The Demos is the second studio album by Canadian country artist Jess Moskaluke. [2] [3] It was released on February 19, 2021, through MDM Recordings. [4] [5] It includes the number-one Canada Country hit " Country Girls", [6] as well as " Halfway Home", [7] " Mapdot", [8] " Leave Each Other Alone", [9] and "Nothin' I Don't Love About You". [10]
Before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Moskaluke had not intended to release an album for some time, intending to work on singles instead. [2] After the institution of travel restrictions, she could not travel from her home in Saskatchewan to Nashville, Tennessee to record new music with producer Corey Crowder. [4] Rather than writing new songs, Moskaluke decided to delve into her back catalogue of songs she had never recorded on past albums. [3] She worked with Crowder to virtually turn the demos of these songs into a fully-produced record. [4]
The Demos received generally positive reviews. Joshua Murray of The Reviews Are In called the album a "good listen" that "[doesn't] seem to go by too quickly or too slowly". [1] Kim Hughes of Parton and Pearl noted Moskaluke's "mighty, indefatigable" voice. [11] Hannah Rastrick of Complete Country said that the "songs cover every stage of love that we can all relate to" and referred to Moskaluke's vocals as "spot on". [12]
