Peter Raffoul – “Thought You Should Know”

Originally from Leamington, this Canadian singer and songwriter hails from a highly musical family. His dad Jody played in rock bands for over three decades, his brother Billy is a singer/songwriter in his own right. He started playing piano and writing songs in his late teens. Now based in Nashville and inspired by The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, he debuted with “F****D Up Together” in 2021.

First creating a shimmering soundscape with a soft synth and his serene, slightly balmy voice admitting to crashing his car, his new single fuses his talent for captivating storytelling with a lush, retro-touched folk-rock melody. Adding some oopmph to the chorus, it’s the zesty beat, vivid guitars and mild accordion that makes this vintage track an ear-pleasing tune you definitely should know.
