Song: made for you
Really sharp songwriting on this alt-pop song from 19-year-old Toronto artist renforshort. She explains: “’made for you’ is about changing your entire personality to fit another person’s standards, which is something a lot of women have to struggle with in a society where we’re expected to look and act a particular way.”

Artist: Ken Yates
Song: Consolation Prize
Album: Cerulean
Ken Yates explains the origin of this reflective folk song: “I wrote this song as somewhat of a sequel to the song “Quiet Talkers” from my last album. “Quiet Talkers” is about finding solace in the company of complete stranger for a night. I wrote “Consolation Prize” imagining how that relationship might look a few years in the future, with one of the characters falling in love, and the other person not feeling the same way. I think one of the hardest types of love is loving someone who doesn’t love you back, but still wishing the best for them.” Find it on his upcoming album, Cerluean, out June 3!
