Published Tuesday, June 15, 2021 3:06PM EDT TORONTO - Illustrious U2 producer Daniel Lanois, indie vocal powerhouse Charlotte Cardin and recent Juno Award winner Savannah Re have made the Polaris Music Prize long list. New albums from 40 Canadian musicians were named on the extended list that will be narrowed down to 10 contenders for a short list due July 15. Lanois made the cut with “Heavy Sun,” a contemplative project he recorded with his bandmates in the Heavy Sun Orchestra, while Cardin s “Phoenix” marks some of her most deeply personal work. Re landed on the list with “Opia,” which saw one of its tracks win a Juno for traditional R&B/soul recording earlier this month.
