Over delicate acoustic guitar, Ouri delivers a breathtaking outpouring of love for her first release of 2023. The dreamy track is spliced together with the multi-instrumentalist's echoing vocalizing as she picks apart her love interest's past romances. "I want to hear your story all night long," she sings, her voice hovering barely above a whisper. The soft vocals help create space for a candid conversation, as she asks how her lover feels about her. A stunning electronic sample that sounds like an airy lullaby adds a celestial dimension to her words. "I was driving every day, screaming/singing in the car my new song to my love, while listening to Vegyn and Danny L Harle's 'Britnaeys New Baby," she said in a press release, noting that it was "to the point where I couldn't imagine the song without the sample." "Free your mind," she sings, delivering a soothing performance. — Natalie Harmsen

Dilly Dally had been making music for nearly a decade when news came earlier this month that the Toronto grunge-rockers were calling it quits. "It's time for us to move forward and continue our journeys separately," the band wrote in a statement. But even after two great albums — 2015's Sore and 2018's Heaven, both filled to the brim with a sound that was unapologetically loud, messy and challenged gender dynamics and norms — it felt like the band still had a lot to explore and express. It's admittedly a tough blow to dedicated fans and the Toronto rock scene, but it's softened by the release of two final singles, "Morning Light" and "Colour of Joy," which showcase what the band does best while giving us a glimpse at what might've been. The former single is more polished and more pop-leaning with a steady drum beat and a melange of riffs serving as the foundation for lead singer Enda Monks's signature growl, which builds into an airy yelp. These final releases signal a new dawn for its members, and us fans are lucky to bask in their glory one last time. — Melody Lau

There's an air that hovers over Debby Friday's debut album, Good Luck, like she's emerged straight out of the pits of hell — with guttural howling, fire blazing and in search of absolution. It's one of CBC Music's most anticipated albums of the season, and for good reason. She's synthesized the turbulence of her youth, and the innerwork that brought her solace, into an electrifying collection of songs. More pared down than the acid house, industrial techno and hyperpop sounds found elsewhere on Good Luck, "Let u Down" is led by Friday's achingly sombre voice, hollow drums and frigid synths.

She professes hard truths with the frankness of words written in a diary hidden away, under lock and key. Friday poured the entire essence of herself into this album and this song feels like it's getting to the root of a rot she wants to be absolved of: "I've been a bad girl all my life/ and I've been a mean lover/ and I've been a dream crusher/ I know I let you down." There's such clarity, pathos and pain in the lyrics, the stark honesty an invitation to release your own inner turmoil. In January, she shared a tweet about the record, saying: "This album is all of me — everything there ever was and ever will be. I have put everything I f—ing got into this and I hope you will feel my love, I hope you will hear my song." We do feel it, Debby, we feel it all. — Kelsey Adams

Almost three years after her last album, 2020's All That Emotion, singer-songwriter Hannah Georgas is back with a brand new single and a yet-to-be-titled album arriving this summer. The single, "This too Shall Pass," is Georgas' debut as a co-producer, helming the track alongside her partner Sean Sroka (Ten Kills the Pack) and joined by musicians James McAlister (Sufjan Stevens), Graham Walsh (Holy F–k, Metz) and Gabe Wax (Soccer Mommy, Kurt Vile). A lowkey, almost meditative track, "This too Shall Pass" finds Georgas giving herself an internal pep talk, repeatedly returning to the phrase, "This too shall pass/ the pain won't last." Its chugging bassline illustrates a gentle, forward momentum, a reminder to keep moving ahead despite what doubts or fears may stand in the way, and to just to just go a bit easier on yourself. When those negative thoughts in your head go away, anything can feel possible — with that kind of mindset, we can't wait to see what else Georgas has in store for us this year. — ML
