Island musician reimagines Canadian classic 'Spaceship Superstar' on new album
- Jamie Penner, a musician from Nanaimo, released his seventh album, Something a Little Different, on May 9, 2025.
- Penner created this album blending rock, orchestration, ambient textures, and jazz moods to offer a varied musical experience.
- The album comprises 11 songs, including a pair that feature collaborations with blues-rock artist James Vickers, as well as a fully instrumental reinterpretation of Prism’s 1977 track Spaceship Superstar.
- Penner kept the cover secret from Prism's leader Al Harlow until recording the last vocal melody, after which Harlow shared it with original writer Jim Vallance, who reportedly enjoyed it.
- Penner said Something a Little Different appeals to fans of 1970s-1980s Canadian rock and noted he is already working on his next album.
