Exclaim!'s 32 Most Anticipated Canadian Albums of 2022

Samantha Savage Smith
Fake Nice
(Saved by Vinyl)
Release Date: April 22

Co-produced by Samantha Savage Smith and Chad VanGaalen/Alvvays collaborator Chris Dadge, Fake Nice places Smith's unmistakable voice in a kaleidoscope of glittering folk-rock. Single "In It to Win It" is like being submerged in a bubble bath, all opalescent sheen and light-as-air melody. Her first record since 2015's Fine Lines, there's a sense of urgency and joy that runs through Fake Nice, a relief at once again having found the words.
