BILLCS New Music Report – July 8/26.
MYSTERY ROMANCE IS BACK WITH ANOTHER GREAT RECORD.
Losing You (2026) My team has been following this band for a few years now and under the management and direction of Current Records label owner Gerry Young, each release is top quality and “Losing You” is proving to be another hit on the horizon. "Record World International"
Electric Love (2025): Their latest full-length album, described as a "genre-bending listening experience" that combines nostalgic synth-pop with modern R&B grooves.
Flying Thru The Moon (2023): An album containing new compositions and important historical recordings.
"Forever For You" (2023): A hit single that reached #2 on Spotify charts shortly after its release.
MYSTERY ROMANCE, “Losing You”
About the artist: Mystery Romance is a Calgary-based collective which currently revolves around producer and multi-instrumentalist Mike Scullion. It has been a full band over the years, initially releasing the album Human Sexuality in 1989 and the Canadian hit single “So Far Away”. The band went through a couple of iterations before releasing new music again in 2023, which has yielded two albums to date.
About the record: “Losing You” doesn’t sound much like the Mystery Romance of recent albums Electric Love and Flying Thru the Moon, but sometimes change is for the better. Mike Scullion has brought aboard UK vocalist Nicole McMahon, whose voice lends a carefree Sheryl Crow/KT Tunstall tone to the proceedings, as well as Argentinian bassist Hector Ruano and Mike’s own son Caiden on guitar to flesh out the overall sound. “Losing You” has a sad but resolute story which is countered by a breezy, summery melody, featuring a guitar riff written by original member Richard Crooks. Pop and Adult Contemporary radio stations should make room for this one on their playlists.
Other comments: Part of the melody of “Losing You” has me humming 60’s hit “Spooky” by The Classics IV – anyone else?
