New EP from Ally Cribb

Toronto-based singer-songwriter Ally Cribb crafts music that defies her young age of eighteen years old. Growing up surrounded by a rich music scene, Ally’s inspirations stem from more than just her immediate location, with the artist commenting, “What I do is all about creativity and imagination: two things that can be found and fostered anywhere.”

From her musician and writer father, she was brought up to have a passion for the sonic and creative world, with Ally starting vocal training at the age of eight and writing her own music from twelve. For her introduction as an artist, she released a cover of Radiohead’s hit “Creep” as her debut single, reimagining the original track beyond recognition and racking up hundreds of thousands of streams of her version.

With her first original release, she shared her single “Bigger”, produced by her father and offering a taste of her songwriting panache on a powerful ballad with pop stylings. Striking a chord with “Bigger” straight away, Ally was made a finalist in the Song Academy Competition for her age group. “Music is the one thing I wanted to be really good at. I’ve been working harder than ever to advance my abilities to write and create,” she shares.

Now the Canadian songstress brings us her latest release with her debut EP titled Unbroken. Offering an intimate and personal window into her own vulnerabilities, across her EP she threads delicate writing that showcases her fierce authenticity as an artist.

Featuring seven original compositions, Unbroken is a testament to survival and determination following the sudden and tragic loss of her mother, with the songs serving as a cathartic vehicle to process Ally’s own grief. Allowing her compelling vocal work to soar, on her debut EP Ally Cribb offers beautifully crafted anthemic pop ballads that confirm her talents as a songwriter and performer on a worthy first record.

Commenting on the EP, Ally shares, “The songs for Unbroken spilled out onto the pages of notebooks, scraps of paper and screens over the past couple of years – a time of intense challenge and inspiration in my life, especially after the sudden loss of my mom while spending my high school years largely isolated by the pandemic. Throughout it all, I’ve tried to find myself through this music.”
