"Ibiza" began topping Scandinavian charts thanks to an EDM remix by Norwegian duo SeeB. The dance version recently took hold in the U.S., already peaking at No. 14 on the Hot 100. The track is the #1 Most Shazamed track in Canada, and is racing up the charts at Top 40 radio. ‘At Night, Alone’ has the acoustic vibe of the original version of "Ibiza," with a handful of "bonus remixes" for his dance fans. "The first 10 songs, they're meant to be listened to as they are written — at night and alone," he said. "And the remixes after are just fun." ‘At Night, Alone’ is full of monster hit singles and is expected to be one of the breakout hit albums of the Spring/ Summer. Mike Posner will be doing multiple massive TV appearances in support of the album, including Late Night With Jimmy Fallon on March 18th.

The album continues with the bluesy “Don’t Lose Your Steam,” one of two songs that Porter wrote with his three‐year‐old son Demyan in mind. Propelled by a stomping, organ‐enhanced groove, Porter belts out encouraging lyrics about staying committed to one’s goals regardless of hardship. The other tune Porter wrote for Demyan is “Day Dream,” which features a lithe, piano‐driven beat and a breezy tenor saxophone solo as accompaniment to fanciful lyrics in which Porter observes Demyan’s vivid imagination as he plays. Take Me To The Alley is the follow‐up to 2013’s Liquid Spirit, which was awarded the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal album. In referring to Liquid Spirit The New York Times said, “Porter [is] "a jazz singer of thrilling presence, a booming baritone with a gift for earthy refinement and soaring uplift". Gregory will be appearing at the Montréal Jazz Festival on June 29th and the Victoria Jazz festival July 3rd. Vinyl will also be available for Take Me To The Alley.

Come On In My Kitchen From the chunky, harmonica‐singed ain’t‐gonna‐stand‐for‐it romance of “My Babe” to a modern rewrite of “Pretty Thing” – the wedding ring is now coming off, not on – The Northern South Vol. 1 shakes loose the grooves and melodies, shakes off the Blueshammer stigma that comes with the territory, and shakes, as in shimmies, with six new songs that showcase Whitehorse’s formidable guitar prowess. The EP has sharpened Whitehorse’s own sense of sound and mission, a fusion of pre‐Beatles American electric fuzzed up, processed and distorted by pedals, telephones and layers of banged‐about bits. Whitehorse’s M.O. is one part clockmaker’s precision, one part unchecked hurricane. So much of the duo’s identity is strung over frets, tightened by pegs, and sent screaming through amps – The Northern South Vol. 1 is a one‐way ticket to Guitarland.

Now ten years on from their debut EP, the Toronto four‐piece are looking back to the energy and spirit of that formative era while keeping an eye on the future. The new EP's recapture the urgency and attitude of their earliest material, all the way back to the A Lesson In Crime EP and 2008’s full‐length debut Elephant Shell. They harnessed that primal and instinctual joy to make their tightest, brightest, and certainly raddest batch of songs to date. Ever present is the band’s good‐natured sense of humor, perhaps nowhere more clearly than in the EP’s title itself. But it’s more than just a pun or an overt nod to a formative album; it’s a reminder that Tokyo Police Club’s moment ‐ their vitality, their radness ‐ extends far beyond the now. When you start a band as a group of teenage best friends in your small Canadian hometown, it’s hard to imagine that a decade later you're still touring the world, playing shows to legions of fans, putting out a steady stream of acclaimed albums, garnering JUNO Award nominations and performing on the Late Show With David Letterman (three times!). “if people hear ‘Not My Girl’ and feel like they were meeting an old friend again ‐ like it was taking them back ‐ that would make me happy” says Monks. TPC is lead singer/bass player and principal songwriter Dave Monks, drummer Greg Alsop, keyboardist/guitarist Graham Wright, and guitarist Josh Hook. Canadian tour dates to be announced! “Rarely has crafting such high‐velocity guitar pop seemed so easy” ‐ Rolling Stone Track Listings: 1) Not My Girl 2) PCH 3) The Ocean 4) Losing You 5) Please Don’t Let Me Down INTERNAL USE Label Name: Dine Alone Records Territory: Domestic Release Type: D For additional artist information please contact [email protected] UNIVERSAL MUSIC 2450 Victoria Park Avenue, Suite 1, Toronto, ON M2J 5H3 Phone: (416) 718‐4000 Fax: (416) 718‐4218 UNIVERSAL MUSIC CANADA NEW RELEASE Artist/Title: Andy Black / The Shadow Side Cat.

  • Nielsen Music Year-End Report Canada 2016
    NIELSEN MUSIC YEAR-END REPORT CANADA 2016 NIELSEN MUSIC YEAR-END REPORT CANADA 2016 Copyright © 2017 The Nielsen Company 1 Welcome to the annual Nielsen Music Year End Report for Canada, providing the definitive 2016 figures and charts for the music industry. And what a year it was! The year had barely begun when we were already saying goodbye to musical heroes gone far too soon. David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Glenn Frey, Leon Russell, Maurice White, Prince, George Michael ... the list goes on. And yet, despite the sadness of these losses, there is much for the industry to celebrate. Music consumption is at an all-time high. Overall consumption of album sales, song sales and audio on-demand streaming volume is up 5% over 2015, fueled by an incredible 203% increase in on-demand audio streams, enough to offset declines in sales and return a positive year for the business. 2016 also marked the highest vinyl sales total to date. It was an incredible year for Canadian artists, at home and abroad. Eight different Canadian artists had #1 albums in 2016, led by Drake whose album Views was the biggest album of the year in Canada as well as the U.S. The Tragically Hip had two albums reach the top of the chart as well, their latest release and their 2005 best of album, and their emotional farewell concert in August was something we’ll remember for a long time. Justin Bieber, Billy Talent, Céline Dion, Shawn Mendes, Leonard Cohen and The Weeknd also spent time at #1. Break out artist Alessia Cara as well as accomplished superstar Michael Buble also enjoyed successes this year.

Cunard and Blue Note Records' first "Jazz at Sea" Transatlantic Crossing included intimate performances by a star-studded roster of fellow Blue Note musicians, featuring: Grammy® Award-winning jazz pianist and record producer Robert Glasper, acclaimed trumpet player Keyon Harrold, tenor saxophonist Marcus Strickland, guitarist Lionel Loueke, bassist Derrick Hodge and drummer Kendrick Scott.

Most everything contained will be multiple CD sets, DVDs, CD/DVD sets, books and the like. Of course, you can always look though our back issues to see what came out in 2017 (and prior years), but none of us would want to attempt to decide which CDs would be a fitting ad- dition to this guide. As with 2016, the year 2017 was a bit on the lean side as far as reviews go of box sets, books and DVDs - it appears tht the days of mass quantities of boxed sets are over - but we do have some to check out. These are in no particular order in terms of importance or release dates.

  • Alan Jackson Angels and Alcohol
    Alan Jackson Angels and Alcohol For more than 25 years Alan Jackson’s music has provided a soundtrack for American life. Whether someone is plowing a Kansas field or toiling away in a factory in an urban metropolis, Jackson’s songs have chronicled the hopes, dreams and values of everyday people. Hits like “Remember When,” “Drive” and “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)” have become an enduring part of America’s musical landscape, but Jackson’s restless creative spirit won’t let him sit on his considerable laurels. With Angels and Alcohol, Jackson’s first studio album of new music in three years, he continues to deliver the kind of insightful and thoroughly engaging songs that have long been the foundation of his successful career. From the pensive title track to the up-tempo first single, “Jim and Jack and Hank,” Jackson takes the listener on an emotional journey. “I’ve always got my eyes and ears open for ideas, melodies and things,” Jackson says. “I keep a running list of good hooks and titles, and if I have a melody that I come up with now, I just put it on my phone so I won’t forget. If I get inspired by something, I’ll sit down and write a whole song right away, but most of the time I just collect ideas and hooks and melodies and eventually I’ll get around to writing it.” Jackson’s observational skills have served him well throughout his 25-year career. The Newnan, Georgia native has sold nearly 60 million albums and released more than 60 singles with 50 landing in the top ten and 35 soaring all the way to No.
