New music Saturday

Emi Jeen is a Montreal-based alt-pop artist noted for her emotionally raw and powerful vocals. Her songs tell a tale: at once hopeful and nostalgic; wistful and urgent; raw and graceful.

Emi Jeen just released the second single, “Holy Water,” from her upcoming EP named The Other Side coming in late October. The perfect breakup song about what happens when one person loves the other more.

There is a common misconception that people who write songs and play music have a deep seated desire to be famous. It’s as if “making it” in music is somehow connected with celebrity. “Nameless” is about doing what you love even if it contradicts convention. 

A natural storyteller who crafts melodies and narratives with intelligence and ease, singer-songwriter Rob Williams is known for his compelling, character-driven songs. With the August 28 release of his fourth solo album, Weathering the Storm, Vol. 1, Williams shares his most moving and intimate work yet.
