Songs of the Week: August 25 - 31, 2025
“Can I Call You in the Morning?” by The Beaches
The Beaches celebrated the release of their latest album on Friday by dropping one last single, “Can I Call You in the Morning?”
The raucous song is the album’s opening track, and lead vocalist Jordan Miller explains it was “inspired by an experience Kylie [Miller] had at the end of her previous relationship. After a couple of late nights, she would call her ex and would spew all of her frustrations regarding their relationship, and then would be immediately apologetic and take it all back. It goes out to all of the chaotic girlies out there.”
The song sets the tone for the album, No Hard Feelings, which is out now (and I highly recommend it!) You can also catch The Beaches when they head out on tour this fall, including a Vancouver stop at the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Arena (!!) on October 25th!

“Distance” by Kylie V
Last week, Vancouver’s Kylie V released the first follow up to their acclaimed album Crash Test Plane with the song “Distance”.
The new single highlights Kylie’s incredible vocals on a slow-burn indie-rock twang, with Kylie elaborating: “I wrote "Distance" about all the things that circle around my brain constantly: memories I can't shake, anxieties, obsessions, deadlines, and the intense urge to run away from them. It's a bright, fun, twangy, catchy indie rock song that I had an absolute blast recording and arranging.”
No word on an album, but you can catch Kylie here in Vancouver when they play the Flats Fest on Saturday!

“Crazy Love” by Frazey Ford
I just love Frazey Ford’s voice - it’s so unique and lovely - and thus I got excited to see there was new music out!
“Crazy Love” is a Van Morrison cover which, along with two other covers, will be included in the deluxe re-release of Frazey’s 2014 album Indian Ocean.
Of the songs Frazey says: “I don't tend to do a lot of love songs or covers, but these are three love songs by three of my favourite artists, and I thought they made a nice collection unto themselves, and a nice addition to the album. They’re special to me as they reflect a moment in time in this space of collaboration.”

“New Light” by KINLEY
KINLEY is back with her first new track in over a year with the bright and uplifting “New Light”.
The song is instantly catchy, and the east cost singer says it’s “about coming through challenges stronger, more open, and more grateful. It’s that moment you realize the hard times didn’t break you—they helped you shine even brighter.”
Hopefully we’ll be hearing more from KINLEY soon, but until now listen to “New Light” below!
