Taste Test of ”Topline” (Episode 414.625)

On this Taste Test, Jezzie samples "Topline" currently streaming on CBC Gem! Topline tells the story of Tala/Illisha who gets discovered by a production team, after releasing a social media sensation of her song “Cotton Candy.”  Tala joins to eventually find her own song along the way. Creator Romeo Candido not only tells the story of a Filipino Canadian in our diaspora, but lets the viewer in how a person navigates two worlds (R&B/Music/EDM, and Filipino responsibility/expectations) while exhibiting his amazing ability to create a great hook. We highly recommend all of you to hear and watch a Filipino story revolving around finding your voice, coming of age, grief and the importance of family.
