Our Take

Ah, Ron Sexsmith, the Canadian troubadour with the voice of an angel and the lyrics of a heartbroken poet. His latest offering, "Retriever," is a mixed bag of pure emotion and subtle melodies that will leave you questioning your own existence. The album starts off with the haunting track "Hands of Time," a melancholic ballad that showcases Sexsmith's raw talent and unparalleled ability to capture the essence of heartache. His voice, like a warm hug on a cold night, wraps around you and pulls you into his world of lost love and missed opportunities. But don't be fooled by the sombre tone of the opening track, "Retriever" is not all tears and sorrow. Sexsmith manages to inject moments of hope and optimism into songs like "Gold in Them Hills" and "Dragonfly on Bay Street," reminding us that even in our darkest moments, there is always a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. Overall, "Retriever" is a captivating journey through the highs and lows of love and life, with Ron Sexsmith as our guide through the stormy seas of emotion. So grab a cup of tea, put on your comfiest jumper, and let Sexsmith serenade you into a state of pure bliss. Trust me, you won't regret it.

About the artist

Ron Sexsmith

Ron Sexsmith: The Unsung Hero of Canadian Folk-Pop Ron Sexsmith is not your typical rockstar. With his unassuming demeanor and unpretentious style, this Canadian singer-songwriter has been quietly making music for over three decades, earning a dedicated following and critical acclaim along the way. Often overshadowed by flashier acts, Sexsmith's low-key approach to songwriting has endeared him to fans who appreciate thoughtful lyrics and heartfelt melodies. Hailing from St. Catharines, Ontario, Sexsmith burst onto the music scene in the early '90s with his debut album, "Grand Opera Lane." Since then, he has released a string of albums that showcase his knack for crafting finely-honed pop gems. His gentle voice and intimate storytelling have drawn comparisons to folk legends like Nick Drake and Paul Simon, but Sexsmith's music is truly in a league of its own. Despite his talent and critical acclaim, Sexsmith remains a bit of a cult figure in the music industry. His albums may not dominate the charts, but they have a timeless quality that resonates with listeners on a deeper level. Songs like "Secret Heart" and "Gold in Them Hills" showcase Sexsmith's ability to capture the beauty and complexity of everyday life in a way that feels both familiar and profound. In a music landscape dominated by flashy gimmicks and manufactured personas, Ron Sexsmith is a refreshing reminder that sometimes all you need is a guitar, a microphone, and a good story to tell. So next time you're in need of a musical pick-me-up, why not give Sexsmith a spin? Who knows, you might just find yourself falling in love with the unsung hero of Canadian folk-pop.
