The month of January continues to last years, and this week felt especially long with you-know-who's inauguration kicking it off and everything immediately getting even worse. But the work of artists is trying to better a broken world — or make it more tolerable, at least — and these critical times are bringing greatness out of Canadian musicians.
Calgary pop princess Tate McRae previews So Close to What with a hotly tipped single called "Sports car" which will soon become inescapable on TikTok, while rising R&B crooner Aqyila channels all of her attention into a new track called "Focus."
This week in album releases, we have a couple of our most anticipated Canadian albums of 2025 entering the world, including the latest from Motherhood (Thunder Perfect Mind) and Lou-Adriane Cassidy. Furthermore, there's the full-length collaborative debut of Sarah Pagé and Patrick Graham, as well as Tariq's comeback EP.
Elsewhere, there's a smattering of new music worth your time from Housewife, Sister Ray, cleopatrick, Jo Passed, Intensive Care (and the Body), Bonnie Trash, SUMAC (and Moor Mother), Busty and the Bass, Yves Jarvis, Katie Tupper, Mae Martin and more.
Ease your weary soul with bursts of sonic light on the The Eh! List below, presented by Mary Brown's Chicken — all Canadian and proud of it!
