Toronto-based singer-songwriter Julian Taylor has been part of the musical fabric and landscape in Canada for two decades. Taylor enjoyed a breakthrough year in 2020, when his second solo acoustic album, The Ridge, earned more than five million plays on Spotify, praise from press worldwide, and airplay from America to Australia to the U.K. In addition to winning Taylor Solo Artist of the Year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards, The Ridge was also nominated for: two Juno Awards, the Polaris Prize Long List, a Summer Solstice Indigenous Award, a Canadian Music Week INDIES Award, and an additional Canadian Folk Music Awards nomination in the English Songwriter of the Year category. How do you follow-up a career high point? For Taylor, you double down on upping your game by striving to exceed the creative fruits that have already blossomed from the artistic spark that got you there in the first place. Taylor's new album, Beyond the Reservoir is further evidence of a songwriter pushing the very boundaries of his creativity. Taylor has succeeded in surpassing both his and our expectations with the nine profoundly interpersonal songs found on his stunning new solo effort. The inherent compassion and humanity entrenched all throughout Beyond the Reservoir show Taylor is well in tune with the soul of his restless muse in a way that's personally relatable to everyone who's listening. It's an album that captures the moments that changed just about everything. Beyond the Reservoir is the justly attained artistic apex of one Mr. Julian Taylor, a duly established career artist still looking over the rim to see where he can take us, and himself, next.
