We’ve been loving this song since its release in October, but this month it’s been on repeat. Babygirl is a Toronto-based dream/indie-pop duo formed by Kiki Frances and Cameron Bright. We discovered them through Alex Porat, who has worked with the duo.
Their vibe is effortlessly beautiful, and we’re obsessed with the dreamy indie-pop feel of this track, as well as the rest of their album Stay Here Where It’s Warm.

“Deep End” is a fun rock ballad from J.Y.N., an artist we’ve been following for a while and have featured before. We absolutely love his sound, which blends rock with punk-rock influences in a way that feels fresh and fearless. There’s really no artist we can compare him to as his style is completely his own and sits right within one of our favourite genres.

“SEASONS” is a cozy song about time, tenderness, and the quiet courage it takes to know when to hold on and when to let a season change. It’s a beautiful, slower R&B track, and JUNNY’s lyricism shines as always. We love him, if you couldn’t tell by now.

We’ve been loving this song ever since it was released on ATEEZ’s latest Japanese album Ashes to Light. It’s a beautiful, slow track that symbolizes growth and building intensity, mirroring the group’s own journey, which we really love.
Even without knowing Japanese, the depth and emotion of the song come through so clearly. Their vocals are absolutely stunning.
