Info :
HOW TO FAIL AS A POPSTAR is a compilation of songs from and inspired by Vivek Shraya's beloved one person show and her forthcoming CBC Gem Original series (airing this fall).
"When I started writing 'How To Fail As A Popstar' in 2019, my original vision was for the play to be a musical with a complete ten track soundtrack–but that would have made for a very long play! Now after creating the adapted series for CBC Gem, I am excited to finally realize this vision by bringing together the various songs that have been central to the telling of this story.
One of the biggest lessons in my creative journey has been to constantly experiment and reinvent, because I have never been able to predict what might connect with a listener–and this approach is reflected here. Some of these songs are brand spanking new, some are older songs that have been reimagined or remixed, and some songs are from the archives.
Despite my popstar dreams not coming true, this album is a sonic representation of my persistence and my undying love for music."
