Odario Drops Serene Single 'Sunset Flicks' as Prelude to Upcoming EP “The Balm”

Fri Jun 21, 2024

Winnipeg-born and now Toronto-based musician Odario releases his latest single “Sunset Flicks” in anticipation for the upcoming extended play The Balm.

Produced by Alister Johnson, “Sunset Flicks” is an homage to the beauty of golden hour, that time just after sunrise or just before sunset, and seeing Toronto thaw out of the winter into the dreamy summertime. In his own words, “[Sunset Flicks] embraces escapism after long dark winter episodes… rollin' thru town with a loved one and getting reacquainted with your city”.

Odario is a staple in Canada’s hip-hop and R&B scene, collaborating with the likes of Polaris Music Prize Winners, Cadence Weapon and Haviah Mighty, Posdnuos of De La Soul, Shad, The Halluci Nation, Mad Professor and legendary Toronto rapper Saukrates.
