Let’s do this!
Artist: Arkells
Hometown: Hamilton, ON
Genre: Rock
Related Artists: Matt Mays, Sam Roberts Band, Hey Rosetta!
Song: People’s Champ
Notes: Canada’s hottest rockers are back with another banger! People’s Champ is catchy, fun, and will make you want to dance. And we’re certain that it’s the next in a long line of tracks from the Hamilton band that people are going to love. And when it comes to things to love about it, we’re all in on this line from early in the song: “But if you look back far enough, and find the place you started, before you held a grudge, or the highest office.”, wonder who that could be about?

Hometown: Ottawa, ON
Genre: Country
Related Artists: Meghan Patrick, Jess Moskaluke, Alee
Song: Little Girl
Notes: After a long layoff, Kira Isabella is back with her second single of 2018, and Little Girl is a good one. With a message that young women should let soak into their beings and remember, this one is important. “If they go low, you go high. Don’t ever let ’em make you feel little girl.”

Genre: Country
Related Artists: Tim Hicks, Ben Hudson, Kris Barclay
Song: Noise
Notes: Noise is the anticipated new single from the award winning former Cold Creek Country frontman. With energy and melodies that allow for a good time and a smile, Scott has shown what he’s got to offer as a solo artist.

Artist: Into The Ark
Hometown: Blackwood, Wales
Genre: Acoustic Soul / Pop
Related Artists: Eliza and the Bear, Max Milner, Jolan
Song: No Place Like Home
Notes: Finalists on The Voice UK, Into The Ark have some reality show fame to help them on their way. But if they keep releasing songs with the heart, soul, and talent that they show on No Place Like Home, it won’t be long until people start forgetting about that – and new fans discover them that never knew.

Artist: Sampson
Hometown: Halifax, Nova Scotia
Genre: Pop
Related Artists: Salena Godden, Afan Ludo, Frisko
Song: Damned
Notes: Damned is a little dark, hits evenly with the beat, and is tied together with the lyrics and voice of Sampson. Hit play and give it a listen or two to let it sink in and grab you… because it will.
