Music From Patrick Watson and Charlotte Cardin

Patrick Watson composes, performs, and records with his long-time bandmate and collaborator and multi-instrumentalists Mishka Stein and Olivier Fairfield. The Canadian artist has reached gold and platinum status in over multiple countries, and his shows sell out around the world. Over the course of his career, Watson has retained the uncanny ability to coexist in mainstream pop-culture spaces and on the avant-garde fringes.  He’s an in-demand composer with over 15 film scores under his belt. He was awarded the prestigious inaugural Impact Award at the 2024 Canadian Sync Awards. Watson’s viral single “Je te laisserai des mots” became the first French song to accumulate one billion streams on Spotify. The songs of Patrick Watson transform everyday surroundings into an imaginary wonderland, translating stress and sorrow into joy, and helping listeners find peace within the chaos of modern life.

Watson has recently released several advance singles from Uh Oh, his upcoming album due September 26 from Secret City Records. Inspired by a period during which Watson lost his voice, it features several guest vocalists. “Gordon In the Willows” has Charlotte Cardin, who won Artist of the Year at the 2022 Juno Awards and with whom Watson last partnered for her 2023 track “Next To You.” Cardin says, “A few months ago, Patrick played me a piano piece—just the music, no words—and the moment I heard it, it felt like the whisper of an old friend.” The track is included in the digital servicing of single “Peter And The Wolf,” which is available on our download site now.

“Sublime… Cardin’s voice and Watson’s piano lace together like those old friends finding each other after years apart.” -CBC
