Traditionally, the purposefulness and relevance of a singer-songwriter were defined by something unique in their lyrical acumen, vocal skills and/or guitar or piano accompaniment. In the 1990s this paradigm was tested by the trend towards larger orchestrastion and towards electronic orchestration. In the 2000s it became harder and harder to give purpose and meaning to a body of work mostly relying on the message. Many singer-songwriters of the 2000s belonged to "Generation X" but sang and wrote for members of "Generation Y". Since "Generation Y" was inherently different from all the generations that had preceeded it, it was no surprise that the audience for these singer-songwriters declined. Since the members of "Generation X" were generally desperate to talk about themselves, it was not surprising that the number of such singer- songwriters increased. The net result was an odd disconnect between the musician and her or his target audience. The singer-songwriters of the 2000s generally sounded more "adult" because... they were.

  • Fw POLARIS MUSIC PRIZE ADDS TITLE to the LONG LIST
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE POLARIS MUSIC PRIZE ADDS ONE MORE TITLE TO THE 2014 LONG LIST TORONTO, ON – Tuesday, June 24, 2014. Steve Jordan, Director and Founder of the Polaris Music Prize, announced the addition of Greg MacPherson’s album Fireball to the 2014 Long List. Due to an incorrect reference in the prize’s new web-based voting system, there was a miscalculation of votes. The error was discovered and corrected, resulting in the addition of MacPherson’s album to the list. One title that would have been pushed out with MacPherson’s inclusion will also re- main on the Long List. “We pride ourselves in triple checking to ensure every ballot is counted correctly so obviously this is quite an embarrassment for us. The developers have assured us all is working properly mov- ing into our Short List vote. The bonus for music lovers is that yet another deserving album gets Polaris recognition,” said Steve Jordan on the error. 2014 Polaris Music Prize Long List: Arcade Fire – Reflektor AroarA – In The Pines Austra – Olympia Philippe B – Ornithologie, la nuit BADBADNOTGOOD – III Basia Bulat – Tall Tall Shadow Chromeo – White Women Cousins – The Halls Of Wickwire Cowboy Junkies / Various Artists – The Kennedy Suite The Darcys – Warring Dead Obies – Montréal $ud Mac DeMarco – Salad Days DIANA – Perpetual Surrender Drake – Nothing Was The Same Freedom Writers – NOW Fresh Snow – I Frog Eyes – Carey’s Cold Spring Gorguts – Colored Sands Tim Hecker – Virgins Jimmy Hunt – Maladie d’amour Jessy Lanza – Pull My Hair Back Greg MacPherson - Fireball Kalle

  • 2009 Polaris Music Prize Long List Announced Today
    2009 Polaris Music Prize Long List announced today. For Immediate release Toronto, ON (June 15, 2009) The Polaris Music Prize Long List was revealed today by Steve Jordan, Prize Founder and Executive Director. This is the fourth year of the $20,000 Prize which is awarded to the best full-length Canadian album, judged solely on artistic merit, without regard to genre or record sales. This marks the second year Polaris has made the Long List public. The Long List consists of the top 40 full- length Canadian records released from June 1, 2008 to May 31, 2009, according to an initial vote by the 181 members of the Polaris Music Prize jury. The jury consists of music journalists, broadcasters and bloggers from across Canada. No music industry personnel with direct financial relationships with artists vote for Polaris. “In just one year the Long List has become another integral tool for the Polaris mission of exposing great records to Canadian music lovers. Certainly this year’s list challenges the notion that quantity and quality are mutually exclusive,” said Jordan. Jordan also announced that the Long List is being presented by the Canada Council for the Arts. The Head of the Council’s Music Section, Russell Kelley, said, "the Polaris Prize is given to the best album of the year based solely on artistic merit. The Canada Council has a long history of funding projects based on artistic merit. This is a good very fit. We are pleased and proud to support this year's Long List." Jordan also announced a contest with Exclaim.ca where fans can offer their predictions on which of the 40 Long List titles will make the Short List.
