Joel Barker’s Business of Paradigms Video

05 SEPTEMBER 2025 (TORONTO, ON) - Today, James Barker Band are back in a big way with the release of their highly anticipated sophomore album, One Of Us, out now via Universal Music Canada.

Emily Barker's new album was recorded at Sam Phillips Recording Service in Memphis with Grammy winning producer Matt Ross-Spang (Jason Isbell, Margo Price) and an all-star cast of Memphis session players. Sweet Kind of Blue is her first full studio album since 2013's critically lauded Dear River and marks a new sound for Barker as she returns to the soul and blues influences that first inspired her to become a songwriter and musician.

is a 1990 horror film written and directed by Clive Barker, based on his novella Cabal. In 1990, to tie in with the film's boxoffice release, Epic Comics, the sometime creator-owned imprint of Marvel Comics, produced a four-issue adaptation of the film, which included significant differences from the finished movie, more closely related to Clive Barker's original script (the comic caption says, "adapted from Clive Barker's screenplay"). The comic book continued to run past the end of the movie, ultimately stretching to twenty five issues before it was canceled. The series ran from April, 1990 to March, 1993.

Sweet Kind of Blue was recorded at Sam Phillips Recording Service in Memphis with Grammy winner Matt Ross-Spang (Jason Isbell, Margo Price) and an all star cast of Memphis session players: Rick Steff (keys), Steve Potts (drums), Dave Smith (bass) and Dave Cousar (guitar). For Emily’s fans, it will be a new sound: as Matt Ross-Spang suggested to Emily in persuading her to record the album at Sam Phillips, there's a certain groove that only Memphis can produce. For Emily herself, it’s a return to where her love of music started: far away from Memphis or London, singing her heart out to Aretha Franklin records in her bedroom in sleepy Bridgetown, Western Australia.
