Vendredi 29 mai - Now Remix par Jesse lui-même Je souhaitais partager de la musique électronique depuis un moment, car j’adore plonger dans ce son, c’est très important pour moi.
Le plus récent album de Jesse, Now a remporté un Félix lors du Gala de l’ADISQ 2019 dans la catégorie Meilleur album anglophone de l’année, en plus d’être encensé par les critiques partout à travers le monde. NPR Music a affirmé que Jesse confectionne avec intelligence et précision de l’hypnotisante pop psychédélique infusée de folk, tandis que Rolling Stone Allemagne a décerné 3 étoiles et demie à Now, le qualifiant de premier album fascinant. Le Devoir a écrit que l’album était somptueux et a mis Jesse à la une de son magazine culturel, alors que Liverpool Sound and Vision a donné la note de 8,5/10 à Now et déclaré que c’est un album merveilleusement habile; le moment est venu pour une telle intervention musicale dans nos vies.

Jesse Mac Cormack annouces Now RMX
Three remixes and a brand new song
Today, Jesse Mac Cormack announces NOW RMX : a collection of three remixes from his award-winning album Now, to be released every Friday starting May 15, culminating with a brand new song set to be out on Friday June 12th. To highlight the event, Jesse will be doing a live DJ set on social media Friday May 15 at 9PM ET.
Jesse had this to say about the new tracks : Electronic music for me is a hobby, a passion that comes from an exciting place ; it is full of joy and movement. It’s always such a thrill to expose my song to this particular sound… I truly feel right now it is the best time to release music, despite the ongoing sadness we all feel, confinement is the perfect set-up to listen to music properly.
Friday May 15 - Nothing Lasts Remix by Ryan Playground I met Ryan at Piknic Electronik and I really enjoyed her set. I wrote to her on Instagram and she was super enthusiastic about collaborating together. I really love the arrangements she added on the voice track for this remix.
Friday May 22 - No Love Go Remix by CRi CRi and I work often together so it was only natural to do this remix. I’m a big fan of his music and I think we influence each other with our creativity in a positive way.
Friday May 29 - Now Remix by Jesse himself I’ve been wanting to share electro music for a while, I really enjoy diving into that sound, it means a lot to me.

Le Devoir called the album sumptuous and Jesse graced the cover of their cultural magazine, while Liverpool Sound and Vision gave Now 8.5/10 and stated that it’s a wonderful adept album, Now is the time for such musical intervention in our lives. The album is closing in on 3 million streams.

A home-studio wizard and blazing guitarist, Jesse Mac Cormack was tapped to salute Stevie Ray Vaughan and Muddy Waters at the Montreal International Jazz Festival over the years.
