Janette King (2022)

Montreal, QC

This gifted R&B vocalist makes the kind of neo-soul that would be at home on Saint Records. With productions that draw upon classic sounds of the genre while remaining exploratory, her serene cooing can waft from a whisper to an all-out run with a natural ease. Her 2021 album What We Lost — which is a gentle, transfixing exploration of grief — is a must-listen ahead of the festival.
