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 often an assumption that albums born later in an artist’s life are reflective by default – gentler, perhaps, more reserved and content to look backward rather than push forwards. But Never Too Late, the latest release from Bruce Rosenblum, doesn’t quite follow that script. While it certainly carries the breadth of life experience, it also feels quietly exploratory, as though the act of returning to songwriting has opened as many doors as it has revisited.
This is definitely a songwriter’s record: guitar, voice and story are leading the way, but it doesn’t take long to realize that Rosenblum is less interested in staying within the traditional boundaries of the form than in stretching them. Folk and folk-rock may provide the foundation here, but the album moves easily through jazz inflected passages, country leaning textures and moments shaped by a classical sensibility. It’s not genre hopping for its own sake; rather, it feels like a natural extension of a musical language built over time. Continue reading
