#SPOTTED: RACHEL PLATTEN IN TORONTO
It was impossible to avoid the success of her worldwide hit FIGHT SONG this Summer and now Massachusetts-born Rachel Platten is ready to prove her mettle, throwing out another hit.
Major label recognition came a bit late for the gorgeous singer/songwriter who got her big breakthrough at age 34, but when it happened, we all took notice very quickly. Taylor Swift would soon be professing her love, donning a "THIS IS MY FIGHT SONG" shirt and having Platten join her onstage. Love it or not, when ...

#NEWMUSIC: JILL HENNESSY – “I DO”
Many of us know Edmonton-born Actress Jill Hennessy for her brilliant work on series like LUCK, CROSSING JORDAN and LAW & ORDER, but many forget that she actually is a bona fide musician.

#NEWMUSIC: LADY GAGA – “I WANT YOUR LOVE”
I so miss Lady Gaga doing what she does best - dance pop. Chic's I Want Your Love is one of my favourite tracks of all time. Gaga and Tom Ford have teamed together for his Spring/Summer 2016 collection and she recorded a cover of the Disco Classic and even appears in a promotional video directed by Nick Knight for the collection featuring a roster of beauty - all sporting Ford on an electrifying dancing runway.
See the Masterpiece Video!

#NEWMUSIC: HALSEY – “NEW AMERICANA”
I've been so incredibly busy of late that I've forgotten to post about this. If you're really into Pop, you already know about Halsey, the 21-year-old blue-haired New Jersey native, whose star is rising at a rapid rate. Her video for debut single New Americana solidifies her star power and if you haven't seen the Hunger Games-esque homage, you MUST.

#SPOTTED: JESS GLYNNE IN TORONTO FOR “AIN’T GOT FAR TO GO” TOUR
There is no new artist I adore more than Jess Glynne. It's undeniable that the landscape of pop music has changed so much over the past few years and while there are many faceless singers featured on tracks by red-hot producers or dance acts, something about the vivacious 25-year-old redhead that is different.
Rather Be by Clean Bandit infiltrated North American airwaves last summer to much success, going-on to win them and Glynne, who provided vocals, a coveted Grammy. It's time for ...
