Public Appeal is a cutting-edge pop artist based in Montreal. Born in Hong Kong, she lived previously in South Africa, Egypt, France, and Miami. She started making music at 16, drawing inspiration from electro-clash and international club culture. She released her first EP, "Mind Your Business," in 2023 and her debut album "Hello My Name Is Public Appeal" was just released this month via Arbutus Records. Public Appeal appeared on Ashes to Ashes to talk about the record, being at once reserved yet party-going, and wanting to make listeners feel they can dance with the curtains open (even if the neighbours are watching).

Virginie B's irresistible quirkiness is matched only by her boundless creativity. The singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist offers a unique reappropriation of hyperpop by incorporating touches of nu-jazz, funk and R&B, complemented with a refined conceptual approach inherited from art pop and a pronounced taste for maximalism and glamour. Accompanied by her talented collaborator and co-producer Louis Jeay-Beaulieu, she applies this distinctive and versatile combination of styles to the exploration of her psyche, femininity, and relationship with technology and nature. The result is an outlet through which she expresses her desires and excesses without taking herself too seriously, reflecting her vulnerability and confidence. Virginie B appeared on Ashes to Ashes to talk about the one-year anniversary of her latest album, Astral 2000, and 2025 being her biggest year yet as an artist.

Franki is an emerging indie pop artist and self-taught producer. Raised in England on 2000s dance music, she moved to Montreal, where she was drawn to the city's blossoming pop scene and unique energy. Starting out producing in her bedroom, Franki spent a long winter honing her craft before taking her new material to audiences, testing out new songs and shaping her debut EP, “All The Things I Try to Say.” On her release, she explores themes of self-discovery, navigating life with a newly developed frontal lobe, and the blissed out chaos that exists within her. Franki appeared on Ashes to Ashes to talk about the EP, her "undying love" for Lily Allen, and performing as Allen at CJLO's "Divas Live!" Halloween covers night for the station's annual funding drive. Original air date: October 28, 2025

Vitalia is a queer Ukrainian-Canadian singer-songwriter, actress, and DJ who thrives in front of the camera, on stage, and behind the mic. Her debut EP, alone in a crowd, takes listeners on an emotional rollercoaster through love, heartbreak, and self-reclamation. Across six tracks, the creation weaves a raw and cinematic narrative, fusing alternative pop, rock, and atmospheric soundscapes. With striking vulnerability and bold production, it captures the chaos of modern relationships — where passion and pain blur into one. Vitalia appeared on Ashes to Ashes to talk about the EP, performing since the age of six, and crying at the club when no one's watching. Original air date: May 6, 2025

Mint Simon is the solo project of the magnetic frontperson of indie-pop band Caveboy. A theatre kid turned pop visionary, Mint exists somewhere between Ferris Bueller and Prince - fusing bold theatricality with infectious pop hooks and radical vulnerability. Their debut EP, Chimera, is a dive into identity, heartbreak, transition, and healing. Mint appeared on Ashes to Ashes to talk about the EP, performing at Osheaga, and why bridges in pop songs are everything. Original air date: July 29, 2025

Made in the wake of the end of a long relationship, Fabiana Palladino's self-titled debut album, released last year on XL Recordings / Paul Institute, is an intimate record that sees the artist confront complex questions about love, loneliness, and normativity in relationships. The result is a 10-track full-length of shapeshifting sonics that draws inspiration from the big R&B, soul, pop and disco studio productions of the 80s and 90s and filters them through a modern lens. Palladino appeared on @ashestoashescjlo to talk about the LP, her North American tour, and why radio still matters. Original air date: April 22, 2025
