Molly Johnson unites generations on new Long Time Running EP featuring Haviah Mighty

On the three-song EP, Johnson collaborates with Haviah Mighty on “Talk To Me,” alongside “Long Time Running” and new original “Slipped Away”

24 APRIL 2026 (TORONTO, ON) – Recognized as one of Canada’s greatest voices, Molly Johnson releases her new three-song EP Long Time Running, a powerful and deeply collaborative project that brings her together with a new generation of artists. Included on the EP is “Talk To Me,” a striking new collaboration with acclaimed rapper Haviah Mighty, produced by rising talent Jonathan “CUBE” Renaud, alongside a reimagined take on The Tragically Hip’s “Long Time Running” with Jim Cuddy and the original composition “Slipped Away,” written by Molly Johnson and Davide Di Renzo.

“Talk To Me” marks a bold new direction for Johnson, pairing her signature vocal style with the sharp lyricism of JUNO Award-winning rapper Haviah Mighty. Structured as a call and response, the track becomes a compelling exchange between two distinct voices, reflecting a meaningful dialogue between generations.

“Such joy to work with Haviah Mighty, a brilliant, collaborative woman. The idea that we need to really listen to younger voices is what ‘Talk To Me’ is all about,” says Molly Johnson.

The Long Time Running EP is available now via Universal Music Canada. Listen HERE.

The EP features Johnson’s stirring interpretation of The Tragically Hip’s “Long Time Running,” recorded with Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo, produced by Davide Di Renzo. First released in 1991, the song remains a defining piece of the Canadian musical canon, and here is reimagined with a sense of intimacy and reverence that honours its enduring legacy.

Across the project, Johnson is joined by her long-time collaborators, including Davide Di Renzo, Mike Downes and Robi Botos, whose enduring musical partnership remains central to her sound.

Also included is “Slipped Away,” an original composition written by Johnson and Di Renzo that reflects on love, memory, and the lingering question of what might have been. Anchored by her unmistakable vocal, the track further showcases her strength as both a storyteller and songwriter.

More new music from Molly Johnson will be announced in the coming months.
