Tales From The City
www.mobiletheband.com
Dist: Universal Music Canada
These five Montrealers have, despite adversity in both their personal and professional realms since the release of their popular debut, Tomorrow Starts Today, redoubled their resolve to stay true to their own musical instincts, even if it means moving away from the relative safety of known formulas and into uncharted territory. In the creation of the sophomore Tales from the City, more than ever before, they let their heart be their compass.
Melissa Etheridge
A New Thought For Christmas
www.melissaetheridge.com
Dist: Universal Music Canada
What if someone made a Christmas album for everybody else? That’s exactly what Melissa Etheridge has done. Working alongside her producer David Cole, Melissa’s songs celebrate a spiritual time of year where people can rejoice in their traditional, or non-traditional ways, and celebrate a winter solstice filled with love and peace. This ten song album has newly composed songs such as “Ring The Bells,” “Light A Light,” and “It’s Christmas Time” interspersed with traditional holiday standards such as “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” and “Blue Christmas.” This album begs the question, “If we’re all talking about peace on earth, what if we all concentrated on peace on earth and made it happen?”
