GOLDEN is the newest release from singer-songwriter Chris Assaad. His fourth studio album and without question, his most raw, potent and vulnerable offering to date.

“The redemptive power of love and the uplifting magic of a sweet, soulful melody are two of life’s most beautiful phenomena—kindred emanations of spirit. On his new album, GOLDEN, Assaad probes that deep heart connection. Over the course of eleven superbly-crafted songs, Assaad taps into the emotional expressiveness of classic soul and r&b to deliver empowering lyrics that confront life’s pain and doubt—emerging triumphantly into that transcendent light which transforms suffering to joy.” ~ Brightstar

Meet Chris

Chris Assaad is a multi-talented artist, singer-songwriter, wordsmith and speaker. Chris’ artist journey began with a leap several years ago to follow his heart and passion for music. Just as he began exploring his love of singing and songwriting he was suddenly faced with a rapidly progressing hereditary hearing loss condition. Nearly two years and several surgeries later, Chris's hearing was restored and he was given a second chance, further cementing his path of a life dedicated to his artistry. He has become an inspirational voice for others to follow their creative and spiritual paths towards living a life they love. 

Chris recently put the finishing touches on his upcoming album entitled GOLDEN. The album was recorded in Victoria, BC in collaboration with producer Joby Baker (Deva Premal & Miten, Alex Cuba & the Wailin' Jennys) who also produced Assaad’s LION LP. GOLDEN is out now and available on all platforms, released in partnership with White Swan Records & Black Swan Sounds.

Chris’ music soothes and seduces with exquisite layers of electric and acoustic guitars falling over R&B and soul-infused grooves serenaded by Chris's richly textured emotive vocals. An up-and-coming artist within the conscious music community and wellness & transformation movement, Chris has opened up for musical artists Trevor Hall, Ayla Nereo, Michael Franti and The Wood Brothers. He has been growing an international grassroots community, sharing his eclectic blend of soulful roots music, heart-opening songs and stories with audiences in Canada, Australia, the US and Europe playing clubs and festival dates from Wanderlust Whistler to The Sound Dome in Sydney.

The GOLDEN Album Launch Celebration will take place in Toronto on Friday, December 2nd, 2022 and will be live streaming worldwide.
