Toronto-based four piece Wild Rivers – comprised of Khalid Yassein, Devan Glover, Andrew Oliver, and Julien Laferriere – is bringing us back to our roots with their robust and enormously alluring sound. New track “Moving Target” is a love song in its own respect, though addresses heartache at its core instead of the puppy love stage. As our female vocalist gut-wrenchingly ponders, “Are we out of touch?” the lyrics begin to unravel in a real and poignant way for us all.
If you’re looking for a new ballad to belt out on your drive home, this is the one.

Dublin-based art-folk brother duo Richie and Jamie Martin have created quite a bit of magic with their music under the moniker Cry Monster Cry. Today, the Richey McCourt remix of their track “Citadel” is released, with slight edits made to the original visuals. Neither track is better than the other, a completely different set of emotions associated with each soundscape. Though we will admit that the poignant words wrench at your heart ever the same.
Try it on for size!

We almost didn’t think it could get any better for Kat Saul after she released her poetically titled track “Nick Miller”, but she’s increased the WOW factor with brand new track “Middle Name”, out today. The Nashville-based alt-pop artist captivates with her robust, raspy vocals, as the song peels out into a party track, mellifluous and fun in its disposition. As she implores her love interest to “get on a middle name basis,” we’re rooting for her. This song will be perfect for all of your future flirtatious evenings, and equally belongs on your “getting ready to go out” and “new party” soundtracks.
Enjoy.

Quebec City-based musical duo Fjord released their latest track “My Body So Calm” last Friday, and we’ve been smooth jammin’ to it all weekend. The song is both calming and invigorating in its existence, the instrumentals so lush and vibrant, but presented in a way that is soothing. It’s almost impossible to understand the mood it has the ability to sway you into unless you experience the track for yourself. So, you’re welcome, world. Experience it.

We might have to wait until April 5th to hear feminist synth-pop artist Birch‘s femme.one in its entirety, but a piece of the puzzle has been unveiled with her latest track “Spelling Lessons”. A moderate tempo established, Michelle Birsky’s vocals hit the track in an almost angelic way. Because of this, the track envelopes us in the audible version of a warm embrace, despite its poignant lyrics highlighting the sad reality that is a woman’s fear of speaking out in today’s society. Sobering, yet light, this song presents a beautiful and enigmatic contrast that will sit with us for quite some time.

I’m an Aquarius. We are spontaneous, free thinking, innovative, sometimes aloof and obstinate (!) and we don’t like to follow the crowd. This playlist represents a period in time that was so inspiring for me as a musician and fledgling producer. I spent a lot of time between London, New York and Los Angeles, the hip hop and RnB of that time was everything. These were the artists that carved out their own paths, with respectful nods to jazz and classic soul, which, combined with taste maker producers like J Dilla, influenced a genre of music, that some considered ‘neo-soul’, but with a dash of spirituality and a heartbeat that made you screw your face up and nod your head hard, became my ‘good place.’

Dallas-based songstress Emmeline sets the stage for her most recent single “Superheroes” with the sound of rolling thunder and rain, her vocals easing into the track in a very Jessica Rabbit way, if we do say so ourselves. Emmeline’s vocal range makes her perfect for the stage, the song itself incredibly theatric and layered in a fun and powerful way.
If it had been up to us, this would have been the anthem for the Women’s March, but who are we?

Pop artist Ella Vos has created yet another earworm with new track “Temporary”. Coming from her new EP titled Watch & Wait, out January 25th, the song itself is like a shot of adrenaline in a quiet, meaningful, and ethereal way. Ella’s vocals alone could carry your energy for a few days off of one song, but her consistent reminder throughout that “Time is solely temporary” reminds us to take it all in stride as well. You’ll want to keep this one in your back pocket.
