Fire vibes from Vancouver. “Bank account at zero…”?? I do know the feeling!

Vancouver vibes….

[MP3] GIRV – Deep Space

Last vibes for the (late) night from Toronto’s GIRV. RIYL Soulection, Elaquent etc.

[MP3] Kelsey Vaz – Pretty (Prod. Nate Smith)

This track by Toronto’s Kelsey Vaz is already making some noise. When you hear it, you’ll quickly understand why. Solid track….

[Album Stream + Music Video] Claire Mortifee – Panther Paws from the Medicines album

Here’s the video for the latest single, “Panther Paws” from West Coast soul singer, Claire Mortifee‘s Medicines album which, if you dig the single, is available for you to listen to in FULL via stream above also.

I’d recommend it, it’s a decent listen. As a very rough comparison, I’d say it’s RIYL fellow Canadian soulsters, Zaki Imbrahim and Esthero (her bio calls her vocals “inspired by Amy Winehouse and Erykah Badu” and a sound “reminiscent of Tove Lo“). Her music with Vancouver’s Potatohead People, who also produced the second single from the album, “Shanghigh” is pretty good too. I’d post the video for that but it felt a little culturally fetishistic to my eyes so I’m taking a pass but you can watch it HERE if you’re curious to see what I’m talking about.
