Tiffany Devonish – ‘Tis The Season [Review]

Tags

artist, Canada, Christmas, Montreal, Music, Musician, Ottawa, pop, R&B, Review, singer, Tiffany Devonish

It is that time of year to gather with family and friends to pop in some Christmas and holiday tunes.
Ottawa musician Tiffany Devonish drops and 4-track EP called ‘Tis The Season.
She decided to gift us with graceful, ear-candy R&B/Soul takes on her favorite Christmas classics.
Pure yet powerful, soulful and effortless, her vocals meshed with impeccable production,
‘Tis The Season’ gives a modern twist on maybe overheard but never tiring holiday music.
Tiffany proves us once again that age is just a number, singing with the chops of our greatest songstress, such as Aretha Franklin.
Nice to play in the background for a party or with a loved one.

sam. – Wreck My Soul [Music Video]

Tags

2018, artist, Canada, Music, Music Video, Musician, pop, R&B, sam., singer, Toronto, Wreck My Soul

Hailing from Toronto.
Stacy Samuel struggled with mental illness for a long time before she seriously attempted music. However, she always knew writing and singing was destined outlets to express her journey through hypersensitivity and cope with the outcomes of showing vulnerability in a stone cold era. Her artist name, sam. is testifying of the work she’s put through herself for her craft, and here today she is the most confident and affirmed version of herself.
Wreck My Soul is a self-produced downcast R&B lingering through dark and light, with a sensual appeal and hypnotic vocals.
“’Wreck My Soul’ looks grim and painful. It was a time period like no other with little light in my life. Yet through creative expression, I found my own light to shine bright enough to get me out of the hole I was in.” About derealization and depersonalization, ‘Wreck My Soul’ is about a struggle sam. still deals with on the daily. Writing about it gave her a sense of calmness, an outlet to sing about her life feeling so wrong. “Like someone might listen and understand that this is just a symptom of a condition that people experience and I’m not crazy or alone.” When she sings about “the ones that claim to love you also just prolong the pain”, sam. reminisces through a dark phase where she wanted to end it, while everyone around that loved her wanted to keep her alive: “It pissed me off because I felt they could not understand, but made me appreciate them more at the same time, later on.”
Watch the music video to this haunting track.

I’d give the track:
/10

Tiffany Devonish – Apology [Listen]

2018, artist, Canada, Montreal, Music, Musician, Ottawa, pop, R&B, singer, Single, Tiffany Devonish

Tiffany Devonish is a musician currently living in Ottawa.
Brkn is her 2017 debut album that is filled with electro R&B Pop music.
The second single to drop from that album is Apology.
About the catchy track “Apology”:
Tiffany reflects on people who have done her wrong, and left her life without closure. “An apology is incredibly powerful and is something that a lot of people are either too stubborn to give or too prideful to ask for. I wrote this song as an anthem for those who are in need apology, those who need nothing more, nothing less”.
Have a listen to the song.
