As spring does its best to spring forth, here are a few winter hits from local talent, in case you missed them:
“Mistaken Point” by Hot Mud
Rehab Rock is a brutally honest collection of alt-rock songs made by Hot Mud while in rehab. While the themes are serious, the record is tempered by upbeat guitar and piano grooves that remind you that positive change is possible, no matter how rocky the road. My favourite song on the record is “Mistaken Point”, a dreamy rock interpretation filled with synths and wave sounds. [Spotify]
“4U” by TwoTiime
On this melodic trap record reminiscent of A Boogie Wit da Hoodie, TwoTiime delivers a romantic ballad perfect for your paramour. With layered vocals and seamless sampling, TwoTiime unabashedly declares his love and devotion. [AudioMack]
“Still in Rotation” by Freddy Printz
Freddy Printz brings us another classic hip-hop record. Over a stripped-back beat punctuated by smooth saxophone, Printz reflects on relationships and life choices. The black and white music video is a perfect accompaniment that honestly reflects a complex journey between two lovers. [Spotify]
“Shuteye” by Robin Kenny
In this art-pop ballad, Robin Kenny pulls us into her dreamy melancholy as she considers whether or not to leave a lover. Perfectly underscored by jazzy elements and undeniable vocals, this record proves Kenny is definitely one to watch! [Spotify]
