Rory MacLeod never realized a song he released last November would resonate so strongly today. MacLeod, whose stage name is N脴X, and Sammi Morelli wrote the song Strange Times last year.
B次元官网网址淚f I told how life was lately, you might say IB次元官网网址檓 a little crazy,B次元官网网址� sings Morelli in the track. B次元官网网址淟ook around youB次元官网网址檒l see weB次元官网网址檙e living in strange, strange times.B次元官网网址�
Part of N脴XB次元官网网址檚 Home EP, Strange Times delivers a positive message of unity, B次元官网网址渨hich I believe everyone needs to hear and feel right now,B次元官网网址� said MacLeod.
Due to the timing of this pandemic and the recent release, N脴X is using the song to feed a need. The Vernon artist will be donating all iTunes and Spotify proceeds from the song to Food Banks Canada.
B次元官网网址淭his is an opportunity to present music fans with a relevant and uplifting song, as well as generate some much needed money to a great cause,B次元官网网址� said MacLeod, who launched his initiative at the beginning of May and says Strange Times has almost 500 Spotify streams alone.
Along with the sweet sounds of Morelli, from Richmond, the Home EP was produced by Mount Pleasant, a DJ and music production team consisting of John Pirito and Alex Szabo, of Vancouver.
B次元官网网址淎fter having known N脴X for almost two decades artistically and personally, as a group we decided to create a collection of songs that were genuine, thought provoking and introspective both lyrically and musically,B次元官网网址� the duo said of the milestone Home EP.
Now, amid these strange times, the team is also eager to be in a position to help their neighbours and community.
B次元官网网址淟ike everyone else, we are coping as well as we can. Staying healthy, positive and when possible, creative.B次元官网网址�
As for N脴X, COVID-19 has halted some efforts but hasnB次元官网网址檛 curbed his creative side.
The local artist has been working on new material for two years now and was just about ready to put on a concert when the virus struck.
B次元官网网址淎s soon as that gets going again IB次元官网网址檒l be ready,B次元官网网址� said MacLeod.
Artists make pennies per play on Spotify, and approximately $1 per song on iTunes, according to MacLeod, who wonB次元官网网址檛 know the total contribution until payouts at the end of 2020. In the meantime, he encourages everyone to do some good and possibly generate some uplifting vibes by playing Strange Times.
