I like to refer to these as Zach’s Picks Of The Week, and you can just call them the best music list of the week for you. Be sure to spread the news with your friends and family, and if you don’t like these recommendations. I encourage you to go explore the rest of our website for even more awesome content. But enough of that, let’s get right into these awesome choices. The links to each article can be found below after a preview of each post. So now let’s get started on Zach’s Picks Of The Week!!

Fiona Ross has never been one to follow convention, and her upcoming album, Moments in My Notebook, arriving May 30, 2025, is a testament to her boundless creativity and storytelling prowess. Ahead of the release, the singles “Let Your Soul Shine” and “I Don’t Want Money” are out now. Moments in My Notebook is a chronicle of love, loss, discovery, and relentless creativity, marking her 100th original song release. The whole album will be out soon, but you can still explore our article here.

Ryan Wayne makes a powerful return with his second album, Functioning Dysfunctionals. Building on the success of his 2023 debut Crow Amongst The Sparrows, this new release feels even more personal and hard-hitting. Wayne dives headfirst into the messy beauty of life—exploring love, loss, addiction, and the quiet hope that follows heartbreak. There is a whole album review on Ryan Wayne here.

Ashley Law brings the perfect blend of sass and sweetness with her latest single, Sweet Tea. Released March 28, 2025, this bold, empowering anthem turns heartbreak into a dance-worthy celebration of self-worth and fresh starts. But there’s so much more to see in our post, including a Five Questions Interview with Ashley Law here.

As anticipation builds toward the release of her sophomore EP this fall, Lily Monaghan is sharing another preview today with the single “Snow In May.” A haunting piano ballad, it is arguably Lily’s most affecting song to date, offering emotional swells like the waves on the sea near her current location in Scotland, where she has been completing her higher education. You can now check out her latest single here.
Two
Toronto folk-rocker Joe Cool is back, calloused hands and all, with the lead single from his third EP, Blood, Sweat & Beers. The track, “Company Man,” is a blue-collar anthem for anyone who’s ever punched a clock, buried their dreams for a steady paycheque, and tried to keep their head above water in a world that doesn’t always make room for poets and pick-up trucks. Check it out here.

Canadian hard rock quartet Sierra Pilot returns with their most intense and emotionally resonant track yet. “Breathe,” available today across all major streaming platforms, delivers a sonic gut-punch that captures the emotional storm of being told to calm down when every part of you is on fire. You can check out the lyric video for the new single here.
