Kandle Brings A Timeless Lynchian Portrayal Of Heartbreak Gone Wrong To The Screen In New Video For “When It Hurts”

Today, JUNO nominee Kandle has shared the latest glimpse into the expanding Set The Fire universe of music videos with a timeless, Lynchian portrayal of a love gone wrong for “When It Hurts.” Starring Kandle and actor/musician, Keenan Tracey (known for his roles in The 100Bates Motel and will star in upcoming series, Day Of The Dead) the two are stuck in a time loop of paralysis — afraid to leave due to the fear of the unknown.

Kandle’s passion for visual storytelling is on full display, as every set was built in the confinement of Kandle’s apartment in Vancouver. The result is a haunted retro dreamscape created by patch-working together clever sets, thematic lighting, and a collection of props sourced through thrift stores and flea markets informed by films like Paris, Texas, and Blue Velvet — favorites of director Brandon William Fletcher.

Last year, the daughter of 54-40’s Neil Osborne crafted an EP during quarantine — produced w/ Martin “Youth” Glover (Paul McCartney, Kate Bush, The Verve), Liam O’Neil, and Warne Livesey (Midnight Oil, Matthew Goode). She was also in Jack White’s “Corporation” video and recently featured in Netflix’s Tiny Pretty Things.

Kandle also started a collection of drawings capturing some experiences faced by women in music – like these here.

MTS Management Group artists celebrates friendship with new release “A Song for My Friends”

MTS Management Group artists’ latest release, “A Song for My Friends,” is a happy, upbeat song that captures the magic of being together, celebrating, and remembering. The track has a contagious energy that is like the spirit of late-night jam sessions and sing-alongs that happen out of the blue. The production is clean and smooth, but also laid-back.

The tune of “A Song for My Friends” is a toast, and it’s clear what the band wants. A party for the people who have been there since the beginning, the fans who keep coming back, and the nights that artists will never forget that remind them why they fell in love with music in the first place.

“A Song for My Friends” stands out in a world full of overproduced singles because it has heart, energy, and honesty. It’s a moment we shared that I put in a bottle and sent to you with a chorus that you’ll be singing long after the music stops.

Michael Soul hides from being open with new release “Hiding”

Michael Soul

Michael Soul’s new single, “Hiding,” is a dark, hypnotic electronic track that takes listeners to a private place in their minds where they are alone, thinking, and feeling upset. “Hiding” was written when the author was very lonely. Michael Soul turns days of being alone, when silence seemed to last forever, and connection seemed impossible, into an immersive sound.

Andrea Mastroiacovo’s polished work makes the single even better, clarifying and deepening the song’s dark mood. The production carefully reflects that emotional weight with simple textures and dark electronic sounds that make you feel like you’re alone with your thoughts.

“Hiding” is a song about feeling alone, scared, and wanting to hide from being open. It asks questions that are quiet but sharp, like why do we hide what we feel? How does fear ruin love? And can we stop going in circles of misunderstanding and emotional distance? These echoes linger long after the track ends, prolonging the sound.
