Through the prism of alternative R&B, house, and pop, Caribbean-Canadian vocalist/producer/multi-instrumentalist Janette King’s What We Lost unpacks the complexities of grief with a wisdom you wouldn’t wish on someone so young. It’s a statement that—like contemporaries Victoria Monét and Snoh Aalegra—fuses deeply personal assessments of life with glass-half-full soundscapes that “ought to place her right near the top of the list of this country’s up-and-coming R&B artists” (Exclaim!). In 2023, Janette wrote and performed on two tracks off Gayance’s Polaris Prize-shortlisted album Mascarade, and released the dance EP How Sad in to celebrate Pride Month. Ahead of a much-anticipated sophomore album to be released this October, she’s joined by Alex Dobson bass, Jonny Tobin keys, and Ian Cardona drums.
