#EDITORSNOTE: TEAM MR. WILL TOP TENS OF 2021

Truly, the Films that made the cut in 2021 truly were outstanding as they had to shine amongst a quality slate of releases. Though it seems we're making one ... Read more

#EDITORSNOTE: TOP TEN SINGLES OF 2020

2020 was a year indeed, but despite being filled with one tough blow after another, Music was there for us to guide us through these challenging times. While some of the year's biggest smash hits turn back to the drumbeats and synths of the '80s for inspiration, this is a good thing as that nostalgia translates to happiness and dancing. While nothing beats a great Music Video, we're seeing that the success of a single doesn't necessarily depend on a flashy video. In fact, Megan Thee ... Read more

#NEWMUSIC: MR. WILL – “BALLADEER”

The Covid-19 pandemic has given me a chance to re-ignite my love of singing. Many weren't aware but in a past life I spent many years competing in singing competitions north and south of the Border, winning trips to Asia twice. I recorded a couple projects and even signed a deal with an international publisher. To this day it brings me a smile when super-modest royalty cheques arrive in the mail. balladeer is a collection of covers I recorded in my bedroom during this isolation period. No ... Read more
