It’s been a long fight. The music industry has been upended, and our lives along with it. But in the most challenging of years, some voices still managed to stand out, either lifting us out of the darkness or resonating with us during a time of unrest. Good music really hit different in 2020. And in Canada, […]

Jessie Reyez had big things planned for 2020. The Columbian-Canadian R&B singer was poised for full-blown superstardom as the year kicked off, touring with Billie Ellish and releasing her hugely anticipated album Before Love Came to Kill Us—which we spoke with her about earlier this year—with Universal. Then, of course, the coronavirus pandemic hit—and the […]

​​​​​​If anyone’s got an informed opinion on the current state of the music industry, it’s Zane Lowe. The New Zealand-born DJ-turned-host certainly has the CV for it: he’s renowned for his intimate one-on-ones with the world’s biggest artists (first on BBC Radio 1, then on Apple Music’s Beats 1) and is currently the global creative director of Apple Music. So […]

Lil Wayne is trying to make your weekend a little more interesting. The Young Money executive just aired the first episode of his new Beats 1 radio show Young Money Radio tonight and was joined by Deion Sanders and New Orleans’ mayor LaToya Cantrell plus special guest call-in’s from Lil Baby, Travis Scott, Jessie Reyez, and Babyface. Wayne covered a […]

March 2020 is turning out to be a great month for new music. This week, PARTYNEXTDOOR finally treated fans to his long-awaited studio album PARTYMOBILE. The project even features surprise vocals from Rihanna, her first collaboration in years. Murda Beatz rallied YNW Melly and Lil Durk for “Banana Split.” Nav, Travis Scott, and Gunna linked […]

Junia-T’s solo salvo Studio Monk was a record that almost never came to fruition. Mired in a creative funk in the wake of the release of his 2014 album Eye See You, the Toronto via Mississauga MC was on the brink of quitting music for good. However, linking with Toronto music maven Addy Papa’s Riot […]

Canada’s own Jessie Reyez is attending the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards as a first-time nominee. Her EP Being Human in Public is up for Best Urban Contemporary Album, pitting her against the likes of Lizzo and Steve Lacy. Ahead of Reyez’ big night, Complex Canada caught up with the singer-songwriter’s stylist, Steph Major, to get an insider look at […]

Let’s just get it out of the way now: this list will piss some of you off. Chances are you’ll let us know about it in the comments section. “Y’all left out [insert name of local rapper with a decent Instagram following here]!! This whole list trash,” you’ll write. Maybe you’ll use an expletive; maybe you’ll add a […]

Jessie Reyez has shared another taste of her long-awaited debut album. Fresh off the release of her “No Sweat” record, the 28-year-old artist has gifted fans with the emotional single “Love in the Dark.” “I wrote this during a really sad time in my life, I remember crying,” Reyez said in a statement. “I hope people understand […]

By my math, a grand total of eight Canadian artists were nominated for Grammy Awards in 2020. And while some are already mainstays on the Grammy circuit—looking at you, Drake and Bublé—the 62nd annual Grammy Awards will see up-and-coming Canuck artists like Jessie Reyez (receiving her first-ever nomination) and Daniel Caesar (defending his 2019 Best […]
