Acclaimed singer-songwriter Cameron Whitcomb keeps moving forward with today’s premiere of his latest single, “Kingdom of Fear,” available now via Atlantic Outpost HERE. An official lyric video is streaming now at YouTube HERE. The high-energy, hard-driving track heralds Whitcomb’s upcoming new EP, Deep Water, arriving everywhere on Friday, April 17. Pre-orders/pre-saves are available now HERE.
“Seems like lately I’ve fallen back in love with songwriting. It’s like having sex with your ex,” shares Cameron. “Something familiar, comfortable, but also refreshing about it. It’s been an incredible time getting to put these ideas that’ve been banging around in my head on paper.”
“Kingdom of Fear” follows the release of his latest single, “You and Me,” available now HERE. Hailed by Billboard as “an emotional, heartfelt folk-rock song characterized by his soft, weathered vocals and a stomp-clap rhythm,” the track – which sees Whitcomb teaming once again with producer Jack Riley (Knox, Grace VanderWaal) and his frequent songwriting collaborators Cal Shapiro (Alex Warren, Timeflies) and Nolan Sipe (Benson Boone, Alex Warren) – proved Whitcomb’s career third-highest Spotify debut thus far having already become a fan favorite thanks to recent live performances while travelling North America alongside HARDY as special guest on his epic THE COUNTRY! COUNTRY! TOUR!. What’s more, “You and Me” continued Whitcomb’s home country hot streak by instantly debuting on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100.
This weekend will see Whitcomb among the top stars performing at Canada’s 55th Annual JUNO Awards, set for Hamilton, ON’s TD Coliseum on Sunday, March 29. The Nanaimo, BC-born artist makes his JUNO Awards debut with five total nominations, propelling him into top categories alongside some of his home country’s most established names including Justin Bieber, Tate McRae, and The Weeknd. The nods – which follow his two recent wins at the Canadian Country Music Awards (CCMA) – include “TD JUNO Fan Choice,” “Single of the Year Presented by Sunrise Records,” “Album of the Year Presented by Music Canada,” “Breakthrough Artist or Group of the Year Presented by FACTOR, the Government of Canada and Canada’s Private Radio Broadcasters,” and “Country Album of the Year.”
Whitcomb’s busy schedule also includes taking centerstage on his Fragile Egos Tour, a new run of US headline shows produced by Live Nation resuming April 1 with a SOLD-OUT show at Boston, MA’s Citizens House of Blues Boston. Additional tour highlights include SOLD-OUT stops at such notable venues as New York City’s historic Irving Plaza (April 4), Charlottesville, VA’s The Jefferson Theatre (April 8), Detroit, MI’s Saint Andrew’s Hall (May 30), and Cleveland, OH’s House of Blues (June 2). Tickets for all other dates are extremely limited. Cameron Whitcomb has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 from every ticket sold from the Fragile Egos Tour goes to support Shatterproof and their work reversing the addiction crisis in the United States. For complete details and remaining ticket availability, please visit thecamwhitcomb.com.
Meanwhile, Whitcomb will continue to support HARDY on THE COUNTRY! COUNTRY! TOUR!, with dates set across the US and Canada into the summer. In May, Whitcomb will head Down Under for an eagerly awaited headline tour of Australia and New Zealand, with almost all dates now sold out and additional shows added in some markets due to overwhelming demand. As if all that weren’t enough, Whitcomb is also set for a number of top-billed festival performances, including Georgetown, TX’s Two Step Inn (April 19), Indio, CA’s Stagecoach Music Festival (April 26), Fergus, ON’s Meadows Music Festival (May 29), Vancouver, BC’s FIFA Fan Festival (June 14), Bloomington, IL’s Tailgate N’ Tallboys (June 20), Dauphin, MB’s Dauphin’s Countryfest (June 27), Fort McMurray, AB’s Hello Summer Festival (July 5), Craven, SK’s Country Thunder Saskatchewan (July 11), Three Forks, MT’s Headwaters Country Jam (July 23), Camrose, AB’s Big Valley Jamboree (August 2), and more.
Last month saw Whitcomb kick off what’s rapidly proving a landmark year with “All Your’n (Amazon Music Original)” an Amazon Music Original cover of the Tyler Childers fan favorite available to stream and purchase now exclusively on Amazon Music. An official live performance video can be viewed now via YouTube HERE.
2025 saw Whitcomb take a giant step forward with his acclaimed debut album, The Hard Way, joined by an expanded Deluxe Edition available now via Atlantic Records HERE. The album debuted at #1 on the Country Albums chart in Whitcomb’s home country of Canada, earning Gold certification and quickly surpassing 500 million streams nationwide thanks to such emotionally raw singles as the breakout fan favorite “Quitter,” the brutally self-aware “Hundred Mile High,” the defiant “Options,” the hopeful “Fragile,” the gut-punching title track, and the chart-climbing hit, “Medusa, the latter joined by a live performance video streaming HERE. A deeply personal look at Whitcomb’s turbulent journey – from early struggles with addiction to his remarkable recovery and personal growth – The Hard Way is further anchored by the powerful “Call For You,” written as a tribute to his mom. The Deluxe Edition adds five very special bonus tracks, including “End of the Morning,” a previously unheard collaboration with indie folk artist Evan Honer, as well as the standout track, “Problem,” joined by an exclusive “Amazon Music presents” live performance video streaming HERE.
With over 5M monthly listeners on Spotify, 4.5M+ followers across social platforms, and over 835M+ global streams to date, Whitcomb is riding high after what truly proved a landmark 2025 for the Nanaimo, BC-based artist. Named the 2025 recipient of CMA’s Jeff Walker Global Country Artist Award, recognizing outstanding achievements by a Country Music artist who is originally based internationally, Whitcomb was among the big winners at the 2025 Canadian Country Music Awards (CCMA), taking home the “Breakthrough Artist of the Year” and “Fans’ Choice” awards amidst six total nominations. Whitcomb also made his Canadian TV debut at the CCMA Awards with an energetic live performance of “Quitter,” streaming HERE.
In a world that often prizes surface-level honesty, Whitcomb stands out as an artist with the courage to confront uncomfortable truths. After leaving home at age 17 to work on a pipeline, the British Columbia native discovered his passion for singing and devoted himself to music. He broke through with his 2024 debut EP, Quitter – a fearless collection of country/folk songs inspired by his journey through addiction and recovery. Since then, the 22-year-old singer-songwriter has skyrocketed, landing on 2025 Artist to Watch lists from Spotify and Amazon Music, releasing his full-length debut, The Hard Way, and traveling the world on increasingly popular tours including his biggest North American headline run thus far, the I’ve Got Options Tour, which saw him packing houses from coast-to-coast including a sold-out two-night stand at Los Angeles, CA’s iconic Troubadour.

Ahead of his WHATEVER’S CLEVER! WORLD TOUR starting next month, Charlie Puth has released his highly anticipated fourth studio album Whatever’s Clever! via Atlantic Records. Listen HERE.
“I had to take a closer look at myself to make this record and sing about things I normally wouldn’t sing about,” says Charlie on Whatever’s Clever! “Audiences knew my music more than they knew me because I never really gave them a chance to know me. This is the chance.”
Immersed in classics from Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, and Philip Bailey, embracing sounds like the Yamaha CP70 and experimenting with techniques during sessions at his home studio, “I knew I wanted to make a rich, warm, and big-sounding record,” he states. and found the perfect collaborator in co-producer BloodPop®
“BloodPop® pushed me to use sonics I hadn’t touched before, to sing about subjects I’d never sung about, and write songs that might’ve made me uncomfortable in the past,” he admits. “The best singers don’t flawlessly sing on pitch, the guitar goes out of tune, or the record skips. If A.I. is going to take over the world, we decided to be as human as possible. It only took a couple of songs with BloodPop® pushing me, then I was pushing myself.”
Last night, the multi-Diamond and award-winning artist appeared as the lead guest and performer on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, performing his latest single “Sideways” alongside Coco Jones. A blissed-out ’90s-inspired R&B love song, “Sideways” features Puth’s close friend and collaborator Coco Jones, who first joined him to debut the track live during his Blue Note LA underplay shows last winter and also appears on the official studio version.
Watch Charlie Puth perform “Sideways” featuring Coco Jones on Jimmy Kimmel Live! HERE.
“Charlie is such an incredible artist, constantly refining his craft.” Shares Coco Jones, “We had so much fun bringing “Sideways” to life, and it was such an honor debuting the song at Charlie’s Blue Note show together in Los Angeles. I’m so excited that the world can finally hear it!”
Charlie Puth shared, “I love working with vocalists who can take a song to the next level – and Coco did just that. When writing Sideways, I wanted to evoke a very cinematic picture through the chords and melody. And this vision came alive the moment Coco sang into the microphone. She is an incredible artist and it’s been a joy to work with her on this.”
Other sonic delights taken from his latest body of work, out today, include the timeless yacht rock gem “Love In Exile” (featuring Michael McDonald & Kenny Loggins. Fueled by the interplay of loose guitar and neon keys, it takes flight as a vocal masterclass with Charlie holding his own shoulder-to-shoulder next to a pair of icons. This mega-collab concludes on the wistful refrain, “We had it all for a while, but now it feels like love in exile.”
“I started playing in my studio, and Kenny whispered to me, ‘You should really let Mike play because he’ll play something you wouldn’t play’,” he remembers. “It was the best advice ever. My mind was just blown when they each sang, but they are the humblest guys ever. To me, it’s like a classic record from the seventies or eighties.”
“Until It Happens To You” splices spoken word from Jeff Goldblum into a sunny and upbeat Charlie anthem. The legendary actor’s words practically ping-pong in spiritual harmony with vocals boosted by choir harmonies.
“Thematically, you’re watching a loved one go through hardship,” he notes. “This person has guided you through so much turbulence. The tables have turned though, and you need to help. Jeff wasn’t acting. He did a non-memorized monologue where he was speaking from the heart to his two young boys—one of whom is named Charlie.”
For the first time on “Hey Brother,” he directly addresses his younger brother Stephen. He urges, “I wish you could see in you what you see in me.” Charlie states, “I’m telling Stephen, ‘You’re always going to be my brother.’ I see the potential in him like he sees greatness in me. It’s not the most comfortable thing for me to sing about, but he hopefully has great comfort from it. He’s his own person.”
Puth concludes on Whatever’s Clever!, “I’m back to who I always was, I tried on a lot of different outfits and styles, but I believe everything happens for a reason. With a ring on my finger, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been and the most at-ease. These are real songs. They’re about my brother, my dad, my wife, and people who aren’t in my life anymore that I thought I needed. This is finally me.”

Flea releases the album he has aspired to make for more than 35 years, Honora, today on Nonesuch Records. After a nearly five-decade (and counting) career as one of his generation’s defining rock bassists, he has returned to his first musical loves, jazz and trumpet. The New York Times says the album’s ten songs “embody a deep pathos.” This first full-length solo record features six original tracks composed and arranged by Flea – including “A Plea” and “Traffic Lights” (feat. Thom Yorke) – as well as interpretations of Frank Ocean and Shea Taylor’s “Thinkin Bout You,” George Clinton and Eddie Hazel’s “Maggot Brain,” Jimmy Webb’s “Wichita Lineman,” and Ann Ronell’s “Willow Weep for Me.”
Listen to Honora via Nonesuch Records, watch the new visualizer for “Wichita Lineman” (feat. Nick Cave) and all other album visuals with direction, animation, and illustration by @nespy5euro: HERE
While Flea plays trumpet and bass throughout the album, he is joined by an elite crew of modern jazz visionaries: album producer and saxophonist Josh Johnson, guitarist Jeff Parker, bassist Anna Butterss, and drummer Deantoni Parks, with special vocal performances from Thom Yorke on “Traffic Lights” and Nick Cave on “Wichita Lineman,” contributions from Mauro Refosco (David Byrne, Atoms for Peace), Nate Walcott (Bright Eyes) and more.
This May, Flea and the Honora band embark on a sold-out international tour, playing intimate venues in select cities in North America and Europe. Earlier this week, they made their live debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Watch Flea, Josh Johnson, Jeff Parker, Anna Butterss, Deantoni Parks and a ten-piece orchestra perform “Thinkin Bout You,” and see Flea discuss his journey to Honora, an early encounter with Dizzy Gillespie and more in his interview with Fallon: HERE
Until Honora, Flea had never been scared of making music before. He worried that the all-star band he had assembled would think he was “a non-playing motherf*cker, charlatan, rock poseur or fan.” But, he says, “It turns out they were all the most genuinely supportive people, moving me deeply and daily with their generous spirits…Sitting in a room and playing the music with them made me feel like I was on drugs. I was buzzing, tripping and floating around the studio. I love them, they truly gave of themselves. I bow all the way down.”
Praise For Honora
“Amid the guest vocal appearances and an impassioned Flea monologue on ‘A Plea’ calling for unity amid the divisiveness of our current moment, it’s the leader’s trumpet work that stands out. On the album’s more reflective moments, his lines embody a deep pathos”
New York Times
“A dynamic listening experience that documents the progressive skill and heart of a musical multi-tasker like no other. It’s intuitive and inspiring”
Los Angeles Times
“A homecoming journey…the emotional and artistic stakes run deep”
DownBeat, April Cover Story
“Flea proves to be a subtly ambitious trumpeter: witness his Chet Bakerish take on Funkadelic’s ‘Maggot Brain.’ But ultimately, he respects the collectivist energies of the LA scene he’s infiltrated”
Mojo * * * *
“Flea has gravitated back to his first instrument – trumpet – and his first musical love, jazz. It’s a sideline he’s taken seriously…Honora is the impressive result”

MUBI, the global distributor, streaming service and production company, are pleased to share the official trailer and artwork of Rosebush Pruning, the latest feature from Karim Aїnouz (Motel Destino, Firebrand, Invisible Life) and one of the most audacious, conversation-starting films of the year.
Following its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival, Rosebush Pruning brings together an A-list cast in a bold, unpredictable portrait of a wealthy family, where privilege, desire and long-buried secrets collide. The film stars Callum Turner (Masters of the Air, The Boys in the Boat), Riley Keough (Daisy Jones & The Six, Zola), Jamie Bell (All of Us Strangers, Rocketman), Lukas Gage (The White Lotus, Euphoria), Elena Anaya (The Skin I Live In, MotherFatherSon) with Tracy Letts (Lady Bird, Ford vs Ferrari), Elle Fanning (Sentimental Value, A Complete Unknown) and Pamela Anderson (The Last Showgirl, The Naked Gun).
Underneath the Catalonian sun, a rich white American family lives in hedonistic isolation, seeking love and validation through one another, their designer wardrobes and pop music. When an outsider infiltrates the family, buried tensions surface and blood ties are severed.
An outrageous, biting satire on the absurdity of the patriarchal family, starring Callum Turner, Riley Keough, Jamie Bell, Lukas Gage, Elena Anaya, Tracy Letts, Elle Fanning and Pamela Anderson.
From award winning director Karim Aïnouz, written by Oscar nominated writer Efthimis Filippou, Rosebush Pruning is absurd, funny and in equal measure.
Rosebush Pruning is coming soon.
On March 24, 2026, the St. Catharines–Lincoln Destination Partnership will officially introduce The More We Get Together, aninitiative centred on Niagara’s food, wine, and hospitality. Invited media and guests will gather in St. Catharines for a day of shared experiences, including tastings, conversations with local chefs, and an exclusive lunch showcasing the region’s culinary talent.
“Rooted in place and driven by people, The More We Get Together brings Niagara’s most compelling culinary and craft beverage Tastemakers together to share the stories, flavours, and philosophies shaping St. Catharines and the Niagara Benchlands,” says Karen Doyle, Tourism Marketing Officer, City of St. Catharines.
The initiative revolves around the diversity, creativity, and quality shaping the region’s evolving food and culture scene — from locally rooted traditions to more contemporary, experience-driven offerings. Partners include Michelin-recognized restaurants, award-winning wineries, and emerging craft and culinary voices, connecting established excellence with the next generation of Niagara talent.
For visitors and culinary enthusiasts alike, The More We Get Together offers a clear lens into the region’s food and wine landscape, encouraging travellers to gather, taste, and connect with Niagara through shared experiences.
The afternoon will unfold through the voices and craft of some of Niagara’s most celebrated culinary and beverage tastemakers, including Fat Rabbit, Helliwell Hall, Les Incompétents, The Good Earth Food & Wine Co., and Inn on the Twenty, alongside a curated selection of local wineries hand-picked by Wines of Ontario.
Together, these partners represent the depth and diversity of Niagara’s food and beverage landscape, from farm-driven kitchens and artisanal producers to estate wineries rooted in the Niagara region. Each brings a distinct point of view shaped by place, seasonality, and craft, offering media an authentic, immersive look at the people and philosophies defining Niagara’s culinary identity.
Rooted in togetherness and place, The More We Get Together positions St. Catharines and the Town of Lincoln as a culinary destination worth visiting, able to stand alongside established food cities in Canada and beyond. Consumer-facing events inspired by the initiative are expected to follow in late 2026.

Some highlights from the event:
About the Partnership
The St. Catharines–Lincoln Destination Partnership is a collaborative destination
marketing organization representing the City of St. Catharines and the Town of Lincoln
(Niagara Benchlands). Through the Wander Niagara brand, the Partnership advances a

CASH CAB is back for its 10th season with 26 all-new episodes where unsuspecting passengers become instant contestants on the hit game show on wheels. Hosted by Adam Growe, riders answer trivia to win cash — while wrong answers earn strikes, and three strikes ends the game at the curb. Fan-favourite twists like the Red Light Challenge return, alongside the double-or-nothing finale Cash Cab Karaoke, where contestants must sing for their money or lose it all! Two new episodes air Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET on Much and stream the next day on Crave.
A true Canadian TV icon, Cash Cab is revving up for its biggest, boldest season yet, with a brand-new cab, fresh surprises, and the kind of authentic, unpredictable, and laugh-out-loud moments that have made it a fan favourite for a decade. Whether it’s nailing trivia on pop science or pop culture, calling in a last-minute Shout-Out, or belting out a song under pressure, anything can happen once the meter starts running.
This season, the stakes are higher and the rides are wilder. Contestants are real people hailing a real cab, and can still lean on classic lifelines like Mobile, Street, and Social Media Shout-Outs to help their game, but the real showstopper is Cash Cab Karaoke; a high-energy, double-or-nothing finale that turns every ride into a full-blown performance. One wrong note? You could lose it all.
Behind the wheel is beloved host Adam Growe, whose quick wit and infectious energy continue to turn everyday commutes into unforgettable, edge-of-your-seat game show moments.
“It’s an amazing feeling when my ceiling lights go off — especially when I get to surprise people in the Cash Cab who’ve grown up watching the show,” said host Adam Growe. “After 10 seasons, I believe that if you really want to understand what it means to be Canadian, just watch the contestants in the back of my Cash Cab!”
Produced by Castlewood Productions Inc., Cash Cab is directed and series-produced by Richard Rotter, an Emmy-nominated and CSA Award-winning creative known for bringing cinematic flair and emotional punch to unscripted storytelling. The series is executive-produced by Andrew Burnstein, with format licensing and global distribution by All3Media International.

The Hollywood Reporter Women in Entertainment Canada announces that Emmy and Tony Award-winning actor Andrea Martin will be honoured with the prestigious ICON Award at this year’s third annual event on Thursday, May 28, 2026 at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Toronto.
Few performers have shaped the fabric of comedy like Andrea Martin. From her groundbreaking work on SCTV to her celebrated career on Broadway and across film and television, her artistry has defined eras, influenced generations, and expanded what comedic and dramatic performances can be.
Andrea Martin: 2026 ICON Award Honouree
Moving effortlessly between stage and screen, satire and sincerity, ensemble and lead, Martin has consistently raised the standard of performance, inspiring audieces in Canada and around the world.
From playing Robin in Godspell in Toronto in 1972 in a company that included future stars Gilda Radner, Martin Short, Eugene Levy, and Victor Garber; to the juggernaut My Big Fat Greek Wedding film series; to her one-woman show, Andrea Martin: Final Days, Everything Must Go!; Martin has amassed a prolific body of work on stage and screen, both in front and behind the camera, that has earned her two Tony Awards, two Emmy Awards, and a long list of honours, nominations, and accolades awarded over more than five decades, including being named a laureate of the 2024 Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement.
Martin’s iconic role on SCTV started in 1976 when she joined then-unknowns John Candy, Dave Thomas, Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Harold Ramis, and Joe Flaherty on the beloved Canadian sketch comedy series. Among her many memorable portrayals, Martin most notably brought leapord-wearing station manager Edith Prickley to life, alongside some beloved real-life characterizations.
Her recent work on the acclaimed series Evil, Only Murders in the Building, The Gilded Age, and Overcompensating have only further endeared her to worldwide audiences.
Martin’s enduring influence, unmistakable voice, and commitment to craft have cemented her status as a true Canadian icon, one whose impact on comedy and storytelling continues to resonate across the industry today.
The Hollywood Reporter Women in Entertainment Canada is a first-of-its-kind summit and awards that brings the industry together across television, film, and music to celebrate and recognize the achievements of Canadian women who are driving the industry forward in their respective fields.
Martin joins previously announced honouree Malin Akerman, who will receive the Impact Award at the May 28 gala, with more honourees and special guests to follow in the coming weeks..
