The celebrated and award-winning singer/songwriter shows exactly why she’s so highly regarded and gives us lyrics, music, and feelings that we can’t ignore and don’t want to for 5 straight minutes on this one.

Notes: Last Birthday is the new album from Valley, and Cure comes in at song #3 of 8 on the record. The Toronto pop quartet jumps right into it (including a new video) and we’re here for it. Having seen the band live, we can imagine this new music coming from the stage, and it’s gonna be a blast, just like it is at home. Turn it up!

Notes: Dear LØLØ, go get him. u look stupid goes hard and cuts deep, and it feels like whoever is on the receiving end deserves it. Buckle up and go for a ride with this emerging star, it’s been a fun ride so far, and it feels like there’s a lot more to come. Enjoy!

Artist: elijah woods
Hometown: Perth, ON
Genre: Pop
Related: JESSIA, Scott Helman, Delaney Jane
Song: someone new
Notes: someone new is a synthy, emo, sad ballad from elijah woods as he prepares to release his debut solo EP later this month. Following the success of woods’ last single, lights, we’re getting a deeper sense of what the singer/songwriter/producer has to offer on his own – and we’re into it. Gimme more.

“This is one of my favourite songs I’ve ever shared.” – elijah woods

Artist: Manny Blu
Hometown: Montreal, QC / Nashville, TN
Genre: Country
Related Artists: Matt Lang, David James, Jade Eagleson
Song: Doin’ Fine
Notes: Manny Blu’s new EP Country Punk is on the way, and Doin’ Fine comes as the lead single from the Montreal country artist. The uptempo track gives a good time vibe and shows off Blu’s voice and energy from start to finish. If the rest of the EP is like this, it’s going to be fun.

“Doin’ Fine” is a song about being in Nashville and chasing the dream with a community of people doing the same thing. We’re all figuring out our own path, having fun, but constantly wanting more. We are all out here grinding until we reach the big lights of a stadium, and until then, we’re all out here doin’ fine.” – Manny Blu
