News: Broadtree releases "Inevitable"

-

 Broadtree

Broadtree is a pop-country duo consisting of singer-songwriters Armand Antony & Nicole McCafferty. They have created a unique blend of stylized storytelling over a bed of catchy pop country with subject matter that often breaks the norms of the genre. The duo also openly supports several causes, speaking out about racial equality, Canadian First Nations rights, the  LGBTQ+ community, while keeping an open line of contact for anyone looking to learn or talk  about mental health and illness.

In 2021, Broadtree released a lot of new awesome music. Among all, I'd like to mention the album "Feeling Bad. Feeling Better", written in the midst of the COVID pandemic. While experiencing the loss of the industry they live and breathe, having their mental health strongly challenged, and having their relationships with others and themselves tested over the past year, the pair have found solace in songs about finding hope in the most dire of situations. "Feeling Bad. Feeling Better" is a statement about getting through the unknown, discovering who you are in this strange new world, and starting over for the better. 

On February 18th, Broadtree released their latest single: "Inevitable". Although the meaning of the song might be melancholic and heartbreaking, the couple is always able to convey slight, positive vibes that you can feel among their voices, like a sort of feeling of hope and light that pervade all their releases and characterizes their sound. With their signature charisma and chemistry, whether performing as an acoustic duo or with their full band, Broadtree delivers a unique, high-energy, and heartfelt set that will have you cheering, dancing and singing along!

About "Inevitable", Armand and Nicole say: "Two lifelong friends, share a special bond, one that others will never experience or understand. But in an instant, everything can change. How does one explain a feeling they know they shouldn’t feel? How does one express a passion that they know will end in heartbreak? Can a lifetime of companionship survive a romance that will never be? "Inevitable" explores curiosity, love, the heartbreak of realizing that what feels meant to be may become nothing more than a "what if?", and the unavoidable change it brings to a friendship that once seemed impossible to damage".

"Inevitable"

I can tell you anything
You’ve told me that for years
I know all your secrets
You know all my fears
But some things are off limits
Some things that I can’t tell
They call it falling slowly
I call it something else

Can I stay beside you?
Will it ever be enough?
Can I play the sidekick?
Or will you call my bluff?

And you don’t know that I know
And I don’t know what to do
Do I dare to ask the question
When there’s just too much to lose
Can we press pause on this scene change
Or just watch it in slow mo
As we inch towards an ending
That we’re both afraid to know

But it’s inevitable
It’s inevitable

I can tell you anything
I almost always do you
We know the perfect words to say
To pull each other through
But this time I’m at a loss
I can’t help what I can’t feel
If these words were spoken
Could we find a way to heal?

I can’t be the answer
Can’t be the one you need
I could leave things as they are
But it hurts to watch you bleed

[Chorus]

Did I miss the mark
Is there nothing that you’ve seen
In another time and place
Maybe we could have been
Teach me how to live with this
Or just let me go
I can’t give my heart to you
But I still love you so

Everything feels different
There’s nobody to blame
If we let truth come between us
Will things ever be the same

[Chorus]

The North Café Series: the storytelling episodes Among all the musical projects that I've watched growing up from scratch, The North Café Project is definitely my favourite. Passion, storytelling, art, instrumental music, love... this ambitious musical project has them all, and even more. Conceived of and created across continents in the aftermath of a global pandemic, it is the brainchild of instrumentalist, John Silvers (USA/UK), who has collaborated with co-founder and musician, Elfin Bow (UK), sound designer and producer, Woody Woodward (UK), visual artist, Gus Lopez (USA) and mastering engineer, Derek Smyth (AUS) to create a unique and intimate offering of story and music. At a time of division and isolation, this global effort to unite and uplift, is a double album release comprising both an episodic story in four parts, with instrumental musical excerpts, and an accompanying album of the full compositions by John Silvers (ukulele) and Elfin Bow (piano).  Creating someth

How can music help and inspire a writer, producer and Disney editor? A conversation with David Acuff

-

David Acuff's life-motto is very simple: "What doesn't kill you makes you funnier!" and he must have survived to a lot of killer attacks, because he's one of the most hilarious people I've ever met through Instagram! I started following him this past autumn thanks to a comic reel that made me laugh in a bad day and his content makes me smile on a daily basis since then.  Acuff is a writer and filmmaker in Los Angeles, CA, and he is also a full time Producer-Editor for the Walt Disney company. He enjoys doing voiceover work for Audible.com book projects as well as animated characters. He also wrote/edited the feature film "Restoration" distributed by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and I discovered he did stand-up comedy in the past, that is no surprise at all! His eclectic talent probably finds its origins in his childhood. David grew up the son of an Air Force Colonel and lived all over the USA. But being the new kid every year in school taught hi

Vintz Desert Vintz Desert is an indie folk singer-songwriter located in Maryland. While serving in the Marine Corps, Vintz fine-tuned his craft and discovered his voice and passion for telling stories and sharing emotions through song. He released his debut EP "Through the smoke; a liar" when he was still in the middle of his military contract and didn't know anything about music industry. The EP features his top streaming song "Love in Boston". Then he relocated to the east coast where he opened up for folk rock band Oliver Hazard. He can be described as "beautifully melancholic" and focuses on direct relatable stories. His soft-spoken and raspy voice transfers his pain and experiences from him to his audience, and enters into a symbiotic relationship with them.  He just released his latest EP "The Blue Journal" on May 20th, an introspective and soft jouney through his feelings. His music has been mind-blowing for me since the very first

Going out the comfort zone with Mariano Mallia's new single "The Search For More"

Mariano Mallia Singer/songwriter Mariano Mallia is a familiar face for those who have followed my blog for awhile. I talked about his inspiring and challenging story when he released his debut single "Don't Change" , after a vocal injury that stopped him from making music for years (you can read here ).  Mariano Mallia, who spent childhood summers visiting family members in Italy, says that it was in Italy that his passion for music was first born.  From those times, Mallia developed a deep appreciation for music, and ultimately decided to devote his life to music. However, the young singer’s pursuit was put to a halt in December of 2018 when he suddenly lost his voice. We talked further about his journey and the challenges he had to face when I interviewed him on YouTube (see here ). Despite the difficulties, Mariano refused to give up on his dream of pursuing music. Since the beginning of 2023, he has consistently released one single each month, putting hard work, musi
