KYLOLUS – ‘WHEN’
‘When’, by Kylolus, is a very melodic ethereal piano ballad with, unusually, a male vocal sweetly sung by Andrew James. It is a gentle song that has a dream-like sound and lyrics, and therefore represents a departure from the adult contemporary rock music usually associated with Kylolus.

Rufus Wainwright Shares “Harvest” Featuring Andrew Bird And Chris Stills
“The music of Neil Young has been part of my entire life. What has always drawn me to him are his lyrics. I think that lyrics are often underrated in today’s music. But then of course with Neil Young you also get these absolutely iconic melodies and the sound quality of his albums is simply amazing. He is the full package.
Brina Kay heals our inner child with new EP and video ‘Dandelion’
Kay shares, “This song especially (but also the EP as a whole) is essentially a letter to my younger self, but I’ve also realized its message still resonates with me as I navigate adulthood. When I was a kid, I often felt like I wasn’t always accepted. I was overly energetic, I was “weird” and I tended to question authority and the status quo way of doing things. Back then it made me feel like I didn’t belong, or that there was something wrong with me, but I’ve grown to realize that those attributes are what makes me unique and special, and they’re something to be proud of. If I could get in a time machine and have a conversation with that little girl and show her who she’s going to become, this song is what I would tell her, and the video is what I would show her. It is now something I lean on whenever I feel misunderstood or undervalued.”
Oscar Lang Releases New Single “One Foot First” Ahead of ‘Look Now’ Album
“This spawned when I was in a really dark headspace in Liverpool. There was a balcony I would stand out on while having a cigarette and I watched as I dropped a cigarette and imagined it was me,” Oscar shares, speaking candidly regarding the song’s intimate meaning. “I came into the studio the next day and decided I wanted to write a song about all the things I’ve been thinking but personify them in other people. And especially as I’ve been hurt a lot as a victim of somebody that had been affected by suicide, that’s why the chorus is about if I could go, I’d disappear and not hurt anyone. Because in my mind, I had all these dark thoughts but also I knew how much it hurt people and I knew the effect that it had on people because I’ve been affected myself.”
Jeremie Albino Releases “You I’m Waiting On” Live Performance Video with The Rosehall Band
Shot and directed by longtime creative partner and collaborator Mark Klassen, the video transports viewers back in time to the historic Owl’s Club in Toronto. The old legion hall, frozen in time, serves as the ultimate backdrop and perfectly pairs Jeremie’s soulful golden sound with the memories painted on the walls.

BIG TIME RUSH DROPS NEW SINGLE “WAVES”
“‘Waves’ started with a little melody saved on a voice memo,” said the band of the track. “That idea was then taken to the studio and fleshed out to later become the nostalgic powerhouse that nods to the early 2000’s and is a great illustration of how sometimes the smallest ideas can make the biggest waves.”
