More good music from MTL’s KALLITECHNIS….
We posted the single back in May but here goes an EXCLUSIVE World Premiere of the video for “Desert Rose”, the single previous to the current online viral hit (currently #7 on the HypeMachine chart), “magic on my pillow” from Brooklyn-by-way-of-Philly artist and new Kitchen fave, Yellow Shoots.
Both tracks come from the forthcoming album, everything due out next week on July 23 (yes, that’s a Monday, not the usual Friday release). Want to know why you should start your week off with this stack of funk/soul/pop/rock goodness as your soundtrack? Just hit play on that video for the answer!

Meanwhile, the other exploding viral challenge has been responsible for rocket launching activity on my normally pretty sleepy Instagram page.
“Damn it feels good to be back
Damn it feels good to be black
They keep on killing us
We just keep killing it…”
For his new album, polymath emcee Shad has vibrantly imagined and created an entirely new world. A Short Story About A War releases October 26 on Secret City Records. This concept album holds a mirror to our world – a provocative story told through disarmingly catchy songs that weaves through issues of migration, environment, politics and above all, the human spirit.
The album was created in collaboration with dozens of musicians and engineers: From luminaries like Kaytranada, 2oolman of A Tribe Called Red, and Lido Pimienta, to crafty indie rockers Yukon Blonde, and Toronto rap veterans Ian Kamau, Eternia, and DJ T Lo. Their contributions bring multiple textures and colours to Shad’s singular vision.
He’s been busy over the past few years with a stint hosting the preeminent Canadian radio talk show and an Emmy/Peabody-award winning documentary series, so welcome back (to rapping), Shad!!!
New track and video from one of our favorites from the hometown and a near birthday twin for our capo here at the Kitchen (she’s the 11th, he’s the 10th) so belated Happy Birthday, Alessia!
