Jamie McRoberts gets her groove back in her new single and video Just Like I Remember — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
The first single from the Oakville country-pop singer-songwriter’s album Bring Me Your ‘A’ Game, Just Like I Remember was inspired by McRoberts’ experiences with living through the pandemic. “As a performing artist, our industry was the first to be shut down during the pandemic, and the last to come back. I had to come up with a way to feed that part of me during a time when I was not allowed to be on stage. So, I decided to try my hand at writing and recording.”
Crafted over an arduous year and a half, her album embodies the essence of patience and artistic dedication, with legendary songwriter, producer, and music executive Ross Vannelli at the helm. With each note, lyric, and melody meticulously crafted, it is the culmination of tireless effort and unwavering commitment. The prolonged period allowed McRoberts and Vannelli to new horizons, experiment with innovative sounds, and push creative boundaries — without losing a note of the classic country and pop sound.
During this extensive journey, the artist faced numerous challenges, encountered moments of self-doubt, and experienced the ebb and flow of inspiration. However, they persevered, embracing the long process as an opportunity for growth and refinement. Countless hours were spent in the studio, meticulously fine-tuning every aspect of the music to achieve perfection.
Since age five, McRoberts has been training as an actor/performer and has not only performed throughout Canada but has also internationally. She has been featured in Rock of Ages at Stage West Calgary and All Shook Up at Stage West Mississauga. Currently, she stars in Maggie, a new Canadian musical created and co-written by Johnny Reid and Matt Murray.
