In The Spotlight

Matt Zaddy – “What Comes Around”

Hailing from Mississauga, Ontario, this Canadian singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist took his first steps onto the music scene as bandleader for death-metal band Starring Janet Leigh. Since then he’s reinvented himself and created a sound blending folk-rock with modern soul. Influenced by artists like John Mayer, Neil Young and Leon Bridges, he debuted with his single “A Way Out” in 2015.

Narrating the relatable struggle to keep striving to do what you love, with the person you love and with eternal hope on the horizon, his new single wonders about the big questions in life. Wrapping those philosophical words in an upbeat, soul-infused melody, it’s the perky guitars, chirpy rhythm, some crisp gospel organ and his dynamic vocals that make this an ear-pleasing, high-energy groove.

FLEECE – “Do You Wanna Party?”

Started when three teenagers started jamming together at summer camp, this Canadian quartet officially formed in 2013. Consisting of Matt Rogers, Megan Ennenberg, Jameson Daniel and Ethan Soil, they gained notoriety when their video parody “How To Write An Alt-J Song” went viral in 2015. Compared to Radiohead, Tame Impala and The Pixies, they debuted with their album “Scavenger” in 2015.

Saying goodbye to overthinking and celebrating the joyous feeling of freedom, their new single is a feel-good, disco-lit groove. With a lively beat, cheerful guitars and a whole bunch of sonic fun, they’ve created a delicious blend of retro elements and modern touches. And with Megan’s immaculate vocals, this infectious tune exudes sheer happiness, groovy vibes and pure summertime joy.
