Description

First new album from Kathleen Edwards in over a decade!

In the late aughts, Kathleen Edwards career was on the rise and her four studio albums had received critical acclaim; she garnered Polaris Prize nominations, a SOCAN Songwriting prize win, and several Juno nominations. But amid this success she stepped back from the music industry and started a coffee shop outside of Ottawa called Quitters, a successful small business she ran for over a decade.

Now shes releasing album no. 5, just as a global pandemic has forced her to shut down the coffee shop and furlough the workers who became like family. TOTAL FREEDOM, self-produced alongside Jim Bryson and Grammy winner Ian Fitchuk, opens a door to her view of life as it is now, with all its wonderful complications.
