Toronto, ON's Lydia Ainsworth has shared a cover of Chic's "Good Times" from the Ever New compilation. Ever New features new music and covers by Canadian artists with 100% of proceeds going to Black, Indigenous and LGBTQ2S charities: Black Health Alliance, Indspire and The 519.
Of the cover Ainsworth said "Out of the jaws of the apocalypse I'm fleeing to an imaginary desert island of Good Times. Let's hope we make it there for real and soon. Meantime, get out and vote."
Earlier this year, Ainsworth released "Forever," a digital single which Stereogum called "a departure from the chilly, synthetic music of Ainsworth's past. It's a warm, sunny piece of music, full of bright guitars and layered-up harmonies." Last month she remixed Girlpool's single "Like I'm Winning It" for their Touch Me (It's Like I'm Winning It) Remix EP, which The FADER said "offers anxiously stuttering drums over widescreen orchestration." The EP also featured remixes by Dev Hynes (Blood Orange) and Porches. Most recently her string remix of "Diamonds Cutting Diamonds" was featured in Apple's "Privacy. That's iPhone" commercial.
