You may recognize the face of today's artist from her work with Newfoundland's own Hey Rosetta!, but KINLEY has also been working on her solo album.
For today's SOTD, she teamed up with Lonely Kid for a remix of her song "Blackbird", and put out a sweet little video of them biking around while she sings the song.
You can pre-order her album by backing it on her Pledge Music campaign - click here.
Last year I was enamoured by the song "Nobody Knows" by as artist I wasn't familiar with, Iskwé. Now she's released a brand new song, "Sometimes", which according to her:
“This song came after a pretty tough breakup. I had been trying my best to make things work, but sometimes you get to a point where you need to call a spade a spade and let go. Besides, every album needs a good breakup song, right?”
The song has her powerful voice soaring over the piano and frantic beats with the same barely-contained chaos of a tumultuous relationship.
Iskwé will also be on tour this fall, but the closest she's coming to Vancouver will be Powell River at the Sunshine Music Festival. But hopefully, she'll have time to stop for a show here, too.

Super group TUNS has released their second single titled "Throw It All Away" from their upcoming debut, self-titled album.
The new record is due out on August 26th, but no word on any cross-Canada tour yet, but they did just play Sappy Fest, and I managed to catch them at NXNE, so we'll have to wait and see.
Check out the new single below, and you can pre-order the new album by clicking HERE.
Prepare your ears for the second single off Brendan Canning's upcoming album Home Wrecking Years.
Groove to the bossa nova beat of "Keystone Dealers" before picking up the album on August 12th via Arts & Crafts.
Lowell has released the second song for her upcoming EP, Part 1: Paris YK, out on August 26 via Arts & Crafts.
The new song is titled "Blow The Bass" and is one of 3 songs (the last one being called "West Coast Forever"!) on the new record. The new record is a reflection on her time spent living in the Yukon Territory, and the latest track is a synth-y, danceable track. Have a listen below:
Here's another sneak peek at Paper Lions upcoming album, Full Colour.
The album is out September 16, and "Born To Rule" starts off as a piano ballad before erupting into a dancey tune with maybe a hint of the 80s?
They've also announced a host of tour dates, starting with what they're calling a "Super Show" in their hometown of Charlottetown, PEI at the end of September, and a show right here at the Biltmore on November 26th.
I met this talented young man through Vancouver's Willa, and have been patiently waiting for some new music from him ever since, and that day has arrived!
Mathew V's new single "If I'm Enough" is out now; a song full of soul, with pop hooks and killer vocals.
From what I read, there is a video for the single to follow, and we can expect the full record (called Sounds) out in the fall. Take a listen below!
I can't think of a more BC band to celebrate BC Day than Said the Whale.
"B.C. Orienteering" comes off their album Islands Disappear, and is a cautionary tale of camping in BC (and also, with a Broken Compass). The video below is a live session with a bonus guest, Hannah Georgas!
So have a happy BC Day, hopefully you are not travelling alone. And won't meet a bear.
