“Radio” – A Collaborative Single by N2O, Alan Parsons and Robert Frances Supporting the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada
First introduced live last spring at Place des Arts during The Alan Parsons Live Project concert, Music is Medicine—the movement founded by Robert Frances, CEO of PEAK Financial Group and member of the band N2O—continues to grow with the release of Radio, a song by N2O produced and mixed by the legendary Alan Parsons.
Net proceeds from the project will be donated to the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada to advance research, education and patient support programs.
Produced and mixed by Alan Parsons, Radio is an emotional song inspired by connection, memory and hope. It captures the spirit of Music is Medicine, transforming music into a force for unity and courage.
“Losing a friend and bandmate to brain cancer had a profound impact on me,” said Robert Frances. “I wanted to turn that experience into something meaningful. Working with Alan on Radio brought that vision to life.”
The release of Radio follows the sold-out benefit concert by The Alan Parsons Live Project held on May 14 at Place des Arts, which raised more than $600,000 for brain cancer research and marked the official launch of Music is Medicine.
“It was a privilege to collaborate with N2O,” said Alan Parsons. “Knowing the story behind David’s lyrics makes Radio even more powerful. It is an honest and timeless song that proves music connects generations.”
Written by David Tondino (lyrics) and composed by N2O (music), Radio was inspired by the Beatles whose songs David listened to growing up. He later revisited the piece as a dialogue with the music that shaped him, reflecting on time, creativity and the comfort that music brings.
The recording features the musicians of The Alan Parsons Live Project under Parsons’ direction, who also produced and mixed the track.
Distributed by LANDR, Radio is available now on all major streaming platforms. Net proceeds will be directed to the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada to support research, awareness and assistance for patients and their families.
