🎸🔥 In the studio with legends! Trevor Kidd, the genre-defying artist from Victoria, BC, is back with his new single “Sunshine” — and this time he’s teaming up with Garry Beers of INXS and Jeff Martin of The Tea Party. The result? A powerhouse rock collaboration you don’t want to miss.

From recording with members of Billy Talent & Sum 41, performing alongside Randy & Tal Bachman, and opening for April Wine, Kidd has made his mark with high-profile collabs and national acclaim. After his award-winning 2022 single “Salvation,” “Sunshine” delivers anthemic energy, soaring melodies, and gritty guitars — proving Trevor Kidd is a modern rock force. ⚡🎶

Fresh off her 2025 Juno Award win for Adult Contemporary Album of the Year, bilingual Montreal-born songwriter, producer, and recording artist Maïa Davies returns with Lovers’ Gothic (Deluxe Edition) — a sweeping, emotionally potent expansion of the critically acclaimed record that marked her artistic and personal rebirth. Out today, via acronym Records/The Orchard, the deluxe edition deepens the story of Lovers’ Gothic, offering new tracks that underscore Davies’ unwavering honesty and luminous sense of craft.

Described by Davies as “my journey back to myself,” Lovers’ Gothic chronicles the aftermath of surviving an intensely toxic relationship marked by emotional and sexual abuse. Written during a nomadic chapter spent across Canada, Europe, and California, the album emerged as both a cathartic lifeline and an act of reclamation. “When I was struggling to survive—music and songwriting came to my rescue, giving me back my voice, quite literally,” she shares.

The deluxe edition features previously unreleased material that further illuminates the raw vulnerability and cinematic scope of the original album. Anchored by Davies’ buttery vocals and poetic lyricism, the songs evoke the drama and delicacy of baroque pop, drawing comparisons to Tori Amos, Kate Bush, and Beach House. Recorded in studios across the country, Lovers’ Gothic unfolds like a confessional storyboard—mapping grief, clarity, and hard-won resilience with breathtaking precision.

“This Juno is a lifelong dream come true—not just for me, but for my friends, family, and team who support me so fully,” Davies says. “It’s a beautiful thing to see such a personal record resonate so deeply. Releasing the deluxe edition feels like closing a chapter—with gratitude and love.”

The track is carried by a Middle Eastern-tinged deep house beat that is both soulful and dance-ready at best. Ash’s signature transportive fusion of traditional instrumentals and electronics flows dreamily with Felukah’s pop sensibilities and laid-back delivery of poignant lyrics in both Arabic and English.

The duo initially premiered the track at Ash’s debut live concert at the Pyramids of Giza in October 2024.

Montreal-based, Cairo-born artist Ash has released his highly anticipated new single, "On My Mind," coupled with the soulful talents of Felukah. Delivering a unique fusion of genres, and blending Ash’s signature dance-ready beats with Felukah’s captivating voice. A global force in music, Ash is known for his genre-defying style, seamlessly weaving together the rich musical traditions of his Egyptian and French heritage with electrifying electronic sounds. With over 1 billion streams and a rapidly growing fanbase, Ash continues to captivate listeners around the world with his eclectic approach to music.

Last year, Ash’s artistry continued to reach new heights as he embarked on a sold-out world tour, having already performed in cities like New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Cairo, Istanbul, and Montréal. With over 50,000 tickets sold, 2.5 million monthly Spotify listeners, 500,000 YouTube subscribers, and 228,000 Instagram followers, Ash’s deep connection with his audience is undeniable. Joining Ash on “On My Mind” is Felukah, a rising star whose music blends the essence of Middle Eastern hip-hop with Afrofuturism. Born and raised in Cairo, Felukah has made waves since moving to New York City in 2017, drawing inspiration from her roots and her experience as a creative writer. With collaborations with notable artists from the SWANA region, including Ma-Beyn, Nayomi, Dounia, and Nadine El Roubi, Felukah is a force of her own. Her work was recently featured in a cover of Queen’s "A Kind of Magic," recorded with Danna Paola and Tamtam for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Fans of both Ash and Felukah can expect an exciting, genre-blurring experience with "On My Mind" – a track that reflects the fusion of cultures and sounds that define their artistry.

We could call it street rock or (soul) punk, but what is striking is the deadly shot that the various 'Gratitude', 'Walk Straight' and 'Boogie' bring as a dowry. Cheeky when necessary ('A Lotta Lotta'), more thoughtful on some occasions (the slow and tear-jerking ballad 'Blue Monday'), pleasantly rattling ('Brazil') or intense and rich in "soul" flavour ('Why They Run'), Equator bring home the result in an unexpected but absolutely convincing way. Hooligan yes, but with style to spare!
