YouTube<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\nA Fleeting Thought Becomes Another Fleeting Thought, Lisa LeBlanc<\/p>\n
We all know the feeling: one thought leads to another to another, and after an hour you’ve gotten nothing done but maybe it feels like you should have? Lisa LeBlanc’s new song, A Fleeting Thought Becomes Another Fleeting Thought, is both playful and dramatic in its examination of that meandering. With a blast of baritone sax the song takes off, a bounding stream of thoughts guided by an organ and electric guitar, the influence of ’60s and ’70s folk and rock ever present. “I feel a draft\/ but can\u2019t find the leak\/ a hairline crack\/ a needle in a haystack\/ herding sheep with\/ kaleidoscope goggles\/ loose ends tangled\/ tying your tongue,” LeBlanc sings on one of only two verses, the punch of short lines and repetition playing into the song’s title. A Fleeting Thought Becomes Another Fleeting Thought comes with a video directed by Alexandre Pelletier that gorgeously showcases Acadian landscapes as LeBlanc road trips her way through them. The new single is the opening track of LeBlanc’s upcoming album, Patchwork, which will be out in January 2027. \u2014 Holly Gordon<\/p>\n
Losing at Life, Fine Food Market<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve made up your mind and moved away,\u201d Fine Food Market (Sophie Perras) sings forlornly on the opening verse of Losing at Life, the second single from her upcoming debut album, Alas Time Has Passed. It\u2019s dreamy, eclectic, and combines the sadness of a Lana Del Rey ballad with the melodic sensibilities of a Clairo slow burner, as Perras puts a spotlight on someone\u2019s inability to show up authentically. Paired with the visuals of Perras lounging on a couch while slowly inhaling a cigarette, it feels like a hazy dream. She sings so lightly that it makes even the most pointed of statements come across as delicate: \u201cYou\u2019re getting older every day and you\u2019re losing at life,\u201d she reflects on the dizzying chorus, sprinkling in a dash of existential dread. \u2014 Natalie Harmsen<\/p>\n
Better For My Heart, Gayance, Judith Little D<\/p>\n
Who says introspection needs to be quiet and contemplative? On Gayance’s latest single, Better For My Heart, a look inwards comes packed with dance-ready beats. The Montreal-born, Lisbon-based producer reconnects with vocalist Judith Little D, who was also featured on her 2023 Polaris shortlisted album Mascarade, for an uplifting house track whose central message is about leaning into what\u2019s best for you and breaking cycles of self-destruction. It\u2019s the third single from Gayance\u2019s upcoming album roaming (out Oct. 9), and while Better For My Heart is a song about looking into the self, the larger project explores how identity can shift across continents \u2014 which Gayance is no stranger to, having called Montreal, Rio de Janeiro, Amsterdam, New York and now Lisbon home. If you find yourself stuck in a rut, or repeating some self-limiting tendencies, play Better For My Heart and shake all that negativity off. \u2014 Kelsey Adams<\/p>\n
Safe, Andye feat. Savannah R\u00e9<\/p>\n
Since arriving on Canada\u2019s R&B scene, Andye has continually elevated his artistry \u2014 and his peers have taken notice. His latest single, Safe, features the Juno-winning R&B artist Savannah R\u00e9 and was produced in collaboration with the Juno and Grammy-winning producer, YogiTheProducer. The polish and maturity that Andye has reached in this new era was inevitable. On Safe, he yearns for a partner to feel safe with him despite the scars of their past relationships: “Scars on me too, same way you do,\u201d he sings poignantly. R\u00e9 offers an alternate perspective, one that is strong and guarded, but also warranted. Their emotional conversation builds over YogiTheProducer\u2019s smooth production, proving that softness and honesty can lead to something more powerful than we realize. \u2014 Bhaven Moorthy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 4 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":895810,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[49,48,75,341],"class_list":["post-895809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/895809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=895809"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/895809\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/895810"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=895809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=895809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=895809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
