NEW RELEASE FROM THE TRAGICALLY HIP, CITY AND COLOUR, RUBY WATERS, BOI-1DA & CANADA SOCCER “AHEAD BY A CENTURY”
UNIVERSAL MUSIC CANADA
A new chapter is unfolding for one of Canada’s most cherished rock anthems. The Tragically Hip have joined forces with a dynamic lineup of artists – City and Colour, Ruby Waters, and renowned producer Boi-1da – to reinvent their iconic 1996 track, “Ahead by a Century,” originally featured on the album Trouble At The Henhouse. This collaboration blends the timeless songwriting of The Hip with fresh, contemporary sounds, creating a powerful and evocative reinterpretation that resonates across generations.
Adding a unique twist to the project, Canada Soccer has also partnered in this creative endeavor, linking the music to the energy and unity that sports inspire. As the World Cup approaches this June, this reimagined anthem arrives as a fitting soundtrack to moments of passion and celebration, capturing both the spirit of the game and the enduring legacy of Canadian music.
