Ger Carriere is stepping into a lighter, more expansive corner of her sound with her latest single, “Honeybees,” the first glimpse of her upcoming EP. Known for music that radiates intensity and attitude, this track feels looser, sunnier, and more reflective. It’s less about breaking from the past and more about stretching her signature style …
There’s a moment in “BEAUTY TEARS” where everything just seems to hover: the beat, the voice, the emotion. Like the song is deciding whether to break apart or lift off. Amidst this tension GAB SAFA finds her footing and builds a track that moves through feeling.
On paper, the elements are familiar: synth driven production, a steady electronic pulse and vocals that leans into intimacy. But what Safa does with those elements feels more considered than most. Working with producers Myya Lal and Keandra Lal, she creates a sound that’s as interested in space as it is in impact. The quieter moments are not filler. They are where the song breathes, where it gathers itself before pushing forwards once again.
Nova Scotia-raised, Ottawa-based singer-songwriter Malia Rogers returns with “Sunlight (A Good Death),” a healing, Celtic-influenced folk single that approaches loss through the lens of gratitude rather than despair.

There’s a moment in “Again” where everything feels suspended: the piano, the voice and the sense of emotional gravity. Like the song is waiting to see whether it will collapse inward or hold its shape. Within that tension, Grace Frances finds her footing and builds a moving debut.
On paper, the elements are simple: piano-led production, sparse cinematic textures and vocals that stay deliberately close to the skin. But what Frances does with these elements feels intentional in a way that goes beyond minimalism. Working with producer Eddy Beethoven, she constructs a track that treats silence as an active presence rather than an absence. The spaces between phrases feel charged, as if the song is thinking as much as it is speaking. Continue reading

A title track has a job to do. It has to carry the name of the entire record, distil its themes and convince the listener that everything else belongs beneath its banner. That’s no small task, but “Devil By My Side” does wear this responsibility. As the centrepiece of Wayward Sparrow’s debut album, it introduces the darkness, humanity and understated storytelling that Rich Clark has been quietly building towards for years.
It opens the door to a bleak and uncomfortable landscape where addiction, self-destruction and the erosion of control play out with honesty. Now, with the release of its official music video, that world becomes even more vivid. Continue reading

Immortalized by generations of jazz and blues artists, its smoky allure and familiar narrative have endured for decades. But rather than preserving the song in amber, jen M chooses to ask what it might say if it were written today. Continue reading
There is a certain kind of song that doesn’t feel written so much as it is retrieved – pulled out of time, dusted off and suddenly revealed to have been waiting patiently for its moment all along. Scarlet Ayliz’s “Say I” fits that description with an uncanny precision. Continue reading
