London Morning’s 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.
Marty Kolls – Waves
WATCH | Waves:
London singer songwriter Marty Kolls has a brand new single out now called Waves. This mellow track envelopes you with soaring harmonies, interlaced cello and the sensation of calm movement, just like its namesake. Marty Kolls’ Waves is a great song to listen to while easing into your weekend mornings or when you want a soundtrack to relax.
Sonido Pesao – Reir para No Llorar
WATCH | Reir para No Llorar:
The stage is set for Sunfest 2026 and the full lineup of international and national performers was announced this week. To mark the occasion there is a Sunfest block party at London Brewing Co-op on May 23. The Montreal-based Latin rap group Sonido Pesao is performing at the block party and London Morning played a warm, upbeat Sonido Pesao song called Reir Para No Llorar. This mid-tempo track will fit on just about any playlist.
Shania Twain – Dirty Rosie
WATCH | Dirty Rosie:
Canadian country music icon Shania Twain is set to release a new album Little Miss Twain in July and the first single form the album, Dirty Rosie is a banger. Dirty Rosie does have some country twang but it also has a whole lot more going on making for a very enjoyable song that straddle several genres. Try Dirty Rosie on your next party playlist and watch the foot-stompin’ begin.
