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.

Willem James Cowan & Imogen Wasse - Anything

When two talented London singer-songwriters come together the results are double as good. Anything is a warm, melodic, mellow jam about the lengths people go for the ones they love. Cowan and Wasse's voices blend perfectly on Anything and there are some delightful saxophone and banjo lines tucked into this track to make the listening experience that much better. Anything is a perfect song to ease into your day or play when it's time to relax. 

King Cruff - Jack's Hill Dreamers featuring Skip Marley

King Cruff's song Jack's Hill Dreamers featuring Skip Marley is an upbeat, reggae-esque groove that feels like an escape to summer. You'll find Jack's Hill Dreamers on King Cruff's 2024 What Have I 'Don EP that features other great team-ups proving to be an album that's well worth a listen. Jack's Hill Dreamers is a versatile track that proves to be mellow enough to launch into the start of your day, ideal for a party mix and a great mood lifter when you need a recharge. 

The Burning Hell - Bottle of Chianti, Cheese and Charcuterie Board  

Now for something quirky and fun, Bottle of Chianti, Cheese and Charcuterie Board is the latest single from The Burning Hell. This techno-driven track folds in instruments and sounds reminiscent of 80s Casio keyboards that work perfectly with this playful tune. Try Bottle of Chianti, Cheese and Charcuterie Board on your next party mix. It's definitely one you'll want to share with friends, perhaps over some cheese and charcuterie.
