Mary Jeans – “Just A Phase”
Born and raised in Montreal, this rising Canadian singer and songwriter started performing at events aged 8. She entered a multitude of singing and dancing competitions such as Cégep en Spectacle and sang at the renowned Place Des Arts and Théâtre St-Denis. Influenced by The Beatles, Bruno Mars and Janelle Monae, she fused pop, R&B, funk and disco. She released her debut “Stumbled” in 2019.
Singing about the challenges a young adult faces when navigating major life decisions, her new single infuses the empowering lyrics with a dance floor-ready groove. First drawing you in with a hypnotic, ethereal guitar, then the tune comes alive with a lively rhythm, funky guitar plucks and shimmering keys. And with her velveteen vocals, she merges bits of R&B, funk and soul into a catchy earworm.

Jérémie & The Delicious Hounds – “Cruel”
Hailing from Winnipeg, this Canadian soul-funk outfit was formed around lead singer and guitarist Jérémie Brémault, who won a local talent show in 2013 without any experience or training. He went on to hand-pick local musicians for an 8-piece band. They took their bustling live show to the International Jazz Festival and Festival Du Voyageur. They debuted with their self-titled EP in 2017.
Telling a relatable story about desiring a woman, despite her treating you cruelly, their new single wraps it in a driving, funkalicious tune. Taken from their upcoming full album with the same title, expected later this year, it’s the sprightly rhythm, spirited electric guitars and melancholic horns that deliver a retro funk vibe, while the smooth, smoky vocals add a luring sexiness to this up-tempo jam.
