With three Juno Awards (the Canadian equivalent of the Grammy’s,) a Genie Award, and four Gold and two Platinum records to her credit, Carole Pope is an icon of transgressive music.
In sharing her thoughts on sexuality and sexual politics, her music makes you “think and dance at the same time.” Her latest albums Transcend (Le Petite Mort Records) had garnered rave reviews and Transcend the remix album Play Records is charting on college and dance radio.
She has contributed songs to: The Trailer Park Boys, The L Word, Queer As Folk, The Five Senses, and This Revolution. She is the author of a best selling autobiography entitled Anti Diva published by Random House.
Transcend, Pope’s latest weapon, is explosive, electronica that swaggers with rhythmic confidence while Pope’s husky vocals both dare and deliver with the swelling abandon for which she’s known. “World Of One” is dark and smoky, a visceral and sexy send off.
“I won’t play nice and make it easy/ In your world of one,” Pope promises.
In “Dream6,” she blends the lure of desire with relentless, restless guitar riffs. “Americana” is a delicately hypnotic tour of landscapes and politics.” – Xtra –
