Goldie Boutilier

Active on the North American pop scene, Goldie Boutilier crafts a world where pop intersects with influences from soul, R&B, rock, and country, underpinned by a strong aesthetic inspired by classic cinema and Western imagery. A native of Nova Scotia, Canada, she began in the early 2010s under other monikers, initially in a pop-and-dance vein fueled by collaborations with hip-hop and electronic producers, before gradually moving toward a slower, more sensual sound infused with contemporary R&B. This shift crystallized when she adopted the name Goldie Boutilier and steered her compositions toward cinematic pop focused on storytelling, female characters, and the atmospheres of North American small towns, ranging from slow ballads to more uptempo tracks. Splitting her time between Canada, Europe, and the United States, she has built her career largely through digital releases and tours in clubs and mid-sized venues. The 2023 EP “Cowboy Gangster Politician” stands as an important milestone in this phase, foregrounding stripped-back arrangements, a voice front and center, and a pronounced taste for retro references.
