Song: How To Live With Yourself
Notes: Toronto’s PUP (the band) are here for us again on How To Live With Yourself and we’re glad to have them! The track is fast and fun and moves for every second of its 2:45. On play number one it made my tap my feet. It made me move. It made me want to be at a live show with sweat and loud speakers and I like that from my rock and roll. Turn this one up!

Song: Thicc As Thieves
Notes: Lauren Alaina’s new 6-song EP, Unlocked is here and it features Thicc As Thieves with Lainey Wilson in the last spot on the album. It’s a great way to wrap up the release. It’s fun, has a little dance built in (check out Ms Alaina’s IG), it nods directly to Country Girl Shake It For Me, and it’s fun – did I say that already? The two southern country singers come together for a three-minute light-hearted good time – and as much as we love a slow sad country song – there ain’t nothin’ wrong with a ditty like this that puts a smile on your face. Have fun!

Song: easier said
Notes: elijah woods has a sad bop for us with easier said from his new what if it was great? EP. The Canadian pop-maker wrote, produced and sang the track, taking complete ownership over the proceedings – and the feelings. And it’s not light on the feelings. Hit play and get your in your feelings with him.

Song: Rainbows in Gasoline
Notes: Amanda Marshall is a legend and a treasure, and she’s back baby! Rainbows in Gasoline is track 5 on her brand new Heavy Lifting album – and if you loved her with Dark Horse and Birmingham, you’ll be sucked right back in. It’s the same power and gravity in her voice, it’s the vibe, it’s the whole thing, but with new stories, new experiences and most importantly, NEW MUSIC!

Song: She Got That
Notes: Your boys, River Town Saints are here with a new one, and She Got That does all the things I want it to do. 1) It grooves and is a bunch of fun. 2) It feels like RTS in all the ways I love. 3) It’s ready to be a sunny summer jam. 4) It makes me want the fellas to go ahead and drop a full album of new music. Enjoy this one with me and stay tuned for more like I am.
