Why we should be kinder about Xavier Trudeau's new single
Toronto Star culture writer Richie Assaly shares why he welcomes the prime minister's son's debut song
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's eldest son, Xavier Trudeau, briefly stepped out of his family's shadow on Friday when he released his debut single.
Titled Til The Nights Done, the R&B song was released under the artist name Xav on music streaming platforms. While many were quick to jump in the comment section and share their critiques of the track, Toronto Star culture reporter Richie Assaly argued the (albeit bland) track offered a reprieve from an otherwise chaotic state of the world.
Today on Commotion, Assaly tells host Elamin Abdelmahmoud why he welcomes Xavier Trudeau's foray into the music industry.
