Virginia Fudge Returns With a Plea for Resolution on ‘Make Us Work’

“Make Us Work” is the first single to be released by Newfoundland singer/songwriter Virginia Fudge since her debut album in 2006. Despite her early successes, life superseded many of the plans Fudge had for the big stage — that is, until Meg Warren put out a call looking for artists to produce.

Halifax producer Michael Coolen, also known by his stage name MichaelMichael, has boldly laid out his artistic journey in the form of a whopping 19-track album that eludes all classification and tells of a mind and heart that is distinctly Coolen’s. This is Gates of Janus (2015-2019).
