Young Lady – Kid Cudi ft. Father John Misty

Kid Cudi’s career has been largely characterized by depression, addiction and death. From his 2009 hit, “Soundtrack 2 My Life”, to his open letter discussing suicidal urges in 2016, Cudi has always been open about his sadness, which exudes through many of his albums…

The Idiots Are Taking Over – NOFX

As we near the end of Donald J Trump‘s second year in office, it is chastening to hark back 15 years, half-way through an earlier Republican leader’s first term, to a time when it seemed impossible to imagine a US president more self-serving, ill-educated and unworthy of office…

Just Breathe – Pearl Jam

This song fits perfectly into this playlist, because the songwriter turned his thoughts about life into this work. “Just Breathe” is performed by American rock band Pearl Jam, but the author is Eddie Vedder…

Goca Dunya – Erkin Koray

“The King of Rock”, Erkin Koray is one of the fathers of Turkish psychedelic rock music. He is one of the three legends of the genre. The others are Barış Manço and Cem Karaca. He has a great voice and unique guitar skills but also he is an inventor,…

Stand By Me – Medii, Kristen Olsson

For me, a winning song is one that combines atmosphere and power to deliver the listener to an entirely new world. One that energises them, motivates them, and refreshes them.

I Don’t Wanna Know – Julian Lennon

“If you give your trust to a person who does not deserve it, you actually give him the power to destroy you.”

– Khaled Saad

Do you trust your spouse? Is trust a given? How quickly and easily can it be lost? Can you ever really truly get it back once it’s gone?

Church – Don Amero

Don Amero… wow! Amero has been around for a bit. How long is a bit? Well, he has five albums to his credit. His latest project, Evolution, was just released last week. His new single is Give It To Ya but I want to focus on Church…

All Kinds Of Crazy – Codie Prevost

Codie Prevost is one of those, grow up in a small town kinda country stories. Archerwill, Saskatchewan might be a couple hundred strong, maybe. To understand Codie and how got started, you really need to hear it from him. Telling someone else’s story just won’t do it justice…

The World Could Use A Cowboy – Adam Gregory

Adam Gregory is from my home of Edmonton, Alberta. I have been lucky enough to work with him a number of times and have gotten to know his family quite well. Adam is as you see, a great guy that cares about others. There is a reason he was awarded the Slaight Music Humanitarian Award at the 2013 Canadian Country Music Awards…

Heaven’s gonna burn your eyes – Thievery Corporation ft. Emiliana Torrini

Rob Garza and Eric Hilton are Thievery Corporation, often working with other artists to produce the dream for the song into reality, in this case the vocals are by Emiliana Torrini…

Blame It On The Neon – Leaving Thomas

I just finished working with Annika and Bryton, Leaving Thomas and they have recently become an independent duo. As a Canadian in the music business, I had heard of them but only recently had we met. Their tune Blame It On The Neon is a classic country crooning, crying tune.

Hometown Sundowns – Olivia Rose

This track is from one of the very first artists I worked with. Olivia Rose was only 12 years old (now 19) when we met and you could just tell she was going to go places. I thought it fitting that as a new curator, my first song should come from one of my first contacts in music.
