| Molly Johnson announces new album Talk To Me, out June 26  Recognized as one of Canada's greatest voices, Molly Johnson announces her new album Talk To Me, arriving June 26 via Universal Music Canada. The 10-track project combines music from Johnson's recent All I See and Long Time Running EPs with four new recordings, including lead single "Holiday".Across the album, Johnson collaborates with artists from across generations of Canadian music, including JUNO Award-winning rapper Haviah Mighty, rising producer and artist CUBE, and Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo. The result is a deeply collaborative body of work that blends soul, jazz, R&B, and rock through Johnson's singular artistic lens. At the heart of the album is "Talk To Me, " a call-and-response collaboration with Haviah Mighty centred around listening, dialogue, and connection across generations. The album also features Johnson's stirring interpretation of The Tragically Hip's "Long Time Running, " recorded with Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo. First released in 1991, the song remains a defining piece of the Canadian musical canon, here reimagined with a sense of intimacy and reverence that honours its enduring legacy. Across the album, Johnson is joined by her long-time collaborators, including Davide Di Renzo, Mike Downes and Robi Botos, whose enduring musical partnership remains central to her sound.
