I guess the scene hasn't been particularly bad, but it just hasn't been very existent, either. I've had to dive back into previous years multiple times this year because I haven't been able to find a single current Canadian hit on the current Canadian chart. What we really need is to have someone bring back the cool, eclectic music that Canada used to treasure. Bring back Rush and Neil Young. Maestro Fresh Wes and The Rascalz. k-os and Our Lady Peace. Let's make Canadian music exciting again, dammit! But who can do it?
But... but... he's not Canadian! Much as I'd like him to be, he's not! What could he possibly do for us?
Oh.
Ooh.
Yeeeeaaah.
Hey all you Americans! Did you miss Justin Timberlake? Well, it's too bad, because you see, we took him and we put him into a 19-year-old Canadian's body! That Canadian is Francesco Yates, and he's got a hot new single out called "Better to be Loved".
Produced by Pharrell Williams, this song bounces all the way through. It's a true breath of fresh air in the somewhat stagnant Canadian music scene. I mean, the last thing I was expecting to pop up as a Canadian hit was a little white boy credibly singing funk music.
And he just... he just came out of nowhere! It's almost as if Canada itself was becoming self-aware of how mediocre its musical scene was getting, so they randomly decided to give us this artist to make a hit song that actually swings!
That thumping beat... that twanging guitar... it all works so well! This song is why I'm proud to be Canadian. Francesco Yates, I hope to see a lot more from you. It's really nice to see that Canada can make up for Justin Bieber by producing this later. Good on ya, Canada. Good work.
