Patrick Watson has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 from every ticket sold will go to local organizations working to fight hunger and food insecurity in their communities.What is life but an endless series of uh ohs? From our earliest childhood accidents to our most overwhelming adult anxieties, its a little phrase that looms large throughout our existence. En route to making his new album, Montreal indie-pop maestro Patrick Watson was faced with the biggest uh oh a professional singer could endure.One morning in the winter of 2023, Patrick woke up to discover that his voicethe angelic instrument that propelled 2006s carnivalesque art-rock opus Close to Paradise to the Polaris Music Prize winners podium and turned his piano lullaby Je te laisserai des mots into the first Francophone track ever to surpass a billion streams on Spotifyhad gone completely kaputt.Obviously, I like singing for people, but I was really enjoying my Modular [synth] and diving into instrumental musica natural inclination for Patrick, whos composed over 15 film scores to date. But then I was like, Oh, itd be cool to write songs for all these different singers that I really want to hear singIll find my way out of this situation that way. Because my voice wasnt supposed to come back. And when it did, I just thought having all these other singers featured was still a cooler idea for a record than me singing alone.
