Listen to Sweet Alibi on CBC Radio 2

Sweet Alibi could've gotten away with another soulful, folk-pop blended self-titled album like their first which earned the talented trio a nomination for best vocalist at the 2012 Canadian Folk Music Awards, plus seemingly endless accolades from fans and talent buyers across the country. Instead, despite a tumultuous past few years for Jess Rae Ayre, Michelle Anderson and Amber Quesnel, they created a more introspective and inspirational sophomore album by answering their own nagging question about whether there would be a follow up album at all.
The answer was unanimous: We've Got To...
... share stories genuinely in song that have shaped Sweet Alibi personally since its first album. The result, ten tracks that don't hide from heavy issues including facing mortality ("I'll Wait"), achieving sobriety ("Get it Right") and exploring the intricacies of a father / daughter relationship ("Daddy").
...find a producer who can not only capture the ongoing evolution of the Sweet Alibi sound from folk finesse to a progressing pop presence, but enhance it effortlessly. That would be Rusty Matyas, the creative front man for Imaginary Cities  Imaginery Cities who injected his clever pop prowess while capturing Sweet Alibi's hallmark harmonies and an elevated sense of  song writing sensitivity.
...and remain true to the diversity of personalities of Sweet Alibi, that intuitively transcends different backgrounds to form a family of "sisters" that continuously gets adopted by audiences from across Canada.
With We've Got To, you'll definitely want to catch Sweet Alibi as the tenacious trio plans even more extensive cross-Canada touring with its sights set on the United States, Europe and more!
