Toronto-based indie-pop artist goodheart captures the quiet ache of emotional in-betweens on her debut EP Blue and Other Colours – a self-produced five-track project that explores disconnection, heartbreak, longing, and self-reckoning through shimmering melodies and honest storytelling. With elements of indie-pop, folk, and alt-rock woven through its sound, the EP invites listeners to sit with sadness – not to wallow in it, but to understand it.
From the friction of fading friendships to the numbness of everyday apathy, Blue and Other Colours traces deeply personal experiences with a diaristic sensibility and cinematic edge. Whether it’s the drifting isolation of “Casey,” the quiet resentment of “Funeral,” or the dreamlike malaise of “Stuck in a Cloud,” goodheart doesn’t shy away from emotional complexity. Instead, she leans in to build lush, dynamic soundscapes that feel both intimate and expansive.
The focus track, “Silverspoon Sunday,” is one of the EP’s most biting and buoyant moments. With crisp drums, layered guitar work, and bright vocal delivery, it offers a sugar-coated critique of privilege and passivity. “It’s about comfort becoming a kind of cage,” says goodheart. “Some people are handed every opportunity and still feel stuck. They coast instead of confronting the real stuff.”
Despite its polished surface, the structure of “Silverspoon Sunday” subtly shifts throughout, avoiding traditional pop repetition and instead offering a dynamic chord progression that mirrors the unease beneath its brightness. “I love songs that sneak heavier truths into something that feels fun. This one is a bitter pill with a sugar coating.”

Some of the inspiration came from moments I hadn’t fully processed – memories that stuck around a little too long, conversations I never had. Writing these songs helped me make sense of those, or at least feel less alone in them. – goodheart
Paradise can be a prison
When the only place you’re living’s inside
Blue and Other Colours was written and produced entirely by goodheart, with drums recorded at Giant Studios and final touches shaped in collaboration with long-time creative partners David Matta (engineer), Connor MacArthur (drums), Mitch Holmes (guitar), and Ryan Cowan (bass/keys). Once mixed remotely with Matta, the songs were mastered by Kristian Montano.
“It taught me that you can’t really outrun your feelings – you just have to find a way to write them down and give them shape,” she says. “And that good things really do take time.”
