London Morning associate producer Ryan Soulliere listens to a lot of music for his role picking tunes for the show. In any given week, that’s about 25 songs. Here are his top three local and Canadian picks from last week.
S-Man Lib – I Know It
WATCH | I Know It:
I Know It by S-Man Lib is a nice, chill song to start this list. Mellow island beats and a smooth flow make I Know It a great song to enjoy the last weeks of summer, and it doubles as a relaxed day-starter. If you’d like to see S-Man Lib perform, you’re in luck. Just head to Gibbons Park from 11 am to 9 pm today, September 5th. S-Man Lib is one of the performers on the African Caribbean Mosaic Cultural Festival.
Akintoye – The Farmer Freestyle
WATCH | The Farmer Freestyle:
Have you ever looked down at your plate of food and wondered, how can I thank the farmer that made this possible? That’s what rapper Akintoye just did with a new single: The Farmer Freestyle. This outstanding mid-tempo rap track with a luring beat, laced with sweet clarinet will work well on a variety of playlists.
Allison Russell – Love is a Golden Lion (ft. Devon Gilfillian)
WATCH | My Love is a Golden Lion:
Allison Russell’s latest full-length album In the Hour of Chaos is a wonderful body of work with no two songs quite the same. In fact, the new album is a fantastic listening experience because of its diversity of sound. From the new one, London Morning played Love is a Golden Lion featuring Devon Gilfillian. This upbeat and happy-sounding track will work well on your next party playlist or when you want some motivation.
