q's Thursday Headliner: Toronto R&B singer Amaal

In a segment that we call the q Thursday Headliner, we're kicking off the show with a live performance from a band or artist we think you need to hear.

This week, Toronto R&B singer Amaal brings her smooth and sultry sound to the q studio for a live performance and chat with host Tom Power. Her debut EP is called Black Dove and it's out everywhere now.

You can watch the full performances below. Amaal was joined by TJ Whitelaw on guitar and Juliana Iannuzziello on keys.
