Brett Kissel has released the second instalment of his Compass Project titled: East Album. It’s a great follow up to his well received South Album – the previous one. Over the next year Brett will be releasing 2 more albums to round out the project.
It’s an interesting idea … the project is essentially a love song to each corner of the country. The latest instalment is a love letter to Canada’s East Coast.

East Album
Brett Kissel’s new album “East” is finally here, marking the second release in his four-part album experience, The Compass Project. The ten-track collection of stripped-down, heartfelt, and acoustic songs is inspired by Kissel’s love of Canada’s east coast and his desire to take a slower approach to life.
The lead track “Spend A Little Time With You” sets the tone for the album with its thoughtful songwriting and acoustic arrangements. The song highlights Kissel’s signature vocals, which are backed by beautiful acoustic instrumentation.
In addition to his original compositions, the album also features a very special duet between Kissel and his wife Cecilia on “Sanctuary.” The track is a beautiful and intimate moment that showcases their undeniable chemistry and heartfelt emotions.
Kissel also covers Hollow Coves’ “Coastline” on the album, adding his own sentimental touch to the track. The acoustic instrumentation is stripped down, allowing the lyrics to take center stage and create a truly emotional experience for listeners.
Other standout tracks on the album include “Port Colborne,” a nostalgic and sentimental ode to Kissel’s hometown, and “Meet Me In Vegas,” a fun and upbeat track that showcases Kissel’s versatility as a performer.
The success of The Compass Project continues to shine as South Album’s lead single “Never Have I Ever” cracks Top 40 at country radio and Kissel kicks off the summer touring season. With the release of East, Kissel once again demonstrates his ability to create emotionally charged and relatable music that connects with fans on a deep level.
East Album drops just days after Kissel was honoured with the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal at the National Music Centre in Calgary, AB. The medal is awarded for outstanding contributions to the province of Alberta, and Kissel was deeply honoured to receive the recognition.
With East, Brett Kissel continues to show why he is one of Canada’s most beloved country artists. His ability to create emotionally charged and relatable music is unparalleled, and fans can’t wait to see what the next two instalments of The Compass Project have in store.
