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.

Abby Jeanne – “Sage And Cigarettes”
Born in Milwaukee as Abigail Jeanne Gurn-Schlicht, this talented singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has had a complicated life. Daughter of artful parents, she submerged herself in art, books and 60s pop. She left home at 17 and traveled around Europe and Thailand on a quest to create both visual and musical art. Now based in New York, she released her debut EP “Rebel Love” in 2017.
Written as a reflection of her own experience healing as a traumatized woman in a modern world, her new single takes the classic soul sound and gets her personality stamped all over it. Immediately taking your ears back to the 60s with a mellow electric guitar and mild rhythm, it’s her sensuous vocals that truly capture your heart. And with silky backing voices, this is a sweet slice of neo-soul.
