So what do you say we get started and check out what I have to offer you, in the realm of new music! 

Five

Let’s kick everything off right with the introduction of singer, songwriter, and composer, Melissa Furlotte. Based out of Montreal, but was raised in the copper mine town of Murdochville, Quebec. She grew up playing piano, singing, and listening to a mixture of popular folk, country, and jazz music. However her latest track, “Virginia Creeper” is available to stream everywhere and is the first in a new collection coming out. This wishful and warm-toned new single is a collaboration with Joe Grass and hints at a deeper meaning behind it. Learn more here.

Four

Moving along down the list of incredible music brings us to MISSING PET, Toronto-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist “Adam Marek Platek”. Bringing his experimental genre-fluid alt-pop to life on the latest EP “Bad Vibes Only”. It’s available now across streaming platforms everywhere and each song will have you on the edge of your seats. With songs like “I Used To Care” and its electric guitar, bouncy electro beat or “Papercut” touching on spooky gear and sinister tones. Have a listen to the new EP in our Five Questions With segment here.

Three

Third up on the list is gonna be Hip-Hop artist Pimpton, with the release of his double-A side single. “Real Love” and “Swang (feat. Snotty Nose Rez Kids)” are available now and are the exciting follow-up to his previous single “Moonroof,” which made a tremendous splash in the spring of this year. His ability to connect diverse audiences through his innovative musical styling makes this project a must-listen for his devoted fans and those who love great music. You’re gonna have a listen to both of those singles and the rest of the album, right here.

Two

Time to introduce to the show, it’s Alex Gage, a Toronto-based multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and composer. He primarily writes under his own name and his band “Alex Gage’s Flagship.” Alex has become known for his exciting, sometimes complex, but easily accessible musical style, with deep connections to the music of the 1970s. His newest offering, “September, Julia (feat. Ang)”, is available now and was released on the first day of fall. You can listen to it in our Five Questions With segment with Alex Gage right here.

BONUS: Canadian Beats Passport

This week’s bonus from around the world is going to be highlighted in Canadian Beats Passport. So what do you say we get to know the hard rock Quartet known as April Art from Hessen, Germany. Their third album Rodeo was just released on the fourth via Reaper Entertainment. This record unapologetically charges into the fast lane, speeding away from everyone else with huge hits, a brutal bite, and peerless power. Listen to this incredible album within the article and interview here.

One

My final recommendation for this list of incredible music this week will conclude with the introduction of Avalon Stone. The singer, songwriter, and actress from Ontario joins us with her dazzling new single “Cliffhanger” available across all streaming sites. In the new single Stone casts herself in a position in which there’s simply nowhere to go-whether up or down. You’re put into a situation that leaves you hanging on the edge. You can check out the lyrical video and a short interview here.

Those have been all the incredible articles that are hand-picked by yours truly. Well, now it’s time for you to go explore on your own and hand-pick some of your own recommendations. But please be sure to share mine with all your friends and family.  Like I said before the website is packed to the brim with all sorts of awesome music-related content. Interviews, concert coverage, and some of the latest singles, from new and old artists alike. However, I just wanna say thank you for checking out my recommendations and our website.
