merge Wahlgren’s operatic vocal range with romantic bass riffs. Brand new single “Arrow to the Wind” is an avant-pop ritual that radiates with choral vocals that envelops listeners, as will their raw live performance.
Laura Hickli
Prairies-based songwriter Laura Hickli combines captivating vocals and enchanting soundscapes to deliver emotionally charged performances that linger on and on. Her music reflects the journey of identity crisis, set to enchanting chamber pop. A classically trained pianist, Hickli illuminates paths to newfound hope with disarming vulnerability and stunning musicianship.
