Itâs official: summer is over. Thereâs a poeticism to the end of the season that stretches through the entire month of September. Thereâs so much newness, especially for students starting the school year, but it all has a bittersweet tinge because weâre seeing the sunniest season literally dry up and die before our eyes. And before we know it, weâre back to shovelling grey slush and layering parkas on top of our puffers. Fun!
To soften the blow, we still have a ton to look forward to and indulge in, whether itâs slow-burning singles trickling in from our long-lost faves Majid Jordan or finally getting to listen to Drakeâs overdue opus Certified Lover Boy in its entirety. Enjoying these drops in heavy rotation is a comforting way to balance out the impermanence of the changing seasons and this month, Canadian acts were behind some of the songs that weâve been keeping on repeat.
