Artist: The Reklaws
Hometown: Cambridge, ON
Genre: Country
Related Artists: James Barker Band, MacKenzie Porter, Andrew Hyatt
Song: Got It From My Mama
Notes: Sibling country duo The Reklaws get all the way sweet in Got It From My Mama as we approach Mother's Day. We knew they had sweet in them, and they are all in this time, and there's nothing wrong with that at all! If you're fortunate, like me, to have a great mama and/or mama figures in your life, have a listen and think of them and our collective luck and love.
Love you, mom.
Artist: The Beaches
Hometown: Toronto, ON
Genre: Rock
Related: The Glorious Sons, July Talk, Hollerado
Song: Let's Go
Notes: The Beaches are back, bitches! Let's Go is the first track from the band's upcoming release, Future Lovers (May 14, 2021) and it's begging you to turn up the volume and enjoy. The quartet have fun (and get real too) for less than 2-and-a-half minutes and use the song's title as a call to action for the future. Let's go indeed!
Artist: Lights
Hometown: Timmins, ON
Genre: Pop
Related: Betty Who, MUNA, The Aces
Song: Beside Myself
Notes: Lights is an artist that always manages to catch me off guard. I don't know what to expect when I hit play on a new song, whether I'm going to need to dance or get up in my feelings... this time it's both (wait for it). Beside Myself is ready for you, if you're ready for it. Turn it up.
Artist: Mint Simon
Hometown: Montreal, QC
Genre: Pop
Related: Caveboy,
Song: Used For Love
Notes: Used For Love is the debut single from Mint Simon (they/them) - but not the first we've heard their voice. The Caveboy front-person steps into the solo spotlight and goes into some real feelings with a catchy pop presentation. It's acceptance and openness and free. And it's a jam..
Artist: Maddison Krebs
Hometown: Okotoks, AB
Genre: Country
Related: Tenille Arts, Alee, Robyn Ottolini
Song: Younger Brothers
Notes: Okotoks native Maddison Krebs is back with a sweet country song that will make anyone who grew up with younger siblings remember the good times and memories there were. We've been ready to hear from Maddison for a bit, and we're happy for this one - and we'll be ready for more, hopefully sooner than later.
