The album was named one of CBC Music’s Best Canadian Albums of 2023 (#7) and was shortlisted for the 2023 Polaris Music Prize.Begonia’s live performance is world class. She has been playing sold out clubs and theatres in North America, and recently supported indie-all-star, Leith Ross, on their European tour. Her vocal prowess has the power to absolutely floor an audience, evidenced at her Polaris Gala performance.

Co-written and produced by Alexa Dirks and Marcus Paquin (The National, The Weather Station, Arcade Fire) along with contributions from her frequent collaborators and producer duo, deadmen, the EP is a project that “encompasses the feeling of working through conflict and the elation that can surface when you’re honest with others and ultimately yourself. "With a rich sound and unshakeable confidence, Canadian-born Begonia is a force to be reckoned with."-Wonderland Magazine(UK)
