Jenn Grant's Champagne Problems was already one of Exclaim!'s most anticipated Canadian albums of 2023, and now she's detailed the LP. It's out on June 21, and she has shared a new single with Hannah Georgas and Amy Millan.
The LP is heavily collaborative, with at least one guest on each of the 12 tracks. In addition to Georgas and Millan, contributors include Aquakultre, Bahamas, Dan Mangan, Kevin Drew, Basia Bulat, Joel Plaskett, Ria Mae, Josh Qaumariaq, Slow Leaves and Tim Baker. Kim Harris appears on the previously released lead single "Judy."
"Part of the fun game of it for me was to see how people were and to get to know the people better through how they write," Grant said of the project, which came together while in lockdown. "I feel like it was a real insight to them as artists." Grant self-produced Champagne Problems along with husband/collaborator Daniel Ledwell in Lake Echo, NS.
For the latest taste of the album's collaborative approach, check out the new single "How I Loved You" below. The song was written with Georgas. Kevin Drew directed the music video, and Milan appears to sing her verse.
