Charlotte Cornfield shares new single, ‘Storm Clouds’

About The Song: “This song was the catalyst for everything else. It was the first thing I recorded in Banff, a few days after arriving. I had been carrying around the “storm clouds, elation, desire, mania, darkness” refrain for a long time – it’s a personal meditation. But I have this habit of not finishing songs until I have to, so it took being in the studio to pull it all together. I couldn’t figure out how to end it and then Brendan Canning suggested bringing back the refrain and that just felt right.”

Madchild drops video for Times Change

Quote from Madchild: “Times Change is one of my favorite songs from my upcoming album Demons.

I had a lot on my plate and partying every night certainly didn’t help the way I conducted myself. It can get overwhelming when you’re doing close to 200 shows in a years time. I feel this is a powerful song that I’m excited for people to hear finally hear it.”
