I still can’t beleive her Harmony album didn’t make the Short List for the 2013 Polaris Music Prize, but at least Serena’s success is spreading to the US.  Harmony gets a US release August 27.

Here’s a profile in The Hollywood Reporter:

You may not be all that familiar with the name Serena Ryder, but it’s likely you’ve heard her music in some form or another — whether it be on Grey’s Anatomy, car commercials orThe Tonight Show, where the singer recently made her national TV debut.

    Totally agree – especially when an established act like Metric gets nominated?!! What is the purpose of this award again? Ridiculous.
