Patrick Watson and Charlotte Cardin release a new collaborative song ‘Gordon in the Willows.’ Haunting in its beauty and simplicity, the song unfurls over lightly arpeggiating piano and Cardin’s breathtaking voice covering a range of multiple octaves, until it disintegrates with a pulse rattling bass and echoing drums.
Watson, Polaris Music Prize recipient and Cardin, JUNO Award winner – wrote the lyrics together, and recorded the song last fall at Lost River Studios, in a rural lake village in Quebec, outside of Montreal where Watson has previously hosted his own music festival.
Watson and Cardin have collaborated in the past, co-writing ‘Next To You’ featured on Cardin’s 2023 album. They shared a live version on Instagram that has over 4 million views, and Watson is also working with Cardin on her new album.
