Kaya Usher & The Family Band - All This Is (2021) Hi-Res

Kaya Usher is finally seeing her late husband Gord Downie's long-held dream come into fruition with All This Is — her debut album with the Family Band, which is set to arrive on November 17 via Arts & Crafts. Today, she's shared the first single entitled "Heart Clicks."

"This is a very personal album for me," Usher said in a statement. "Not only because I get to jam out with my kids, but also because music has helped me to rise up and transcend what was holding me back. Everyone can connect to music. My hope is that this album helps others reach new heights too." The 10 tracks contain haunting melodies and soul-searching lyrics that reflect Usher’s awakening through a Frequency modality she calls The Simplicity Platform. In her songs we encounter the sounds of unraveling, of epiphany, of metamorphosis. Yet, through the journeying we also (very much) feel and hear Drew. These are robust compositions, with ambient
chords, hypnotic rhythms and elegant cadences. This masterful union is as rich as it is melodious. You will bop along and lose yourself, and all at the same time.
