It included her Top 10 hit “Whoa,” as well as the fan-favourite “I Want You Around.” Fans have been yearning for new music from Aalegra for quite some time now, especially because her last record — "Ugh Those Feels Again" was widely acclaimed amongst R&B lovers for its melodic beauty and impressive songwriting.

Toronto native, soul/R&B singer and producer Charlotte Day Wilson has dropped her highly-anticipated debut album "Alpha" via Stone Woman Music. Charlotte has made waves in the industry through her impressive instrumental repertoire of guitar, bass, drum pad, and piano talent, producing her own music as well as contributing to other projects. Beyond that, her authoritative and soulful voice and craft for songwriting have kept fans waiting for long-awaited studio full length.

Australian singer-songwriter Troye Sivan has released a brand new track titled "I Could Cry Just Thinkin About You." The song is from his fifth EP, "In A Dream," released on 21 August 2020 through EMI Music Australia and Capitol Records. Initially scheduled for a late 2020 arrival, "In a Dream" was released early, after the COVID-19 pandemic caused Sivan to change his perspective about the music and features a dance-pop sound. The song's music is composed by Troye Sivan & penned by Troye Sivan, Teo Halm and originally was an interlude on the album. Still, due to the fan's excitement over the track, the full version has been made available. Here is what Sivan said of the track, "I recorded ‘Could Cry Just Thinking About You’ in my kitchen. I just had a little microphone set up. And I’m fully crying into the microphone on some of those vocal tapes."

Courtney Barnett has announced her third solo studio album, Things Take Time, Take Time. The follow-up to the 2018 LP "Tell Me How You Really Feel." Ahead of the new record, Barnett has shared the opening track “Rae Street” and an accompanying music video. The Australian singer-songwriter did record the album during the pandemic in late 2020 and early 2021, according to a press release, but that doesn’t seem to have changed much — it looks to be full of the same delightfully perceptive, somewhat offbeat observations she has made her name on since her 2010 EPs. That’s on display in lead single “Rae Street,” in which Barnett takes stock of the banalities of suburban life, from garbage pickups to dog walking. (Barnett had teased the song weeks before in a trailer for her upcoming North American tour. It comes with a playful video that finds Barnett playing all the parts of these neighbours, from the frustrated parent to the bored loner. Barnett has recently been performing a string of duet covers: She released Tim Hardin’s oft-covered “Reason to Believe” with former tourmate Vagabon, and the pair reunited to cover Sharon Van Etten’s “Don’t Do It” for her "epic Ten" reissue.

I was able to style my upcoming album a lot more than I would have in different times. I wouldn't have gotten to this exact group of songs and genres if I hadn't had this inspiring, creative and global experience of learning how to adapt to certain situations, cope with different things and live in the moment. It's about planting seeds to grow, as an artist and as a person.” LP has released five albums and three EPs. LP wrote songs for other artists including Cher, Rihanna, the Backstreet Boys, Leona Lewis, Mylène Farmer, Céline Dion and Christina Aguilera.

Harlem rapper has released her new single “F**k Him All Night.

It’s been seven years since we got to enjoy Azealia Banks’ long-awaited debut LP "Broke With Expensive Taste," which was at the time a groundbreaking body of work that merged hip hop with other varieties of music to create a style all her own. In addition to boasting breakout cuts like “212,” “Yung Rapunxel,” and “Heavy Metal and Reflective,” the album also saw contributions from Lazy Jay and fellow avant-garde artists Theophilus London. This isn’t to say that Banks has remained dormant since the well-received release — the NYC star has since released projects Slay-Z, Ice Colors Change, and Yung Rapunxel: Pt. II, the last of which made landfall in 2019. Currently, Azealia Banks is said to be putting the final touches on "Fantasea II: The Second Wave," the sequel to her 2012 mixtape Fantasea.

2021 marked the beginning of a new chapter for Brynn Elliott. After kickstarting the year with her empowering new single, “Tell Me I’m Pretty, “Elliott has released her new EP titled, "Can I Be Real?" via Atlantic, Big Yellow Dog. It is a collection of vibrant pop songs that explore identity, self-image and finding your place in the world. She wrote "Can I Be Real?" after being on the road for about two years promoting her first project. Here what Elliott said, "When I went to write these songs, I really" had to sit with my experiences since I graduated college and realized I had been in this world of performance and glamour on the road. I had been “on,” as it were, for two years. And while I didn’t think I was inauthentic, performing 24/7 can cause you to shy away from the more real moments of life – messy hair, no make-up kind of things. So sitting with these two things made me want to write a project where I was frank with who I was and how I was feeling." Exploding onto the scene with her breakout single titled “Might Not Like Me,” which has amassed nearly 4 million views on Youtube alone, Brynn went on to tour with the likes of Why Don’t We, AJ Mitchell, and James Arthur. Currently signed to Atlantic Records, the rising star continues to put in the work necessary to make it to the big leagues, with her live performances as a huge part of her artistry.

The critically hailed Toronto-based singer-songwriter Ralph has returned with her new EP, "Gradience." “The word ‘gradience’ basically means blurred boundaries, which felt like an accurate summary of the collective last year but also a description of the songs on my EP,” she explains of the fresh, thrilling collection of catchy tunes. The EP has six tracks, all infused with a fun ’70s/’80s sound reminiscent of Cher, Donna Summer and Kate Bush. The songs also have a contemporary pop sound, similar to the style of pop icon Dua Lipa. RALPH’s silky voice, accompanied by synths and wild guitar, creates a unique and refreshing sound. The collection includes tracks like “Tommy,” an ode to a missed connection, “Love Potion,” “Mood Ring,” “Strawberry Meltdown,” “Took the Fun,” and “Rules of Love,” which is described as her most intimate song to date. With five more songs, all as sonically delightful as “Tommy,” this new EP is sure to become a staple in the world of pop. RALPH has also released tour dates for the end of 2021 and the beginning of the next year in Canada and the U.S.

Singer-songwriter Lana Del Ray has finally released her seventh studio album titled "Chemicals Over The Country Club" after months of pushing back the release. In October, she released "Let Me Love You Like a Woman" as the first step ahead of the release. In November, she announced that she would be pushing the project's release back by 16 weeks due to vinyl delays. This is Rey’s follow-up to the epic “Norman Fucking Rockwell!,” from 2019. Again largely produced with Jack Antonoff, “Chemtrails” finds refuge in small towns, in leaving the big city behind. After years of making coastal pop wafting with nostalgia—for old Hollywood, for the cosmopolitan beatnik scene, for Mustangs, horse races, and other such Yankee status symbols—Del Rey now pushes toward the heartland, and her visions of Americana begin to overlap with the musical tradition. On “Tulsa Jesus Freak,” she coos about going back to Arkansas and experiencing backwater romance along the Bible Belt. Over hushed, isolated piano and soft guitar riffs with folk overtones (and a Joni Mitchell cover), one of the more prescient songwriters of our time retreats to a personal hamlet of her own making.

Kelly Price has released a brand new EP titled "Grace," who has recently signed with Motown Gospel in a joint venture with SANG GIRL! Inc. The six-track EP in which she poured her heart into has used it as a healing tool after losing her grandfather, followed by the sudden passing of her mother at the end of the year. Upon first listen, we're thinking maybe she needs to consider a permanent crossover because this really is who she is. From the exuberant lead single "Dance Party," to the heartfelt title track, to a smoothed-out revival of Alicia Myers' classic, "I Want to Thank You," Ms. Price is clearly at home when she first gives honour to God who is the head of her life. While slick production, infectious beats and poignant rhymes by Jon Connor and 901$outh ("What I Need - A Sinner's Prayer Remix") lend a contemporary edge to the project, Kelly proves that the ole time religion is still good enough for us with a stirring rendition of "Faith That Conquers." The release of "Grace" comes 15 years after Price’s acclaimed gospel album, "This Is Who I Am", hit No. 1 on Billboard‘s Top Gospel Albums chart and landed in the top ten of the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
