Secretly Canadian launched its anniversary single series in April. Proceeds from sales of music and more will go to the nonprofit New Hope for Families, with a goal of raising $250,000. So far, the label has issued covers by Stella Donnelly, Porridge Radio, NNAMDÏ, Beach Fossils, and more.
Additionally, Secretly Canadian has announced a new series titled Secretly Frequencies—a bi-weekly playlist curated by a rotating crew of Secretly employees, artists, and collaborators. Check out the first edition, put together by co-founder Ben Swanson.
