KELLIE LODER SHARES NEW SINGLE FROM UPCOMING LP, TRANSITIONS OUT APRIL 19, 2024
Kellie Loder has shared the final advance single, “The Month Of May”, from their upcoming album, Transitions, out April 19.
“I love saying the title to this song out loud just as much as I love singing it,” says Loder. “Artists, and lots of other people, are big feelers. We can’t stow our emotions on shelves or pack it in bags and just not look at it. We have to feel it even if it means being sad through the summer because our hearts got broken in the month of May”.
There is something truly captivating about the JUNO Award nominee and the ECMA 2023 Songwriter and Fan’s Choice Entertainer of the Year Kellie Loder. Their lyrical brilliance is honest and vulnerable in ways that make the music feel deeply personal lending to their unmatched songwriting prowess, and distinctive blend of folk, Americana, and indie pop influences. Inspiring profound emotion among audiences with their heartfelt songs, playful charm, and exhilarating live show, Loder is nothing short of, “a bona fide entertainer,” (theindependent.ca)
Loder’s new album, Transitions, follows on the heels of their award-winning release, Benefit of The Doubt (2018), offering a stunningly crafted masterpiece of original songs with stories of love, heartbreak, life, and transitions. “When It Comes to You”, the lead single charted in the coveted #1 spot on CBC Music’s Top 20 and the chart’s #1 most-voted-for song of 2023, gives listeners a glimpse of the pure authenticity of one of Newfoundland’s most promising and celebrated songwriters. As spoken by Howie Mandal and Simon Cowell (Canada’s Got Talent), Loder has a bright future ahead, and one thing is for certain, Kellie Loder is a towering talent about to explode on the world stage.
Loder’s signature sound coupled with their magnetic stage presence has earned them notable accolades including multiple East Coast Music Awards, placing first-runner-up on Canada’s Got Talent (2022), and co-writing with household names such as Alan Doyle, Steven Page, The Good Lovelies, and Grammy award-winning musician and producer, Greg Wells alongside many others. The empowering anthem, “Fearless” was used as the music soundtrack behind the CBC’s Tokyo Olympics coverage and in the Superpower Dogs IMAX Trailer narrated by Chris Evans (Captain America/Avengers). Their groundbreaking video and compelling song “Molded Like A Monster” was recognized with the 2021 ECMA Video of the Year Award and the MusicNL Ron Hynes Songwriter of the Year Award. Loder has toured with Donovan Woods, Serena Ryder, Joel Plaskett, and more. Watch for 2024 tour dates in support of Transitions to be announced soon.
