On the heels of achieving widespread popularity with his breakthrough single “Farmer’s Song” in 1972 — which earned him the first of 11 JUNO Awards to date — Murray McLauchlan appears on the cover of Canada’s national newsmagazine Maclean’s. One of the first music artists to establish a sustainable career in Canada alone, McLauchlan writes city songs that encompass folk, country, and pop, eventually leading him to become a CBC Radio and TV personality, a Member of the Order of Canada, and a long-serving member of the SOCAN Board of Directors.

✨ SOCAN Song of the Week ✨

Ashley Sienna - “Dance with the Devil”

SOCAN is pleased and proud that dark-pop singer-songwriter Ashley Sienna has released “Dance with the Devil,” a song forged in the warm, communal environment of our Kenekt Pender Island Song Camp in September of 2025, where she co-wrote it with Sunsetto, Nevis Gahunia, and Housefly. Sienna first became widely known with her 2023 viral TikTok hit “What You Need,” and for blending moody, emotional themes with catchy melodies. The Toronto-born music creator has released two EPs and two albums of alternative indie pop, with a sultry, haunting vibe. Her music often focuses on themes of self-love and “manifestation music,” a term she uses to explain that her work draws on positive thinking.
