Coldstream writer/musician Joe Pinheiro's latest project is signed, sealed, and delivered.

Pinheiro 乌鸦传媒� the Phunk in the duo Phunk & Wangles 乌鸦传媒� has completed a double album, Songs in the Key of Phunk, which he says transforms years of writing into song.

乌鸦传媒淚 love writing 乌鸦传媒� I write a lot,乌鸦传媒� says Pinheiro. 乌鸦传媒淧oems, rants, observations 乌鸦传媒� they fill my notebooks and phone. The past couple of years have been full of big changes, and I wrote even more than usual."

Pinheiro was listening to music icon Stevie Wonder乌鸦传媒檚 album Songs In The Key of Life a lot while working on this album.

Plus, (the Wonder song) Master Blaster was the first song I learned on bass. It was also a nickname I got during a memorable recording session back in the day," said Pinheiro. "That乌鸦传媒檚 why I called the album Songs In The Key of Phunk.乌鸦传媒�

Following The Phunk Philes, which first explored AI-assisted songwriting, this new 22-track collection continues the journey.

It blends Pinheiro乌鸦传媒檚 lifelong love of words with fresh melodies and sounds. The latest single, Keep Dusting, follows releases like Fading In The Echo, Lessen The Load, Familia Portuguesa, and the tribute Goodnight Gord (written about late Tragically Hip frontman Gord Downie), offering a rich mix of genres, stories, and sonic surprises.

While Pinheiro isn乌鸦传媒檛 a singer, he hears distinct voices bringing his songs to life: Familia with Mariza or Nelly Furtado; Keep Dusting with Thunder Queen or The Linda Lindas; Dazzle & Sparkle with Michael Bubl茅; and Never Lets Me Down as a duet with Jann Arden and k.d. lang.

乌鸦传媒淚 worked with Jann years ago 乌鸦传媒� that would be wild," he said. "I乌鸦传媒檓 a dreamer, and lately, I love the quote, 乌鸦传媒楧reaming takes action.'"

This album also continues the phase of the Phunk & Wangles project without collaborator Doug Elliott (Wangles).

Fresh tracks like Bring Me Your Love, Put Your Back Into It, Smokeshow, Lonely Like Me, showcase Pinheiro乌鸦传媒檚 evolving songwriting and storytelling.

On AI乌鸦传媒檚 role, Pinheiro said: 乌鸦传媒淭here乌鸦传媒檚 a lot of debate about AI in music, but for me, it乌鸦传媒檚 just another tool 乌鸦传媒� like a collaborator that helps turn ideas into songs faster. I see these as really strong songwriting demos. I乌鸦传媒檓 not trying to get on stage, but working this way has actually inspired me to play and write more on my instruments.

乌鸦传媒淚乌鸦传媒檝e enjoyed finding and promoting other artists throughout my life 乌鸦传媒� it乌鸦传媒檚 different being on this side, but I love it. Working with Wangles reminded me how much I love making music, whether with others or on my own. I appreciate anyone listening 乌鸦传媒� that still blows my mind away. Having so much fun.乌鸦传媒�
