When indie-pop royalty joins forces with festival powerhouses, extraordinary things occur. “Right On Time,” the latest collaboration between Juno award winner Felix Cartal and alt-pop icons Tegan and Sara, transcends the typical dance track – it serves as a heartfelt tribute to 90s rave culture, crafted by artists who experienced it firsthand. Long before EDM became a mainstream phenomenon, Tegan and Sara embraced dance music early on, contributing their unique harmonies to tracks by Tiësto and David Guetta. Now, they’ve found an ideal modern collaborator in Cartal, whose platinum-certified work with artists like Lights and Karen Harding showcases his ability to elevate iconic voices. Drawing from their teenage memories of Calgary raves for lyrical inspiration, Tegan and Sara infuse nostalgia into their music, while Cartal, after “only 30 versions,” presents a stadium-ready production that respects both their indie roots and his festival expertise. As it arrives just ahead of his Spring 2025 North American tour, “Right On Time” demonstrates that some collaborations are indeed worth the wait, even if they require 30 attempts to perfect.
