Alberta’s JUNO-nominated Raghav has dished out new song “Take Me Away” which sees him dabbling in some EDM. He has landed four singles on the Hot 100 and many more internationally including Top 10 hits in Britain. His biggest hit to date at home was “Fire” which went gold; the most recent was “WooHoo”. Raghav has also been contributing to motion picture soundtracks including Disney’s Million Dollar Arm. Besides a sumptuous EDM vibe, “Take Me Away’s” strength lies in Raghav’s voice which is such a gift. The music video was made with the support of MuchFact. Raghav says it was filmed in “Squamish [BC] doubling as a Peruvian village”. iTunes
This week, at least half a dozen maple dipped singles materialized on the digital shelves of online retailers. Hopefully, at least one of them will hit the spot for you. Montréal EDM wizard and music producer Tigahas released “Bugatti” showing that he still has the magic that helped him win a JUNO award back in 2007. Speaking of JUNO award winning artists, Vancouver’s Grimes has a new song out called “Go“. This one, which features Canadian producer Blood Diamonds, is more mainstream than her previous avant-garde efforts. This owes to its being originally written for Rihanna.
Austin Belle is a new country duo from Vancouver. Singer-songwriter Stacey McKitrick was part of chart-topping supergroup Young Artists For Haiti. The other half of Austin Belle is Jesse Wainwright, a member of multiplatinum rock band State of Shock. The duo released a single earlier in the year. “Just Drive” is the followup.
Diamond veteran Tom Cochrane‘s latest tune is “Sunday Afternoon Hang” which proves that the Manitoban still has it. Alberta’s Raghav, after Hot 100 charting single “WooHoo” and writing music for Hollywood feature films, has a new feel-good dance anthem for the summer entitled “Take Me Away“. Finally, Hot 100 charting Vernon BC singer Andrew Allenisn’t just thinking about anyone; he’s … “Thinking About You“.
