Arielle Soucy
Arielle Soucy is a trained singer, instrumentalist, author and composer active since 2019 in Montreal. Soothing and benign, her music reveals a peculiar glance on soul and psychedelic-folk, led by aerial vocal arrangements and minimalistic, yet impressive acoustic guitar playing. Her singular country guitar playing, mixed with expressive vocal melodies, is inspired by the folk tradition, but in a modern, personal and experimental way. This unique blend transports listeners in a timeless and magical zone where the songwriter humbly confides to us how she tries to detach from her ego.
Haley Blais
Haley's defiant scream-into-your-pillow pop anthems have amassed 20 million streams worldwide and sold out headline shows across the US and UK, and it all began in 2014 when she started recording and releasing songs from her bedroom. Haley's sophomore album Wisecrack was released on Arts & Crafts Records in 2023 and was long-listed for the Polaris Music Prize. Wisecrack is concerned with conscience, morality, and the superego. It’s “bleak but true,” as Haley puts it. “Am I a good person or not? Are we all doing okay? Am I a good daughter? Sister? Partner? Friend?” Haley's new album is more mature, confessional, focused, and darker than anything she has yet produced. The existential, everyday worries we all contain but rarely share are laid bare across 11 songs exquisitely performed with profundity, grace, and humour and is textured and wryly poetic, somewhere between childhood memory and the creation of a new self.
