On July 29th, Sam Casey drops her first original single and video, New Company. Produced and co-written by Bristol, UK based Joe Thompson, the song details Sam’s realization that someone she was seeing was never going to give her the time and commitment that she needed from them. So, she wrote New Company late one night in her dorm room during her first year at university.

Martha and the Muffins Release New Single & Video

Martha and the Muffins’ new single is an effervescent version of the English Beat song Save It For Later. It is from the forthcoming COVERAMA album which is being released on our Confidence Emperors record label imprint. “We originally recorded Save It For Later at the suggestion of a UK music supervisor to pitch for the season 3 trailer of the Netflix series Sex Education. Between Martha’s vocal arrangements and the guitars and keyboards, there are a lot of additional little hooks that didn’t exist in the original that we think makes our version almost like an early Martha and the Muffins song.”

Sam Casey Releases Debut Single & Video

I’d Rather Go Blind is the debut single and video for Toronto based artist Sam Casey. “I have been performing this song for years in venues around Toronto as it is one of my favourite songs and lyrically hits me at my core.  To be able to record an original rendition of the track that fits my exact feelings when listening to the lyrics was a dream and a privilege. The feelings that emanate from this song are so human and deep inside that singing this can bring me to tears. I can only hope listeners will feel this same connection.” Since being introduced to us by mutual friend Kim Cooke of Revolution Recording, Sam has collaborated with UK producer/songwriter Joe Thompson, Canadian producer/songwriter Mike Schlosser (John Orpheus) and Martha Johnson and Mark Gane of Martha and the Muffins.

We have known Juliana Eye since she was a teenager. It has been amazing to watch her grow as a singer, songwriter, musician and producer since her early days in The Ruby Spirit and as an accompanist for Ghost Caravan. For the forthcoming COVERAMA album, she has recorded one of her favourite songs, Dreaming by Blondie. She has also collaborated with another former member of The Ruby Spirit, filmmaker Jason Cipparrone, who directed the cool black and white video that was shot in Juliana’s basement.

Alex Exists Debut Single Available On All Platforms March 18th

Glam Pop, Pop, Rock n Roll

This Friday, we are releasing the debut single by Alex Exists. Rock On is a “fun exercise in rock n roll post-mortem revival with an unexpectedly modern twist”. This rambunctious version of the David Essex classic was inspired by the idea that, “if aliens came to earth years after rock n roll died, found this record, fell in love with it, took it back to their planet and started making their own interpretations of it, how might it sound?”

John Orpheus Releases New Single and Video

Our boutique record label, The Confidence Emperors, releases the new John Orpheus single and video House of Cards today. It is John’s unique AfroPop version of the Radiohead song from their In Rainbows album. On what inspired him to interpret House of Cards, he says, “The lyric of the chorus is really the soul of the tune: ‘Forget about your house of cards and I’ll do mine.’ It implies the difficulty, the near impossibility of trust in new relationships. The incredible exposure we put ourselves through for them and the leap of faith required to fully surrender to the promise of love.”

The single was produced and mixed by our very own Mike Schlosser. You can check out House of Cards here:

New Album From John Orpheus

It has been an amazing year so far for John Orpheus. In January, Penguin Random House Canada launched his book Saga Boy and then we released his thematically linked and powerfully emotional single Fela Awoke (I Will Miss You). Recently, we released the single and hyper-fun video for IG. The video was a trip and, if you haven’t seen it, head to YouTube right now! Next came the lyric video for We Nah Worry Bout Dat, and (finally) the album Saga King on July 30. You can dance, get sexy and, as John would say, do all the tings to his music!
