In The Spotlight

Victoria Staff – “I Still Think You Might”

Hailing from Toronto, this Canadian singer and songwriter dealt with anxiety and depression her whole life. During her childhood music became her coping mechanism and a way to communicate with other people. She plays piano, guitar, banjo and ukulele. Although she got her degree in Behavioural Neuroscience from UBC, her passion for music led to her career as a musician. Inspired by Holly Humberstone, Stevie Nicks and Taylor Swift, she debuted with “Records & Honesty” in 2023.

Singing about a love that won’t let go, even after a breakup, and having to deal with those unresolved issues and emotions, her new single is a beautiful example of her storytelling skills. The song starts with a fragile acoustic guitar and is slowly joined by a resonant percussion. Adding warm electric guitars to the wistful chorus gives the melody a fuller sonic body. And with an emotive sensitivity in her rich vocals, this melancholic indie-pop tune takes us on a heartrending journey.

In The Spotlight

Jonny Morgan – “Another Heartache”

Originally from Dorset, this British singer and songwriter was brought up by music-loving parents. Raised on a steady diet of classic rock and blues, his dad took him to see Eric Clapton and Robert Cray in concert when he was 7. His musical horizon broadened after discovering Ray Charles. Since venturing into music as a career, he’s played Glastonbury and Nashville’s The Bluebird Café. Inspired by Nathaniel Rateliff, Michael Kiwanuka and Alabama Shakes, he debuted with “Hurt Me” in 2020.

Telling a tale of when everything is going your way something negative is bound to happen, his new single anticipates the hurt of a breakup. With an unique blend of classic rock, honest Americana and sweet nostalgia, the song is driven by an insatiable percussion. With sanguine electric guitars, warm horns and a fierce solo on Jimi Hendrix’s Fender Jazzmaster laying down the invigorating melody, it’s his hazy vocals which remind me of Mark Knopfler, that make this tune a fiery rocker.
