Artist: FIONN
Hometown: White Rock, BC
Genre: Alt-Pop
Related Artists: Fake Shark, Whitehorse, Terra Lightfoot
Song: Take Me Back
Notes: Emerging twin pop singer-songwriters FIONN are back at it with another new one in Take Me Back. The BC duo yearn to go back to another time (we’ve all been there) while continuing to explore sounds, styles, lyrics and their musical wheelhouse. Also, don’t ever underestimate sibling harmonies – ever. There will be more from FIONN, and we’ll be ready for it. And you should be too. For now, enjoy Take Me Back.

Artist: Nicole Rayy
Hometown: Oakville, ON
Genre: Country
Related: Alee, Jess and Tay, Leah Daniels
Song: Feels Like Yesterday
Notes: Ontario country artist Nicole Rayy travels back to the pre-cell phone, pre-social media, pre-streaming 90s. It’s nostalgia and fun. Feels Like Yesterday is wistful, but it’s also got love for the pop we loved (and those Third Eye Blind do do do’s are unmistakeable) and still turn way up loud. But mostly, it’s Nicole Rayy giving fans another one to listen to, learn, and get ready to sing along to.
