Metric, Arkells and Nova Scotia's own Classified and Ria Mae in a glossy night-out mix. Windows down, heading somewhere fun.
Blue Moon is a proudly Canadian, mostly modern mix of indie rock, pop and hip-hop with a lot of Maritime flavour. Metric leads with seven songs, including “Help I’m Alive” and “Dead Disco,” while Nova Scotia’s own Classified and Ria Mae each show up several times, together on “Thoughts on Fire” and separately on tracks like “Ooh Love” and “Oh…Canada.”
Arkells and Fitz and The Tantrums bring the hooks and horns, JRDN adds some smooth R&B with “U Can Have It All,” and Neon Dreams teams up with Ria Mae for good measure. The whole thing has a night-out energy: catchy, a little glossy, and easy to move to without being a full-on dance party. It’s 39 songs that feel like a summer evening in Halifax, windows down, heading somewhere fun. Great for pre-game music, a kitchen dance or a reminder that some of the best pop around comes from right here on the East Coast. Put it on and see how long it takes before you’re humming “Ooh Love.”
