Possessing a soulful voice to accompany her richly detailed song writing, Vicki Brittle is emerging as one of Canada’s most distinctive and compelling musical artists. The Ottawa Valley native has delivered her new single, “Sweet Melody,” an effervescent and soulful love letter to music.

Featuring Myles Castello and co-written by Justin Nozuka, the track captures the essence of listening to an artist and being taken away by a melody. Vicki describes this as “a love letter to music and the souls that sing the songs that make us feel like a feather. Alone, swaying and getting lost in the Sweet Melody.

Having released a previous version of “It’s Only Love” in 2019, which has accumulated over 2M Spotify streams, Vicki chose to record a new live-off-the-floor version at Coalition Music’s headquarters that has now been released along with a video of the live performance. For this take of the song, Vicki chose to play it on piano rather than guitar, on one hand a tribute to her Nan who originally showed her how to play the instrument, and on the other a well-timed return to the piano bench after stepping away during her healing process.

Although big things undoubtedly lay ahead, she will always be a small-town girl at heart, something that gives her music an undeniable charm.
