London Morning associate producer Ryan Soulliere listens to a lot of music for his role, selecting tunes for the show. That’s about 25 songs each week. Here are his top three local and Canadian picks from the past week.
Brandon Wolfe Scott – Laugh Again feat. MOONRIIVR and Lauren Dillen
WATCH | Laugh Again:
This week’s list starts with a chill song from Brandon Wolfe Scott featuring MOONRIIVR and Lauren Dillen called Laugh Again. With a sad but not too melancholy tone, Laugh Again sounds like a lament for good times spent with close friends and/or loved ones. Laugh Again manages to bring you to the edge of sadness but doesn’t go over the edge, making it a great weekend day starter song or one for relaxing.
The Pairs – Jimmy’s Got a Gun
WATCH | Jimmy’s Got a Gun:
The Pairs are starting to drop new singles, and Jimmy’s Got a Gun is the latest. This upbeat protest song uses percussion to drive the beat behind The Pairs’ soaring 3-part harmonies. Altogether, Jimmy’s Got a Gun is a fantastic song with a bouncing beat. Sonically, this song works well when you need an energy boost or a great track for your next party playlist.
Aysanabee – War Cry
WATCH | War Cry:
The Folk Canada conference is winding down in Hamilton this weekend, and one of this year’s big winners is Aysanabee, taking the award for recording artist of the year. Aysanabee is no stranger to London Morning’s playlist, so the job was to play a song the show hasn’t heard yet. War Cry is a great song that showcases Aysanabee’s unique vocal timbre and impeccable writing. War Cry is an inspirational song that will recharge every listener.
