{"product_id":"talk_to_me","title":"Talk To Me","description":"\u003cp\u003eTalk To Me is a 2026 studio album from celebrated Toronto jazz and soul vocalist Molly Johnson, released June 26 via Universal Music Canada and Belle Productions. Across 10–12 tracks (depending on format) and roughly 50 minutes, the record blends soul, jazz, R\u0026amp;B, and rock, weaving together material from her recent All I See and Long Time Running EPs with four newly recorded songs including the lead single Holiday. Johnson is joined by longtime collaborators Davide Di Renzo, Mike Downes, and Robi Botos, whose familiar rhythmic and harmonic feel anchors the album’s sound, while guests like JUNO‑winning rapper Haviah Mighty, producer‑artist CUBE, and Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo bring in fresh perspectives and cross‑generational energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArtistically, Talk To Me is framed as a conversation—between styles, eras, and voices—and that idea runs through the record’s collaborations. The title track, a call‑and‑response piece with Haviah Mighty, centers on listening and dialogue across generations, pairing Johnson’s warm, lived‑in jazz phrasing with Haviah’s sharp, contemporary lyricism to create what reviewers describe as a meaningful exchange rather than a guest spot pasted onto a standard. Johnson’s intimate reinterpretation of The Tragically Hip’s Long Time Running, recorded as a long‑imagined duet with Cuddy, re‑casts the Canadian rock classic as a hushed, soulful ballad that honors its legacy while giving it new emotional shading. New originals like Holiday, Happy, Sunday Morning, Still Believe in Love, and Just As Bad As You came out of what Johnson calls some of the most joyful, emotional sessions of her life; together they form an album that fans and labels alike praise as a perfect example of beautiful songwriting, ego‑free collaboration, and an artist pushing her boundaries while staying true to her unmistakable voice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"CD \/ Album","offer_id":53704897233210,"sku":"39087","price":16.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-07-08_at_8.15.08_PM.jpeg?v=1783556224","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/talk_to_me","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
