Hear the Week's Best New Canadian Music: Jenn Grant, Nelly Furtado, Haviah Mighty

BY Exclaim! StaffPublished Jun 2, 2023

Just yesterday (June 1), we revealed our best 25 albums of 2023 so far ranking — and today, like every Friday, there's a crop of new contenders. The year's halfway point is here and Canadian artists are kicking things into high gear: this week, we have Nelly Furtado's long-awaited return, Jenn Grant joining forces with Ria Mae, and the Weeknd linking up with Madonna, as well as a new single from Haviah Mighty.

June is off to a strong start in terms of album releases, with new LPs from Priors (Daffodil), Half Moon Run and Rufus Wainwright.

Elsewhere, Katie Tupper spreads a "Little Love," Baited make a "Molotov" cocktail, and Population II prove that two (er, three) is better than one. La Force and Hannah Georgas also announced their next records, led by some noteworthy new singles.

It's never too early to start thinking about year-end list season! Do some preliminary research with The Eh! List below, presented by Mary Brown's Chicken & Taters — all Canadian and proud of it!
