(Los Angeles, CA) - Ottawa’s City Fidelia shares new single “Unfinished Business” featuring Bubi Beats, one half of powerhouse EDM duo Showtek. The single boasts a hip-hop summer groove with bubbly electronic flair, making it the ultimate solstice bop. Lyrically, City Fidelia writes an ode to his hometown of Ottawa. As he reflects on the blessing and the curse of coming from a small city, he looks towards the future with open eyes, acknowledging his duty to put on for his city.

Talking about his collaboration with Bubi, City Fidelia says, “Bubi reached out to me online regarding doing some collaborations with Showtek. We meet in Toronto and ended up making a lot of records and unfinished business was one of them. I asked him to send me a production that was groovy because at the moment I was listening to Mtume's song "Juicy fruit" song over and over.”

Most recently, City Fidelia reemerged with murky new single “One More Time,” featuring his childhood friend Carpe DM. The track opens to a gloomy soundscape featuring rolling synths, commanding trap drums, and his gentle, but compassionate, vocals. Crooning about the allure of a confident, compelling woman, City Fidelia sees value in love at first sight. It’s dark, yet captivating, with sounds fluctuating between PARTYNEXTDOOR and Travis Scott.

Ottawa raised, Toronto based City Fidelia is part raw poet and soulful R&B singer. Looking beyond the boundaries of typical hip-hop music, City Fidelia flexes compelling lyricism inspired by his own personal struggles with the hope to inspire others to also pursue their dreams. Moving from Ottawa to Toronto to explore more music opportunities, City Fidelia says, “Music has always been my way of communicating my truth.” And that’s exactly what he’s done throughout the years.

City Fidelia previously made waves with his Freedumb project. The album caught the eyes of many, including Complex and Noisey, and skyrocketed on Spotify, racking in 5.9 million Spotify streams. It’s clear that City Fidelia single-handedly inserted Ottawa into the hip-hop discussion. As the leading artist out of the city, he prides himself on creating interlinking narratives that are as relatable as they are danceable. City wants fans to understand that they can be complex, they can feel down, they can be emotional, and that he’s here for the ride. There’s no fronting or bombastic attitudes, just pure musicianship and honest lyricism.

City Fidelia pulls these beliefs into his artist collective Ensemble. Ensemble is a collective of creatives in music, fashion and art working on a singular mission: to bring people together and teach that anything is possible through art. With so many exciting ideas and so much music lined up, Fidelia, is ready to stick his head out and establish his name in the industry, in his own inimitable way.
