With the release of “Sing Me a Song,” William Prince and Serena Ryder cement a blossoming friendship and collaborative relationship that has been growing since they shared the stage to perform Prince’s “The Spark” at the 2021 JUNO Awards. In “Sing Me a Song,” the two master songwriters add together call and response verses that create a powerful equation for the magic of young love’s early encounters.

In her new video for “Truth Be Told,” the song’s theme of radical self-acceptance comes to life as Skye Wallace rocks out in a kaleidoscope of colourful identities, each one fitting like a glove. It takes guts to embrace who you are, flaws and all.
