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.

Ahsia – So Nice

WATCH | So Nice:

Ahsia’s latest single So Nice is the smoothest song you’ll hear all week. This perfectly arranged R&B jam starts with delicate guitar, followed by relaxed beats, then layered with Ahsia’s perfect vocals. So Nice is an ideal song to start your weekend mornings or when you want to unwind.

Matthew Barber – These Days

WATCH | These Days:

A song that pairs well with wonderful weekend weather is Matthew Barber’s new single These Days. This toe-tapper sounds a little bit like a mid-tempo Sloan song with strong but chill guitars, warm vocals, and it gives you an overall good feeling about it. These Days is a great song to help lift you up when it’s time to tackle your weekend to-do list.

Sunshine Makers – The Love We Give

WATCH | The Love We Give:

London’s Sunshine Makers are working towards a new full-length album, and the first single from the new one, The Love We Give, is unmistakably the Sunshine Makers. The Love We Give has a strong mid-tempo beat, a funky groove and a message of positivity. Try The Love We Give on your next party or dance playlist.
