Toronto, ON's Lydia Ainsworth has shared a cover of Chic's "Good Times" from the Ever New compilation. Ever New features new music and covers by Canadian artists with 100% of proceeds going to Black, Indigenous and LGBTQ2S charities: Black Health Alliance, Indspire and The 519.
Of the cover Ainsworth said "Out of the jaws of the apocalypse I'm fleeing to an imaginary desert island of Good Times. Let's hope we make it there for real and soon. Meantime, get out and vote."
Earlier this year, Ainsworth released "Forever," a digital single which Stereogum called "a departure from the chilly, synthetic music of Ainsworth's past. It's a warm, sunny piece of music, full of bright guitars and layered-up harmonies." Last month she remixed Girlpool's single "Like I'm Winning It" for their Touch Me (It's Like I'm Winning It) Remix EP, which The FADER said "offers anxiously stuttering drums over widescreen orchestration." The EP also featured remixes by Dev Hynes (Blood Orange) and Porches. Most recently her string remix of "Diamonds Cutting Diamonds" was featured in Apple's "Privacy. That's iPhone" commercial.
LISTEN TO "GOOD TIMES"
Lydia Ainsworth is an internationally acclaimed singer, composer, and producer. In 2015 her debut album Right from Real was nominated for a Juno award for best electronic album and shortlisted for the Polaris Prize. In 2017 Lydia's second LP, a still bolder set of electro art pop titled Darling of the Afterglow brought with it headlining tours of North America, Europe and Japan as well as support tours with Perfume Genius.
Her 2019 third album, the self-released Phantom Forest, is a lush dream world of art and dance pop that she wrote, played, and produced largely on her own. Shortly after its release, she created string remixes of some of Phantom Forest's tracks, further showcasing her compositional skills and knack for reinvention. That same year, "Earth Song," her collaboration with Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein, appeared in the last episode of Season 3 of Stranger Things.
