Keira Gray – “After You”

Raised in Red Earth Creek, Alberta, this emerging Canadian singer and songwriter wanted to be an artist since she was a little girl. She spent her childhood teaching herself to sing popular songs of the time. Currently she’s living in Slave Lake, Alberta, where she still works as a server for her daytime job. When she’s not working, she’s writing and recording her songs. Inspired by Ariana Grande, Rihanna and Christina Aguilera, she released her debut “Summer Lovin’ With You” in 2023.

Inspired by her true-life experience of dating a guy who turned out to be moving on from girl to girl without any remorse or care about their feelings, her new single is honest and therapeutic. Telling her story over an emotive melody, the song starts with melancholic guitar strums. Leading to an anthemic chorus, she adds a lively percussion, country-esque guitars and smooth harmonies. And with her infectious vocals, this radio-ready tune is a captivating piece of modern pop.

Since he’s played festivals like Glastonbury and Isle Of Wight. and supported Nick Lowe and Suzanne Vega. Inspired by Sam Cooke, Bob Dylan and Paolo Nutini, he debuted with his EP “Stop And Think About It” in 2020.

Narrating the relatable realisation that, as time progresses, you don’t have that much in common any more with people you once called a friend, his new single captures a sadness from the subject matter in an upbeat melody. With an infatuating rhythm, 80s-inspired neon-dipped synths and fresh guitars, he forges a dynamic retro tune. And with winsome harmonies and the warmth of his charismatic vocals, this captivating song is both delightfully vintage and engagingly modern.
