Stephen Fearing’s 13th solo album The Unconquerable Past adds another unique chapter to the multi-JUNO Award winner’s impressive body of work. It’s also a striking and often surprising example of his restless creative spirit.

The Unconquerable Past finds Fearing stepping back into the wide-screen world of layered instruments and arrangements in collaboration with Winnipeg-based producer/songwriter Scott Nolan (William Prince, Mary Gauthier, Hayes Carll) and a superb group of players featuring acclaimed pianist Jeremy Rusu, bassist Julian Bradford, drummer Christian Dugas, vocalist Andrina Turrene, and Nashville’s legendary multi-instrumentalist Jim Hoke.

R&B/pop singer Sandra Bouza has a lot to offer through her music and life experience. On her forthcoming LP, Falling Away From Me, produced by Hill Kourkoutis (SATE, Jules) and available in January 2020, the Toronto native who has lived, studied or worked all over the world, lets her stories breathe in songs that are deeply personal.

The album’s eight tracks together build on the deep grooves of her previous EP Three Years, showing off Sandra’s sultry, soulful vocals. But what really shines through, on standout tracks such as “Almost Love,” “Losing You” and “East Side Woman,” is Sandra’s ability to lyrically examine relationships from all angles—from the thrill of discovery to the fallout of poor decisions. These are songs rooted in hard-earned experience, a badge of honour Sandra wears with pride.
