DRAKE JENSEN, Nova Scotian and acclaimed Nashville recording artist, releases a cover of Corey Hart’s iconic hit “Never Surrender” in a compelling duet with Ottawa artist Lisa Thompson of the band Sovereign Council. The release is accompanied by an equally compelling video; both are dedicated to the front-line workers that helped the world through this challenging year.
2020 the year of the Indie artist
And just like that 2020 is in the past and a new year is upon us. As every spends the day struggling with the resolutions they made last night let’s take a look back at the year that was. 2020 was a year that the entertainment industry went dark. Theatres, stadiums all sat empty and the super successful artists, who make millions of dollars in royalties in their sleep, were on every TV telling us that we’re in this together while yet to be established artists lost sleep over where they’d find money for rent or food now that they’re primary income source, gigs, had dried up.
Feature Artist: Drake Jensen continues to receive praise for his latest single “Burn The Floor”
As we close out pride month we felt it would be appropriate to feature the latest music from our friend, and client, Drake Jensen. We were introduced to Ottawa based country artist Drake Jensen through one of our photographers and started working with Drake to help promote the release of his latest single “Burn The Floor”. Drake has been receiving praise from around the world for the video that accompanies the single critics calling it a pure celebration of queer identity. Billboard Magazine said “If you thought that modern country and queer clubbing don’t go together, you thought wrong. In his new video for “Burn the Floor,” Canadian country singer Drake Jensen chooses a seemingly typical country bar as the backdrop to his country-twinged song, but with various members of the LGBTQ club community taking over to have the night of their lives and, yes, “Burn the Floor.”
