Roy Orbison ~ The Heartbreak and Desire in ‘Mystery Girl’

Roy Orbison’s ‘Mystery Girl’ stands the test of time from beginning to end: the songs are all about heartbreak, desire and dreams.

A fresh and appealing voice in contemporary pop, Paitra combines distinctive melodies with a vintage feel.

Alt-rocker, alt-country, alt-folk, genre-defying John Borra’s latest release is a poetic barn-burner.

The three works on the album for string quartet performance provide an exciting survey of Montréal’s young generation of composers.

The first release from new jazz label Lit Soc showcases Toronto saxophonist Patrick Smith.

On their fifth album, The National fulfilled all the promise of their earlier work, with stronger songs and a surprising execution.
