“Bloodshot” by Milk & Bone

A little funky bass and syth to start your morning!

After their 2019 JUNO win Milk & Bone had a chance meeting on an escalator with fellow JUNO nominees Chromeo, and later DM’d them about working on a project.

The two duos created A Little Lucky over the course of a few years with Milk & Bone focusing on songwriting and Chromeo on production - and it will be released in December of 2025.

The first single, “Bloodshot”, has the Chromeo-esque funk with Milk & Bone vocal harmonies and it’s a dance-able summer track for a sunny day. Excited to hear more!

“bob dylan's 115th haircut” by Ada Lea

Ada Lea thinks “Bob Dylan couldn’t have written this song / Not even if he wanted to, not even just for fun.”

That’s the chorus for the Montreal singer’s new track, “bob dylan's 115th haircut”, the final single for her new album which was released last Friday, when i paint my masterpiece.

The new track is a soft, thoughtful piece on comparisons, with singer Alexandra Levy explaining, “Sometimes I get into these moods where I feel like there will always be a gap between what I want to say, and what I actually end up writing. I start comparing myself. The mood that evening was comparing myself to Bob Dylan. And why not? In order to pick myself up off the floor after saying things like ‘I could never write a song like Bob Dylan,’ which of course, is true, I had to reverse the thought ‘could he write one like me?’ Whether or not that was a good thing, it was something.”

The album when i paint my masterpiece is out now on Saddle Creek, and she’ll be heading out on a huge North American tour next month, including a stop in Vancouver on October 25th at the Kingsway Club.
