Ready? Let’s go!
Artist: The Killers
Hometown: Las Vegas, NV
Genre: Rock
Related Artists: Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, The Strokes
Song: C’est La Vie
Notes: The Killers are at it again with C’est La Vie, and we’re here for it. The message in the song is simple, sometimes things are good and sometimes they are bad. But it’s an upbeat presentation and Flowers sings it with the kind of pep we needed to hear these words in right now.

Artist: Rag’n’Bone Man
Hometown: Uckfield, East Sussex, UK
Genre: Pop
Related: Bishop Briggs, Jacob Banks, Tom Grennan
Song: All You Ever Wanted
Notes: Rag’n’Bone Man is back! It’s been a while since we’ve heard from him (other than an appearance on the BBC collaborative cover of Times Like These), but now he’s here with All You Ever Wanted and the announcement of an upcoming album, Life By Misadventure (April 23, 2021). If you think Human when you hear his name, don’t expect the same sound when you hit play on All You Ever Wanted. This one is a jam, it moves quickly. It’ll make you tap your toes and sing along with the chorus and put a smile on your face. Enjoy!

Artist: Megan Nash & the Best of Intentions
Hometown: Mortlach, SK
Genre: Alternative
Related: Terra Lightfoot, Poor Nameless Boy, William Prince
Song: Quiet
Notes: Megan Nash is a hell of a singer-songwriter and she doesn’t get as much love for it as she should. Quiet shows listeners what she’s got to give, and if this is your introduction to her, turn it up and dive in. The instrumentals are good, the lyrics are good, and Megan Nash’s voice makes us want to listen all day. Turn it up.

Artist: LØLØ
Hometown: Toronto, ON
Genre: Pop
Related: DYLN, Sophie Rose, Claire Ridgely
Song: lonely & pathetic
Notes: With distorted guitars and beats in the background, LØLØ sings lonely & pathetic with energy and the feeling that she really means it! The emerging pop singer keeps giving us reasons to tune in when she drops new material. And if she’s got more coming in 2021 that hits like this one, we’re in.

Artist: Caveboy
Hometown: Montreal, QC
Genre: Alt Dream Pop
Related: Parallels, Youngblood, Common Deer
Song: Dirty Hands
Song: Good in You
Notes: To celebrate the one year anniversary of their album, Night in the Park, Kiss in the Dark, Caveboy have released a digital deluxe edition that includes two new songs: Dirty Hands and Good in You. We’ve been in on Caveboy for the last few years now, and these new songs remind us why. We like the way they put songs together. We like the way they sound when they record them. And, we really like the way they perform them and we can’t wait for the chance to see that again as soon as possible.
About Dirty Hands, Michelle says, “Dirty Hands was written at a time when we felt like we were putting everything into our career goals and really feeling the uphill climb. It’s about the idea of dreaming of something for so long, and wondering if it’s ever going to come true – and if it does, will it be what you wanted?”
And about Good in You, Isabelle says, “This song started as my own little private anthem but it really came alive as this vibrant piece of youthful naivety and nostalgia when Michelle and Lana helped bring into the Caveboy world. It’s a reflection on the clarity of hindsight – when the rose coloured glasses come off and you can see past moments and memories in a completely different light.”
