Toronto-based dream pop/new wave/indie rock duo Jackie and her brother (made up of siblings Jackie and Mark Andrade) have dropped their debut single “You’ve Changed” and its accompanying visuals.
Jackie and Mark make emotional, reflective music from their home studio with a DIY sound and aesthetic. With “You’ve Changed”, the siblings, hint at the wonder and fears of coming of age that everyone goes through. Using 80s inspired emotionally charged production, they explore the fears and inevitability of growing up.
Commenting on the track, Jackie shares:
“Instead of making a song about a lover or another, we thought it was more interesting to start writing about ourselves. This song was something my brother and I could instantly relate to. Looking back on our lives or even just looking back on the past few years, we saw huge changes in the way we interact with the world. These changes were for the better and that was a huge inspiration to make some music about it.”

About
Jackie and Mark grew up in the suburbs near Toronto, ON, only to cross paths musically later in life. Being in a band with family is not always easy; a relationship impacted by years of familiarity and family dynamics. The siblings decided to work on several songs that remained unfinished and forgotten. The result is a new project from Jackie and Mark Andrade. The name, Jackie and her brother, is a simple way to describe their dynamic and their shared love for catchy, pop-inspired bands that they listened to across different decades as they grew up.
