Peach PRC – Aussie pop princess Peach PRC just dropped her dazzling new single “Miss Erotica,” a fun, campy love letter to strip-club culture and the showgirls who caught her attention. Co-written in LA with Ryan Linvill and Maya Kurchner and produced by Space Primates, the track marks a bold new era for Peach, blending camp, empowerment, and queer glamour. Accompanied by a glossy high-fantasy visual directed by Maris Jones (Chappell Roan, Gucci), “Miss Erotica” is a shimmering ode to performance, self-expression, and unapologetic femininity.

Nonso Amadi – Global Afro-R&B artist Nonso Amadi is back with “DIVE IN,” the second single from his upcoming EP TO CRY A FLOOD (out November 14th via Universal Music Canada). Blending lush Afrobeats percussion with silky R&B textures, the self-produced track explores the thrill and risk of romantic devotion. Following the success of “PILLOW,” “DIVE IN” cements Nonso’s bold new chapter as a boundary-pushing voice in global R&B and one of the most exciting global talents coming out of Canada today.

Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers – There’s no sophomore slump here! ARIA Award-winning indie-rockers Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers return with their bold second album GLORY, out now via Mom + Pop Music. Produced by Catherine Marks (boygenius, Wolf Alice), the record is a confident, whip-smart evolution of their sound. Sharp, honest, and unapologetically them. It arrives alongside the focus track “WONDERFUL,” a cathartic anthem about anxiety and self-doubt, capturing the thrill and fear of pushing through anyway.

King Cruff – Buzzworthy Canadian-Jamaican artist King Cruff is out now with his new single “6 MILLY” via Tuff Gong Collective/Universal Music Canada, produced by The Boy Kam (Drake, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj). A darkly romantic twist on Toronto’s take on the dancehall sound, the track channels “shotta in love” energy with moody intensity. Following his breakout year and Billboard-praised hit “BUNCH,” King Cruff now gears up for his first headlining run, the BANTU KNOT BUTU Tour, kicking off November 13th in London, Ontario and hitting Toronto on November 14th and Quebec City on November 28th.

Lights – Canadian electro-pop powerhouse Lights returns with “LEARNING TO LET GO,” a shimmering anthem for the messy middle between heartbreak and healing. We’ve all been there before, right? Written and produced by Lights herself, the track explores emotional shapeshifting and the freedom found in release. Accompanied by a dreamy self-edited video, it’s the second single from her upcoming deluxe album A6EXTENDED (out January 30th), which expands her sonic universe with eight new songs and a full visual experience.

Leon Knight – Genre-blending rock artist Leon Knight is making waves with his funky new single “Yes I Do” featuring DE’WAYNE, out now via Knightmare Records. Premiered with a swagger-filled On The Radar performance, the track fuses electrifying guitar riffs, soulful funk vocals, and recalls the greatness of Jesse Johnson or Morris Day and The Time. Bold, unapologetic, and built for both the stage and the club, “Yes I Do” cements Knight’s mission to bring raw, authentic rock and roll back to the mainstream. Rock is dead? Not if Leon Knight has anything to say about it!
