New Songs

#newmusic4yourears #whatonwhatsgood

1. The Magnettes
New single "Monster"
K51 Music AB

Singer Rebecka Digervall from The Magnettes discusses New single "Monster"
“‘Monster’ is about that flirty, sexy, excruciating stage where it’s like ‘will-they-won’t-they?’,” singer Rebecka Digervall explains. “You’re a nervous wreck, trying to downplay your feelings but they’re growing and growing.”

Sanna Kalla from The Magnettes discusses New single "Monster"
“We’ve definitely been there. The gushing, blood rushing, tingly thing that’s partly sweet, mostly unbearable."

2. Niki Kennedy
New single "Get Back In The Groove"
Niki Kennedy Music

Niki Kennedy discusses New single "Get Back In The Groove"
“Get Back in the Groove is about getting out of a funk and empowering ourselves to keep pushing through. With a gentle lyrical reminder to give ourselves a little grace, the song hopes to make those in need of a little boost or pick-me-up, feel good.”

3. Nate Haller
New single "Broken"
Starseed Records

Nate Haller describes New single "Broken"
“‘Broken’ gives a peek into what I like to call weekend Nate - just a fun, carefree guy who won’t let anything get in the way of having a good time. It’s also about being unapologetically myself with the people I know have my back, and I know so many people will feel that.” 

4. Band of Horses
Album - Things Are Great (Available March 4, 2022)
BMG
New single "Lights"

Lead singer Ben Bridwell’s discusses New single "Lights"
"The song was meant to be a bit uplifting and I’m wishing for a better existence in a way. I’m getting over the things that had been going wrong in my life. The lights go on signifying it’s a better day kind of thing.”

9. BANGGZ
New single “Who’s Gassing Who?”
Banggz

Banggz discusses New single “Who’s Gassing Who?”
“In the second verse, I tried opening up more about my life outside of music and what I struggle with. The verse, ‘I am not afraid of anything or anyone but college’ shows that I believe my aspirations are likely to come to fruition beyond the four walls of a learning institution.”

10. Sarah Tolle
New single “Fight For You”
Sunnyside Media

Sarah Tolle discusses New single “Fight For You”
“For me, the song is sung by a caregiver — someone in a support role."

"In order to write this song, I actually ended up asking my mom to write down what came to mind when she listened to the instrumental track.  She’s not a songwriter by trade or anything, but there’s a richness of experience in working with my mom, who has dealt with more life than I have. Being able to paint some pictures with her words gave the lyrics more depth.”

“The caregiver in the song is supporting a loved one who’s living with mental illness — and they’re not perfect by any means.  They express unconditional love and encouragement, but also signs of confusion, disbelief, and exasperation.  I wanted this portrayal to feel real, and real is not always neat and pretty.”

11. Mikalyn
New single “Ready to Love You”
Mikalyn

Mikalyn discusses New single “Ready to Love You”
“The idea of love is scary and overwhelming sometimes and this song is about trying to avoid it where possible.”

12. Shirley Eikhard
New single “Anything Is Possible”
Shirley Eikhard

13.  Kevin Hearn
New single “Green Church”
Celery Music

Kevin Hearn discusses New single “Green Church”
“I was hiking through the forest in Lanai’i, Hawaii and stumbled upon this little quaint green church,” recalls Hearn. “I was overcome by how peaceful and serene it was, which is a feeling I was aiming for when recording There and Then. Coincidentally, I later found myself improvising in a church in Montreal and drew inspiration from the experience and the little green church.”

14. Condor Matador
New single “The ’90s Song”
Paisley Wilde Records

Condor Matador discusses New single “The ’90s Song”
“’The ’90s Song’ is a love letter to disco, written with a punk-rock sneer” 

Condor Matador discusses New album “Dirty Thirty” coming soon

“I’m turning thirty this year, and I’m putting together a collection of songs that I feel encapsulate how I am living through this time. There will be happy songs, and there will be sad songs. I might even do a ballad.  I’m really challenging myself on this release.”

Coming soon

1. Justine Tyrell
New single "Drive"

Justine Tyrell partners with Producer/Pianist Timothonius on New Single "Drive" Available on February 4 2022.

Justine Tyrell discusses New Single "Drive"

“This song captures the moments of what is imminently the last drive taken with a flame, blaring with silences and the realization that the love has slipped away. The blurring of street lights and the tension of quiet gazes, fill the spaces of all of the words that are going unsaid. Intimately personal and inspired by the dark sonics of the production soundscape, Drive tells a story of how sometimes the loneliest places we go, are together.”

Deadloch Amazon Studios, OK Great Productions, Guesswork Television Amazon Prime Video #whatonwhatsgood Express Review Deadloch is an Australian comedy/crime show. It is set in a town called Deadloch, Tasmania.  In the first episode, Trent Latham (Barry Wheeler) is found naked and dead on a beach.  The question is can Sergeant Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and Det.

I Like Movies VHS Forever Mongrel Media Release date September 9, 2022 (TIFF) SYNOPSIS Toronto writer/director Chandler Levack makes her feature film debut with I Like Movies, a dramedy based on her experience working at a Blockbuster Video in the early 2000s.  Socially inept, Lawrence (Isaiah Lehtinen) is a 17-year-old cinephile who gets a job at the Sequels video store in Burlington, Ontario.  Anxious about his future (and desire to attend NYU’s Tisch School of Arts), Lawrence begins alienating the most important people in his life – his best friend (Percy Hynes White) and his single mother (Krista Bridges) – all the while developing a complicated friendship with his older female manager (Romina D’Ugo).  Sequels is furnished with props from a real Blockbuster, while the store’s branded colour scheme of red and teal reoccurs throughout the film.  The film is rife with references to Canada (Carleton, Cronenberg) and cinema (mentioned in almost every sentence that Lawrence utters!).

Catherine Cyr - Executive Producer What I learned about Sidney was that he was willing to make sacrifices, that most people would find unconscionable whether that was money or security or ways to make his career boom. He would sacrifice all of that by sticking to what he knew was right. Cher He was very shy. I must not be the first person to tell you that.  We got him to come to some barbecues.  I have a couple of stories, but I'm going to put them in my book. Dennis Haysbert I knew very earl

Servant   Blinding Edge Pictures/Escape Artists/Dolphin Black Productions Apple Inc./Apple TV+ Express Review "Servant is creepy.  I guess it's what we should expect from M. Night Shyamalan.  The story follows Philadelphia married couple, Dorothy (Lauren Ambrose) and Sean Turner (Toby Kebbell), whose child (Jericho) is deceased.  Following the death of their son,  Dorothy uses a baby doll as a coping mechanism.  Before Jericho’s passing, she hired an 18-year-old Leanne Grayson (Nell Tiger Free) to be their nanny. Leanne is not what you think.  I am not actually sure how to explain her to you but she can turn a doll into a real baby.  How does she do it?  Who is she?"  Created by Tony Basgallop Written by Tony Basgallop, Nina Braddock, Ishana Night Shyamalan Starring Lauren Ambrose as Dorothy Turner (née Pearce) Toby Kebbell as Sean Turner Nell Tiger Free as Leanne Grayson Rupert Grint as Julian Pearce Sunita Mani as Vera Jack and James Hoogerwerff as Baby Jericho M
