“Back For Me” by Brandon Wolfe Scott

Yukon Blonde’s Brandon Wolfe Scott is back with a brand new solo single!

“Back For Me” is an upbeat and joyful song about breakups, with Scott explaining: “At its core, it's a breakup song, but not a sad one. It’s about going through the motions of moving on while quietly choosing hope. I never wanted it to feel heavy. Even in the ache, there can be momentum and positivity.”

The new tune was produced by MOONRIIVR and comes with a very Monty Python’s Flying Circus-inspired video, created in collaboration with Scott’s partner Sierra Zimmerman. Check it out below!

"Cold April" (ft. Denitia & Kara Jackson) by Allison Russell

This new track by Allison Russell slipped by me recently, but on this rainy spring day, I felt like I needed it’s upbeat vibes.

Grammy Award winner Russell is back with their third studio album, In The Hour Of Chaos, due out July 10th. It features a huge list of guests including names like Norah Jones, and from today’s track her tourmate Kara Jackson, Denitia and Russell’s daughter Ida’s Explore! Pop Choir.

Of “Cold April” Russell says: “things are rough. Things have been rough before.  Cold April is not laying out the grim facts of the moment.  Cold April asks if we can let the music itself restore and recharge us. The act of singing with my sisters, Kara Jackson and Denitia, is a balm for my soul, and a wind at my back to keep on.”

“Blue Wave” by sundayclub

Winnipeg due sundayclub are sharing the second single off their upcoming, self titled debut full length album with “Blue Wave”.

The fuzzy, anthemic new song is named after Courtney Carmichael’s first car, a 2009 blue Pontiac Wave, and the memories shared with bandmate Nikki St. Pierre. Carmichael elaborates, “This song reminisces on the early days of a relationship in the midst of inner turmoil and uncertainty over what the future might hold. It’s about wanting to be a different, better, and more evolved version of yourself despite not being there yet, and seeking escapism in the past as a way to find solace. I felt impossibly restless at the time of writing the song and was just generally tired: tired of feeling like I wasn't progressing, tired of being patient with the record we were making, tired of feeling vulnerable and overlooked. By looking back into the past, I could escape into a feeling of wistfulness to distract myself from how frustrated I was in the present.”

It also comes with a new video, directed by Qran Zhu, which is the second part of a trilogy that started in their first single, “Camera Shy”! Check it out below, and mark July 10th for the release of SUNDAYCLUB.
