At the end of every month, we round up the songs and music videos by Canadians that made us feel some type of way. Throw some headphones on, kick back, and catch up on the gems you might have missed this month.
Drake, "Back To Back"
PARTYNEXTDOOR, “No Feelings” feat. Travi$ Scott

We told you this was OVO Sound’s month. ‘Sauga’s own PARTYNEXTDOOR dropped a lethargic banger in collaboration with H-Town champion Travi$ Scott. “No Feelings” blends an eerie synth lead with layered vocal howls for more ghostly vibes that wouldn’t be out of place on If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.
Roy Wood$, “Get You Good”
Ca$tro Guapo, “What’s Her Name?” feat. Fiji
Majid Jordan, “My Love” feat. Drake
Tea, “Funhouse”
Tory Lanez, “Say It”

Tory Lanez has spent years solidifying his status as Toronto’s premiere crooner without a Drake co-sign (like, he REALLY doesn’t have a Drake co-sign), and the next chapter of his ascension involves signing with mega pop producer Benny Blanco’s imprint Mad Love. It’s been an interesting ride seeing Lanez work with alternative EDM producers like the WeDidIt Collective and Snakehips, but if “Say It” is any indication, Tory is ready to stake his claim in the pop world.
Wasiu, “No Chance”
LUM, “Kissing”
Bossie, “Meteor”

Toronto-based indie-pop outfit Bossie are a little bit Jenny Lewis-ish, with a tendency for ‘80s quirk. “Meteor” is an unrelenting earworm, and its bubblegum hook is perfect for midsummer long weekend vibes.
