Basia Bulat – Good Advice

Good Advice is the fourth album to be released by Canadian singer-songwriter Basia Bulat. The album showcases the amazing vocal talent that Bulat has without going over the top in regards to production — it sounds like it is somewhere between a live and studio recording.

It does not sound like your average singer-songwriter album, as the majority of the songs are pop-tinged — but this is not a fault. If anything, it adds to Good Advice being an exceptional album. By still staying true to the ethos of the singer-songwriter genre, it stands out as a mix between traditional singer-songwriter and pop.

Highlights from the album include: “La La Lie,” “Infamous,” and “The Garden”

Foxes – All I Need

All I Need is Foxes’ second album. It follows up on the success of “Clarity” — Zedd’s Grammy-winning song on which she was the featured singer — and her debut album Glorious.

This is definitely a modern pop album. The focus of the album is Foxes’ vocal ability, but at points it becomes overshadowed by the synth heavy backing tracks. That being said, it is highly danceable, and could be fun to sing in the car, but if you are looking for something to just chill out and read a book to, I might skip this one.

Highlights include: “Cruel” and “Scar”

Majid Jordan – Majid Jordan

This is Majid Jordan’s first full-length album. The group — composed of members Majid Al Maskati and Jordan Ullman — are building on the success that they have had by being producers and being featured on Drake’s “Hold On, We’re Going Home.”

Aside from the Drake feature on “My Love,” there is nothing exceptionally notable about the album. It is beautifully produced, and every song is very clean-sounding, but lyrically there is room to grow. I wouldn’t count Majid Jordan out just yet, though. They have potential, but don’t listen to this album expecting a fully-developed sound.

The highlight is:

“My Love”

New immunotherapy treatment provides hope for aggressive cancer

News Peak Web -
By: Lucaiah Smith-Miodownik, News Writer Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are often recognized as the three most common forms of cancer treatment. Sometimes, the latter two approaches become no longer effective when cancers become drug resistant, allowing the cells to further spread. At the University of Calgary, however, promising developments in immunotherapy intervention seek to provide alternative treatment when common therapies are not viable.  Cells continually divide to replenish dying cells, but certain gene mutations can create cancer cells, which divide and spread in an uncontrolled manner. The human body naturally defends itself from cancerous cells, though sometimes they can “hide from the immune system and avoid being destroyed,” according to the Canadian Cancer Society.
