Song: Midnight Sky (Edge of Midnight)
Notes: Miley's new album, Plastic Hearts drops on November 27, 2020 and now we know that this killer remix of Midnight Sky is going to be track #13. Legend and Hall of Famer, Stevie Nicks coming on for Midnight Sky (Edge of Midnight) is everything I could have wanted as one more reason to be excited for entire album. Dang this is good.

Song: Protect The Land
Notes: For the first time in 15 years, System Of A Down has new music, releasing Protect The Land and Genocidal Humanoidz together. But for as much celebration as there is among fans for the new music, it's important to look at the statement and reason the band has come back together to record and release these tracks. to read the full statement from System Of A Down regarding their new music and the circumstances in their "cultural homelands of Artsakh and Armenia"

Genre: Country

Song: Fighting
Notes: Tyler Joe Miller's debut EP, Sometimes I Don't, But Sometimes I Do is available now - and on Spotify's New Music Friday playlist, Fighting got the nod as the new song to hear. After going to #1 on the Canadian country charts with his first two singles ( Pillow Talkin' and I Would Be Over Me Too), there might be high expectations for this one - and after a few listens, it's easy to see it doing quite well and earning Tyler Joe Miller more accolades and love from the country music community. Get ready for some feels.
Artist: Coleman Hell
Hometown: Thunder Bay, ON
Genre: Pop
Related: Scott Helman, Grizfolk, Smallpools
Song: real me
Notes: With thick beats and rapid lyrics, Coleman Hell starts to move from pop to something harder hitting on real me, and it works. The JUNO-nominated artist says about the song, "At the time of writing, this song felt too personal, which has made it kind of hard to release. It is scary to put out something so vulnerable, but I have now reached a place where doing so feels okay." and adds that it's part of an upcoming mixtape that is a departure from the music he's released in the past. And we're here for that.
Artist: Fionn
Hometown: White Rock, BC
Genre: Pop
Related Artists: Fake Shark, Caveboy, Louise Burns
Song: Space
Notes: BC pop sisters Fionn are back at it again with Space, and they just keep finding new ways to grow and get better and earn new love in their emerging pop career. About the song they say, "Space is a personal song about feeling far away from a partner in a relationship, but desperately not wanting to give them the space they need..." Relatable. We keep saying it over and over - but keep an eye on Fionn, they're going places.
