Montreal-based alt-pop singer-songwriter, Emi Jeen, is entering a new era with “Everything, Something, Nothing,” the first single from her transformative second EP, Why So Serious, co-written with Evan Blair.

“You were my everything then just something I kinda like and now you’re nothing.”

This track is an attitude-filled, vocal-forward track which captures a feeling of abandon, reflecting on how strange it is to be so close to someone and then suddenly become strangers.

“Everything, Something, Nothing” channels the 90s with its energetic drums and hooky guitars which explode into the song’s chorus.

Fresh out of university, Toronto-based singer/songwriter and producer Lyle Kam channels sonic inspiration from artists like Lauv, Jeremy Zucker, and Charlie Puth. After the success of his debut EP Folly – featuring the Tik Tok viral single “Unlove” – Lyle is returning in 2022 with a fresh batch of music featuring his trademark introspection about love, loss, and belonging.

“what if i had told you” is the only ballad in the upcoming EP and Lyle’s aim with this song was for it to feel raw and intimate because of how personal the topic is. There’s the obvious sadness and wistfulness of the lyrics, but beyond that, there’s a more subtle meaning behind them. The lyrics also signify the understanding that maybe there’s nothing left to salvage of the relationship, that it ran its course, and it’s only a matter of time before two people who were close become strangers.

“This song really taught me to go after and fight for the things you want before it’s too late,” says Lyle. “You can’t guarantee that someone who has always been in your life will always be in your life. It’s a general life lesson that life is too short to always be questioning yourself.”

The musical vastness and ambivalence of Declan O’Donovan’s sound is reflected by the picturesque backdrop between his home of Whitehorse in Canada’s Yukon and the urban centres from Toronto to Montreal that he frequents. For over a decade, the Canadian has succeeded in creating stylistically unique fusions of the most diverse of song writing approaches. 

The music for “Get Thee Behind The Wheel” was written on a purple baby grand piano in a basement filled with spiders on Vancouver Island. The owner of the piano and the house where it lived was an unfettered conspiracy theorist (and hoarder) who would show up regularly and unannounced and inundate O’ Donovan with his theories of the world. O’Donovan has no doubt that the setting and mindset of this weird ass time and place informed the strange rhythms and melodies in the song.

A producer and lyricist through-and-through, rapper CustodyMusic produces and records melodic music that’s inspired by candid reflections on life. 

For the past few years, the Toronto-hailing artist has made his way around his local music scene, releasing singles like, “Toxic” and “Too Much Auto-Tune,” as well as collaborating with some of the city’s biggest names.

His futuristic new single, “Skyfall,” draws inspiration from the behavioural changes that CustodyMusic has witnessed in others when they achieve success. Often this treatment of others can cause people to withdraw from their presence.

Hard hitting 808’s, synths, and assertive vocals define CustodyMusic’s righteous delivery.

The song’s mysterious video, directed by Marcus Letts, shrouds the rapper’s message in an intentional layer of anonymity.

Pride can ultimately be one’s downfall. The message of “Skyfall” is to stay grounded and humble throughout all of life’s experiences, not letting inflated notions get to your head.

Neela is a multi-talented R&B singer-songwriter based between Toronto and Vancouver. A lover of the arts, the songstress has found creative outlets in the local theatre and music scenes of her respective cities. 

Her latest release, “Exposed,” is the title track from her upcoming third EP, produced by Grammy-nominated producer Akeel Henry and Kofo (Giveon, Loony, Shawn Mendes).

This gentle and sweetly sung release is a stripped back declaration of love for her partner and a renewed sense of self-love which Neela developed through her experience of weight loss, grappling with the insecurities that years of scrutiny and bullying left her with.

“Exposed” charts the journey that Neela has been on to accept her story, body, and identity – loose skin, stretchmarks, and all.

Canadian punk-rock band Headstones are back with their highly anticipated full-length album, Flight Risk, out October 14 via Known Accomplice. Flight Risk is pre-apocalyptic rock and roll at its finest, following up their 2019 release PeopleSkills, which garnered two Top 10 radio hits with “Leave It All Behind” and “Horses.” One of the most subversive Headstones rock and roll records to date, Flight Risk is the result of years of relentless work ethic and dedication – a testament to the long-standing relationships within the band and their team. 

Since the release of their last album, Headstones frontman Hugh Dillon has maintained a frenetic pace, balancing writing and recording new music with his acting and producing duties. Most recently, he co-created Paramount+ original series Mayor Of Kingstown with Taylor Sheridan who he previously worked with on the critically acclaimed drama Yellowstone. 
“Psychotropic,” the latest single to be shared from Flight Risk, is a relentless ripper about our profound need to connect.
