BONUS: Canadian Beats Passport

Now we have reached our bonus recommendation, an artist that comes from around the world to your screens. This particular article was featured in our Canadian Beats Passport section and I’d like to introduce you to our bonus recommendation. It’s indie groove songstress Darling Nikki, hailing from Germany. She is here with a quintessential soundtrack for the exact feeling of desiring a lost era. Musicians have always tried to take a nostalgic theme in their music, to pay homage to the stuff that they grew up listening to on the radio. This new single will take listeners back to a time when the 70s soul thrived. The new single is called “Elvis” and was written, recorded, and produced by Nikki herself. Check out our article that features the video for “Elvis” here.

One

This is gonna be my last hand-picked and top recommendation of the week. Coming to us this time is going to be Toronto songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Abigail Lapell. Sharing two incredible singles, “Serpent à sonnette” and the French version of her infectious singalong “Rattlesnake”. That comes from her latest LP, Anniversary, which is available now across all streaming platforms. But these two singles are stripped down, acoustic renditions that feature enchanting and celebrate love. Enjoy both of these songs within our article right here.
