Artist: Lenny Bull
Song: “Elevator”
Album/EP: Single
Punchy and rhythmic rock ‘n roll from ballerina turned country artist turned smouldering rocker Lenny Bull, “Elevator” is a crunching offering from the Torontonian. A grooving bass takes the forefront while Bull’s sneering vocals and determined strumming add some oomph to the crackling track.

Artist: Christos & the Violet Crown
Song: “The Black Is On” feat. Olina
Album/EP: Christos & the Violet Crown
Deeply rooted blues with an affecting, virtuosic performance by Athens-via-London guitarist and composer Christos, “The Black Is On” is a memorably sizzling lead-off track from the self-titled EP. Olina’s crooning is matched perfectly by the weeping axeman’s riffing, with low-key instrumentals sitting back to let the stars shine.
Watch/Listen:
Artist: Kelland & Jay Isiah
Song: “Lullaby”
Album/EP: Single
Pulsating synths and Jay Isiah’s soothing singing makes for a dance floor rockabye in “Lullaby”, the former’s collaboration with Vancouver producer Kelland. The aforementioned melodic and percussive synths lend some smooth movement to this late-night sizzler.
