“Next Time I Love” is a soulful anthem of resilience and renewal. Co-written by Brandi Vezina alongside Styles Haury, Liz Christensen, and Jarrod Kompier, the song captures the journey from heartbreak to hope. The EP showcases Brandi’s evolution blending classic country roots with modern storytelling.

At the heart of her upcoming Grit & Glamour EP is Paper Town, a song that speaks to the fragility of industry and community. Inspired by true events, Paper Town tells the story of a once-thriving mill town that lost its lifeblood when the industry collapsed. Co-written and performed with Winnipeg’s Scott Nolan.“It’s about more than just a job, it’s about identity, purpose, and the generations of families who built their lives around something that was suddenly gone,” says Vezina.

The Manitoba Arts Council and Manitoba Film & Music have recognized the cultural significance of Paper Town, backing the project and ensuring that this important story reaches audiences far and wide.
