Filled with curiosity and questions of identity, Toronto’s Brighid Fry (she/ they) makes the sort of indie-leaning, exploratory music that it’s taken several years of early success and subsequent growth to reach. First breaking through in her teens as one half of Moscow Apartment, the duo swiftly won a Canadian Folk Music award for their self-titled debut EP before changing their name to Housewife, which became a solo project in late 2022. As Brighid hit her twenties and stepped front and centre, the material that she was writing became increasingly more self-aware and personal, too. On new EP Girl Of The Hour, Housewife is addressing these facets more than ever. But although these six tracks of earworm grunge-pop are a real time document of an artist growing and changing – figuring out some vital parts of themself along the way – the predominant vibe is one that’s playful and inquisitive. More than ever, Brighid Fry knows herself and the result is a project that’s getting more confident in the idiosyncrasies of its own skin by the day. “Some people say that this music is political or it has very strong messaging and I think that’s great,” she says, “but really for me, it’s just a way to process life.”

Luella is the musical project of 20-year-old Kingston-based artist Liv Whitfield. Her soulful dream-pop sound is the product of a unique collaboration with her producer and father, Zane Whitfield (The Blue Stones, The Glorious Sons, Kathleen Edwards), most notable for catchy baselines, crisp vocals and honest lyrics. In June 2024, she released and toured her sophomore album, Summer Bummer, a love letter to her final years of girlhood, capturing the bittersweet essence of fleeting summers and the complexities of first love and inevitable heartbreak. This album is bolder with a newfound confidence all while staying true to her trademark vulnerability. Luella is currently working on her next project, with plans to release new music ahead of her summer 2025 tour.
