APRIL 1st 2026 - “LEGENDS & MYTHS” SUPER DELUXE EDITION

To celebrate 6 years since Reid’s debut album “Legends & Myths”, enjoy a NEW 2026 ‘Super Deluxe Edition’ featuring remixes, alternate versions, work tape recordings, as well as an updated track listing and artwork.

Inspired by nu-disco, retrowave, synthwave, dancepop, and greek mythology to pay homage to his ancestry, “Legends & Myths” arrived as Reid’s debut album back in 2020.

Many songs are written about self-acceptance and queer empowerment such as “Respect Me'“ and “Gladiator”, while Reid also explores heartbreak on moody tracks like his first single “Neon”, and the jazzy nu-disco closer “Illogical Rhythm”.

A standout track on the album is the theatrical piano ballad “Villain” which is the perfect antithesis to “Gladiator”.

The album also features two iconic collaborations - “Smoke” featuring Dante Hart finds beautiful vocal harmonies over an acoustic guitar singing about new love.

The R&B tinged “Blurry Now” with Reid’s partner Jayden Mckenzie also explores falling in love and feeling intoxicated.

“SENSES”

FEBRUARY 6TH 2026 - “SENSES” - NEW SINGLE

“SENSES” is Reid’s first musical offering of 2026. A hedonistic synth-pop track inspired by iconic pop eras such as “The Fame” by Lady Gaga, “Erotica” by Madonna, and “Blackout” by Britney Spears. The song is written all about succumbing to your senses and desires on the dancefloor. Produced by Reid Zakos, Paweland Beats, and Jayden Mckenzie, “SENSES” is an infectious and catchy grimy Y2K dancefloor pop hit that will have you dancing over and over again.

SACRED

JULY 19th 2024 - “SACRED” - NEW ALBUM

by Reid Zakos & RedPanda Productions

An album over five years in the making, Reid teamed up with Vancouver songwriter and producer RedPanda Productions (AKA Adrian Wong) for the album “SACRED”.

Adrian and Reid were first introduced through 101.9 QueerFM Radio Vancouver in 2018 and wrote the songs “Deck of Cards” and “Falling” together before working on the rest of the album.

Throughout the pandemic they worked remotely (Reid based in Calgary and Adrian in Vancouver) sending demos back and forth between each other.

Reid moved back to Vancouver in 2022 and then they went on to finish the album together, the last song completed being the tender ballad “Who I Am”.

The album begins with bold and energetic dance-pop songs such as “Need Your Touch” and “Deck of Cards” before diving into deeper themes of love, heartbreak, jealousy, and self-acceptance.

The 15-track run also includes a cover of Adele’s “Rolling In The Deep” as well as a few interludes to break the album into three distinct acts.

BRIGHTER

In 2023, Reid levelled up under the disco ball for his sophomore album “Brighter” - a 10-track dance-pop odyssey filled with club bangers such as “XtraXtra” and “Lights Out” that evoke the 2010s-era.

Elsewhere on the album, there’s more mature and introspective lyrics about feeling misunderstood, the complexities of fair-weather-friendships, danger, and drama on songs such as “Disco Ball”, “Y.D.U.M.”, “Bubble” featuring Raene, and “Danger”.

Ultimately, the album is about not allowing others to dim your shine, and to shine even brighter…
