“Quinn Lemley: A Goddess Revealed”
Quinn Lemley moves through the world like a flame in motion, illuminating every stage she graces. From the sun-kissed shores of Greece to the historic theaters of London, from the dazzling cultural landscapes of China to the intimate rooms where music becomes a secret language, she has carried her unmistakable glamour and fire to audiences across the globe. Each performance has been more than entertainment — it has been a transportive experience, one that lingers long after the final bow.
Now, in the next chapter of her artistic journey, Quinn unveils her most personal and ambitious project yet. Rita Hayworth Revealed is not simply an album but a resurrection of a spirit. With every note, Quinn channels the allure of Hollywood’s eternal goddess, not as imitation but as rebirth — a reflection of Rita’s defiance, sensuality, and heartbreak, fused with Quinn’s own unmistakable voice and vision. It is a meeting of two icons across time, a dialogue between yesterday’s silver screen and today’s global stage.
There is a kind of magic in the way Quinn Lemley moves between past and present, tradition and innovation. Her life on the road has carved her into a citizen of the world, yet no matter where she performs — under the Grecian stars, in the heart of London’s pulse, across the great cities of China — she brings audiences into the same shared dream. With Rita Hayworth Reimagined, she invites listeners to step into that dream once again, to lose themselves in music that glitters with nostalgia yet burns with something fiercely, defiantly new.

Plain Mister Smith returns with Bric-À-Brac Attack, a beautifully offbeat collection of indie-folk, pop and atmospheric songwriting. Released via Amelia Records, the album finds the Vancouver and London-based multi-hyphenate turning fragments of memory, relationships and everyday absurdity into something quietly cinematic.
At its centre is “Grindavik”, a shimmering, reflective track inspired by the Icelandic town shaped by recent volcanic activity. Bright acoustic guitars and steady drums carry a constantly shifting chord progression, mirroring the song’s central metaphor of a relationship under pressure and the hope that its fissures can eventually heal. Featuring Jordan Klassen and Kitt, the track captures the emotional tension that runs throughout the album.
Elsewhere, Bric-À-Brac Attack moves effortlessly between playful guitar-driven moments, lush arrangements and more introspective passages. “Miss Sunshine” brings infectious energy, while collaborations with Findlay Brown, Leeroy Stagger, Krystle Dos Santos and Tyson Mostenbocher add colour to an already eclectic record.
Former guitarist of Canadian darkwave band Moev and a cellist with the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra, Plain Mister Smith brings an unusually broad musical perspective to his songwriting. Yet Bric-a-Brac attack never feels overly calculated. Instead, it has the charm of something discovered rather than constructed.
Warm, strange, melodic and emotionally searching, Bric-À-Brac Attack is a record that rewards getting lost in its details. Plain Mister Smith may remain deliberately mysterious, but the music itself speaks with remarkable clarity.
