Ariel Posen - Headway (2021)

Ariel Posen’s music occupies the space between genres. It’s a rootsy
sound that nods to his influences — heartland rock & roll, electrified
Americana, blue-eyed soul, R&B, Beatles-inspired pop — while still
moving forward, pushing Posen into territory that’s uniquely his own.
He turns a new corner with Headway, a solo album that finds the
songwriter taking stock of his personal and musical progress.

Posen began recording Headway in December 2019, one week after
wrapping up international touring in support of his acclaimed debut,
How Long. He’d been on the road for a year and a half, playing shows
across the U.K., Europe, America, and his native Canada. Along the
way, Posen had received standing ovations not only from his audiences,
but also from outlets like Rolling Stone, who dubbed him “a modern-day
guitar hero,” Music Radar listing him as a fan voted top 10 rock
guitarist of the year, and the Western Canadian Music Awards, who
nominated him for Breakout Artist of the Year.
