A moody, soul-infused R&B confession, “All Mine” is the latest release from Nova Scotia’s JupiterReign – a rising star known for her velvety vocals, magnetic presence, and fearless emotional honesty. 

Blending vulnerability with sensuality, the track captures the turmoil of a love that’s as painful as it is passionate. It will feature on JupiterReign’s debut album, Jupiter’s Dreams, set for release on June 13th, 2025.

Written in collaboration with Montreal R&B artist RoyyalT, “All Mine” explores the complexity of holding onto a relationship that no longer serves you – even when you know better. Set against a lush, trap-soul soundscape, the song’s slow-burning intensity is paired with lyrics that reflect raw self-awareness and longing.

Ariana Fig taps into the melancholic, dreamy, and nostalgic moods of modern online connection with her latest single, “Weather App.” Written about the strange intimacy of checking in on someone through a weather app, the song blurs the lines between self-validation and unhealthy attachment. Fig, a singer-songwriter from Hamilton, Ontario, channels her classical training into a genre-blending sound that’s both vulnerable and inventive.

Written during her first co-writing session with Emma Whale at the iconic Catherine North Studios, “Weather App” took shape on a rainy August evening. She worked with Sarah MacDougall, a long time collaborator of Fig’s, who did the production and mixing on the track.  Chris Wong later added guitar and bass tracks, helping to bring the emotional landscape of the song to life. Fig also layered her own violin playing into the track’s powerful bridge – a section she crafted to capture the heart-sinking realization that neither the narrator nor the subject of their affection will ever truly change.

Vancouver-based harpist, vocalist, and composer Elisa Thorn shares her latest single, “The Garden,” a gentle, nostalgic, and experimental folk track that reflects on memory, grief, and the inner landscape of the self across time.

Inspired by a long-form sound collage Thorn created in 2021 called The Years In Between, “The Garden” explores the idea that all versions of ourselves – past, present, and future – exist within us simultaneously. Through this sonic meditation, Thorn invites listeners to reflect on the idea of traveling across time to nurture the inner child, commune with our ancestors, or simply sit with the stillness of self-discovery.

The song’s title references a deeply personal moment: a final conversation between Thorn and her grandmother. As her grandmother lay on her deathbed, she whispered, “Don’t worry darling, I found the secret garden.” That phrase, and the spiritual peace it implied, became the heart of the song – a place that transcends time and holds space for healing.

“The Garden” was co-produced with David Vertesi, who contributed bass and helped shape the track’s ethereal atmosphere. Everything beyond the vocals and bass comes from the harp itself, transformed through creative sound design to stretch the instrument’s possibilities into dreamy, ambient textures. One of the track’s standout moments is the delayed harp line that closes the song; it’s one of Thorn‘s favourite parts to play live.

Canadian punk outfit Takes an Army are sharing their most motivated and spiritually grounded work yet: Rise Up. The EP showcases the band’s signature blend of pop-punk, third wave ska, and emotionally honest lyricism, brought together by years of growth, setbacks, and relentless hope.

Rise Up is born of adversity but filled with triumph. Thematically, the EP explores faith, healing, and resilience in the face of life’s unexpected turns. Whether you’re chasing goals or recovering from setbacks, Rise Up is a reminder that you’re not alone in the struggle and there’s always room to get back up again.

The project’s explosive title track, “Rise Up,” serves as both a sonic and thematic centerpiece. A fusion of fast-paced drums, ska-influenced guitar chops, and a vocal punch that opens each verse, the song takes on the often-unpredictable road of adulthood and delivers a call to surrender to something bigger – faith, purpose, and the journey itself.

The award-winning Canadian Folk/Americana artists channel a youthful spark and the warmth of lifelong friendship on “Kick the Can,” the nostalgic and upbeat opening track from their sophomore album The Way We Roll, out now.

A deeply personal and resonant record, The Way We Roll captures Thomas’ reflections on his Atlantic Canadian upbringing with sharp lyricism and a rich, organic sound. From the bittersweet “Springhill” and stripped-down piano ballad “Beside You,” to bluegrass-tinged moments like “Lake Louise” and “A River Runs Through,” the album draws vivid emotional lines between joy, heartbreak, nostalgia, and resilience.

Rooted in a real childhood memory of moving from L.A. to Ohio, “Kick the Can” recalls the night Thomas, then the new kid in town, was invited to join a group of neighborhood kids for a game that changed everything. “In about two hours, I had more friends than I ever had in LA,” he shares. “I had a helluva good time in Columbus for the next two years.”

Fun, insightful, and infused with a spirit of community, “Kick the Can” showcases the Folk/Americana magic that defines The Way We Roll. Produced, engineered, and mixed by JUNO Award–winners Catherine MacLellan and Mark Westberg, the track brings together rich acoustic textures, spirited harmonies, and top-tier musicianship from the sessionmen (Ray Legere, Jon Arsenault) and a handpicked roster of guest players.
