3 songs from London Morning to boost your playlist
London Morning's Ryan Soulliere has 3 hot music picks from this week's shows
London Morning's associate producer, Ryan Soulliere, listens to a lot of music for his role, picking tunes for the show. In any given week, that's about 25 songs. Here are his top three local and Canadian picks from last week.
Vertigo Blue - Wassup?
Vertigo Blue is the name of Chris Mermer's art project. The Toronto rapper has a handful of Vertigo Blue tracks available and they are worth a listen.
Wassup? is a slow jam with a driving rhythm and catchy chorus. And if this version of Wassup? feels a bit too light, there is a slightly harder version of the song called Wassup! Both are worthy of a party playlist. Wassup? is also mellow enough for kicking back or a great day-starter.
Fiker - Heavyhand
Heavyhand by London's Fiker might come off as an unassuming track but there is a lot going on in the mix. Heavyhand starts off with jangly guitar, reminiscent of 90's indie rock, and then Fiker's beautiful voice comes in with multiple harmonies, then it's topped off with a warm and lush bass line.
Heavyhand sounds slightly melancholy with a ray of hope. This is a versatile song that will work well on any playlist.
AHSIA - MY BAD
MY BAD is a straight up soul song with an infectious beat and perfect vocals from Vancouver's AHSIA. The bass and drums set a perfect vibe for dancing, gatherings or getting things done and the soaring vocals draw you into the beat.
Try MY BAD on a wide range of playlists. It's also the kind of song you can listen to over and over again without fatigue.
