Julian Taylor Amazes on New Release "Seeds"

Toronto-based singer-songwriter Julian Taylor has been part of the musical fabric and landscape in Canada for over two decades. Taylor enjoyed a breakthrough year in 2020, when his second solo acoustic album, The Ridge, earned millions of plays on Spotify, praise from press worldwide, and airplay from America to Australia to the UK.

How do you follow-up a career high point? If you’re Taylor – you double down on upping your game by striving to exceed the creative fruits that have already bloomed from the artistic spark that got you there in the first place.

A quiet protest song about hope, strength and resilience, “Seeds,” stands for Somehow, Everyone, Eventually, Dreams, Someday. The new single was inspired by a text that Taylor received from his cousin the morning after it was announced that 215 uncovered remains of buried Indigenous children had been discovered at a former residential school in Kamloops, British Columbia. The message simply read: They tried to bury us, but they didn’t know we were seeds.
