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.
Julian Taylor – Seeds (Featuring Carsen Gray)
WATCH | Seeds *feat. Carsen Gray):
Julian Taylor’s song Seeds is a smooth, slow-mid tempo song about resilience. This acoustic version slows the tempo down a little more and includes harmonies from B.C.’s Carsen Gray, making for an even smoother track ideal for when it’s time to unwind.
Lindsey & The Lonelies – Calamity Jane
WATCH | Calamity Jane:
Western twang is front and centre in Calamity Jane by London’s Lindsey & The Lonelies. Over the years, this has become a favourite track on London Morning mainly because of it’s get-up-and-go tempo and haunting harmonies summoning the spirit of Calamity Jane.
Danny Michel – Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself
WATCH | Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself:
It’s not a new song, but it’s a darn good one. Danny Michel reminds us to enjoy the time we have, keep trying and Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself. This upbeat jam is a sonic feast with blaring horns, a catchy chorus and Michel putting everything he’s got into it. Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself will fit perfectly on a party playlist and its highly motivating refrain might help you plough through tough weekend chores.
