Justin Sears, The Dears, Naya Ali, & Arlo Maverick
Justin Sears - Limited Visions
Justin has been playing guitar in punk/metal bands for years, contributing riffs and sections of songs but never feeling like he could write a whole song. His brand new debut EP, Limited Visions proves himself wrong and has already paved the way for a full length which is already in the works.
The Dears - Lovers Rock
The thing that always makes albums by The Dears so good is how Murray Lightburn can pull you into his world by getting you to sing along. Lovers Rock is full of heartfelt songs that just get into you because the vocal melodies convey so much feeling all on their own.
Naya Ali - Godspeed: Baptism (Prelude)
“Godspeed” is the debut album by Naya Ali who was born in Ethiopia and then raised in Montreal. She bears it all lyrically by drawing inspiration from every aspect of her life, shedding light on the good times and the bad that combine to create perspective.
Arlo Maverick - “Focused”
Edmonton’s Arlo Maverick has a new single that he has broken down into three parts and it really brings things into focus. The full version is followed by the instrumental and then an acappella version, working as a trio to bring the listener closer to the process.
