24kGoldn – This spring, San Francisco’s multi-talented artist 24kGoldn returned with his sophomore album Growing Pains. Perhaps best known for his impossibly catchy 2020 hit single “Mood” with Iann Dior, 24kGoldn has evolved so much since then. The new album sees the 23-year-old singer-rapper taking an introspective approach and navigating the complexities of fame and self-discovery in this neat 7-track project. Tracks like “Good Intentions” offer a candid glimpse into 24kGoldn’s perspective, further driven home by the accompanying self-directed video. With a palette way beyond the crossover pop-rap hit that brought him to global stardom, 24kGoldn emerges as a budding auteur and creative force. His Growing Pains Tour rolls through Toronto on June 16 at Velvet Underground, offering fans the opportunity to witness his artistic evolution firsthand. You don’t want to miss it.
Doors open at 7 PM. You can get tickets here.

Bat For Lashes – London-based artist Natasha Khan, best known as Bat For Lashes, just dropped her sixth studio album The Dream Of Delphi. Exploring parenthood’s depths, she embodies the Motherwitch, a protector amidst life’s existential wonders. Her poignant lyrics reflect on a breakup and the cyclical nature of existence, all while weaving mystical ancient and modern sounds. Influenced by trailblazing artists like Delia Derbyshire, Constance Demby, and Beverly Glenn Copeland, the album merges pianos, flutes, and synths in mesmerizing arrangements. Khan’s creative vision extends to an accompanying film The Dream of Delphi – A New Transmission, a visceral journey choreographed by Alexandra Green. This visual narrative delves into the rawness of childbirth and the mythic revelations of motherhood, capturing intimacy and transformation with evocative dance theatre. Really compelling stuff!
