2013 album from the Canadian singer/songwriter. The first single and first song recorded for Harmony, 'Stompa' is infused with the creative rush Ryder felt in making the music. Recorded at the Los Angeles home studio of producer-composer Jerrod Bettis, the song grew naturally and quickly from a simple riff into this full-blown declaration of a young artist finding new levels of expression. And the whole thing took three hours, start to finish - a pace maintained the rest of the way, with the entire album completed in just a few weeks. That's all the more remarkable as it came after Ryder, winner of the Juno Best New Artist honors, had written 60 songs for the album and then decided to throw them all out. It allowed her a fresh start, to embrace her full musical self. Working with both Bettis and producer Jon Levine, in Los Angeles and in her backyard studio at home in Toronto, Ryder was able to put it all together.
