As the Coronavirus pandemic spread around the world, Martha Johnson and Mark Gane of Martha and the Muffins decided to challenge themselves by reimagining their song Come Out and Dance from the Mystery Walk album and ended up creating a whole new track called Stay Home and Dance. This coincided with Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi saying at an April 2^nd press conference that “You can never dance too much, especially when you’re home.” With a new dance groove, the duo dedicates Stay Home and Dance to all the doctors, nurses, first responders, farmers, truckers, factory and postal workers and the countless others who are keeping it together for all of us.

The video for the song has an interesting origin. Back when Mark Gane was working in a wallpaper factory for the summer and wrote Echo Beach, he “liberated” some extra wallpaper and, inspired by the artist Christo, decided to cover his parents’ house in wallpaper while they were away on vacation. The never-before-seen footage of the event has been incorporated into the video along with footage of Mark and Martha Johnson’s daughter Eve and her cousins as toddlers dancing inside their house.

Popguru Signs Zoe Xandra For Sync Representation

We are happy to announce that we have signed Toronto-based singer/songwriter Zoe Xandra for sync representation. Her forthcoming EP is called TMI (which stands for Too Much Information) because, in her opinion, it is. She says that, “I’m generally not an openly emotional person or the first one to share my inner thoughts. Each song is personal to me and relates to different life lessons that I’ve gone through. Releasing these personal songs is so out of my comfort zone that it just felt like TMI.” On the EP, Zoe was able to really experiment with different sounds from super stripped back piano and vocals to electronic synth sounds and back to acoustic guitar while still having a cohesive story come through each track including the previously released singles Tokyo, Blah Blah and Better Off Alone.
