Artist: Maren Morris
Hometown: Arlington, TX
Genre: Country
Related: Kelsea Ballerini, Cam, Kacey Musgraves
Song: Better Than We Found It
Notes: Maren Morris is one of the most impactful voices in Nashville right now. She is a trailblazing artist and performer making her mark on the country and pop charts, award ceremonies, and in culture-at-large. Better Than We Found it is a powerful track from Morris, one that highlights the current state of affairs raging in America and in many places around the world. The video is equally, if not more powerful, highlighting stories of DREAMERS, young advocates for equality, and a man shot and killed by a Nashville police officer. Add in Maren Morris’ personal letter to her infant son, read as a voiceover at the end of the video and things get even more emotional. Hit play now.

Artist: Lindsay Ell
Hometown: Calgary, AB
Genre: Country
Related Artists: Carrie Underwood, Meghan Patrick, Jess Moskaluke
Song: Workin’ Out
Notes: Acclaimed Canadian country artist Lindsay Ell is back with Workin’ Out, and we’re here for it. It’s a silver-lining spotlight pointing to the things that seem like they’re all wrong when they could be directing us to what’s right. The positivity is something that we all could probably use a little more of, and while it can be hard as hell to embrace a “C’est la vie” mindset sometimes, it’s worth aiming for. Get ready to want to dance along.

Artist: The Elwins
Hometown: Keswick, ON
Genre: Rock / Alternative
Related Artists: The Zolas, Yukon Blonde, Hollerado
Song: Hung Up
Notes: The Elwins are back with Hung Up and we already want more. The Ontario rock band brings a catchy ditty to the table on this one and if it’s any indication of what we can look forward to on their upcoming album, IV, all we can do is smile. We’ve been happy to hear from these guys every time they’ve had new material to share, and this time is no different. Turn it up and have fun.

Artist: Livy Jeanne
Hometown: Edmonton, AB
Genre: Pop
Related Artists: Lennon Stella, The Band Perry, Danielle Bradbery
Song: Right One
Notes: The day before release, Livy Jeanne posted that she was a little bit nervous about dropping Right One… but in a good way. The emerging pop star continues to find herself and her sound as a writer and singer in the genre and it’s been fun to watch. The message though is a relatable one to anyone that’s been stuck in a search for love. “I’ve been wrong for so long, I don’t think I could recognize the right one.” Amen. The video comes with the single, showing Livy home and experiencing all the feelings she’s singing about. Whether it’s in the kitchen, the empty living room or in the tub. Keep an eye on Livy Jeanne.

Song: Lonely Lullaby
Notes: As the pandemic rolls on, Command Sisters continue to release their first string of singles and earn more eyes and ears. Lonely Lullaby is the newest of the sisters’ 2020 music, and while it leans more to the pop side, they still come with everything they’ve got. The vocals, guitars, and production come together to create a track that should earn them even more spins in the coming days, weeks, and months as Charlotte and Sarah keep moving forward in their burgeoning career.
