The Toronto singer-songwriter and actor Lia Pappas-Kemps (best known for her role as Jane in Anne with an E) recently released her debut EP, Gleam. She calls it a fragmented love letter to her teenage years, which isn't surprising seeing as she wrote it all between the ages of 16 and 19. Pappas-Kemps joins Tom Power to discuss the EP. Plus, she introduces us to a track called Switchblade.
