Last night was the Juno Awards, Canada’s Grammys. I have been really out of the loop when it comes to contemporary Canadian artists so I thought I’d spend the next couple of days getting caught up with some of the winners.
Charlotte Cardin won Album of the Year for 99 Nights. This song, Confetti, was her big hit, charting not only in Canada but in the US as well. According to Cardin:
“Confetti’ is an ode to introverts. I had the realization that at every single party I had ever been to, I would lock myself in the bathroom at some point and try to compose myself and gather my thoughts. And when I became aware of that, I thought “okay I should write a song about this”. It’s a party track for people who hate actually being at the party.”
It was produced by the team at her label Cult Nation: Jason Brando, Lubalin, Rob Grimaldi, and Sam Avant. Brando and Lubalin also share writing credits with her. Everyone involved is based out of Montreal and Cardin has been their biggest success.
Here’s her Juno performance from last night.
Enjoy your song of the day!
