Interviews with Celine Stanton and Ronnie Abou-Abssi of Just Fine and AKEEM OH

We open in conversation with Celine Stanton and Ronnie Abou-Abbsi, of the Ottawa pop-rock group Just Fine. The group has been out on its first major tour, and is coming back to Ottawa to celebrate the fresh release of their brand new album, This Is All Good Enough, on Friday night (August 8) at Club SAW. We talk about the group's bright sound and how Celine's vocals fit into the mix. We also talk about their work with Michael Watson and Hannah Judge of fanclubwallet. We do not learn the exact location of the public wading pool in the video for the song This Is All Good Enough.... haha.

We talk to Akeem about the production on his latest single Fomotion. We also talk about his songwriting and his background - coming from Mattawa, Ontario and originally writing songs in French. Finally we talk about the lovely video he created for the song Winter Crush, up in Chelsea, Quebec using locations like the awesome ice cream shop La Cigale. It's a fun conversation!
