In film parlance, "quiet on the set" is the exhortation that precedes "we're rolling!" and Montreal trio Planet Giza is certainly rolling these days, having launched its 12-song sophomore album, Ready When you Are, on April 7. The album art in general, and the fabulous Will Albu and Dovi-directed video for "Quiet on the Set" in particular, channel 1960s mod culture, styled in black and white with off-kilter camera angles and bold editing — a sort of retro-futuristic fusion. The song itself is a vehicle for Planet Giza's jazz-inflected, lyrical hip-hop whose Venn diagram overlaps elements of the Robert Glasper Experiment, Ric Wilson and Children of Zeus. Lushly produced by the trio's Rami B and DoomX, the beat propels Tony Stone's sung choruses and intricately rapped verses as he reassures: "Never worry 'bout the time, girl/ I'll stay by your side til it's over." Fans in Montreal can catch Planet Giza's album launch at the Fairmount Theatre on April 14. — Robert Rowat

Hayden Desser released his first album in eight years last week, and on the title track he asks the loaded question "Are we Good" (sans question mark). But the song isn't accusatory; instead it's forgiving, layering his electric guitar with piano, muted drum and a splash of tambourine for a warm, inviting sound. "I know why you needed something else/ I put your love too high up on a shelf./ You have the greatest heart I've ever seen/ sometimes love ain't always all you need," he sings on the first version of the chorus, an unsurprisingly heart-wrenching set of lines from the Canadian indie-folk authority on sad songs since dropping his debut album, Everything I Long For, in 1995.

"This song was hanging around for a while with a bunch of mumbled lyrics I had as place-setters," Hayden recalled via press release. "The only line that stuck was the refrain 'are we good.' I sent it over to Matt [Berninger of the National] and he came up with the rest. When I read the lines 'Are you worried about the past, coming back to you too fast, are you worried about the sea, and what's going on underneath,' I knew I'd sent the song to the right guy." Released after the delightfully unexpected duet "On a Beach" with Feist (accompanied by a video featuring the two singers plus Berninger and Steve Buscemi), "Are we Good" is a beautifully unguarded entry into a new full-length album that is more than worth your time. — Holly Gordon

After announcing an upcoming collaborative album, producer Kaytranada and rapper Aminé have released their first single as Kaytraminé. The combination is as groovy as you'd expect, with Kaytra delivering his signature funky beats over a thumping bassline. Aminé's punchy flow injects a dose of energy as he raps about locking down his love interest: "If I say, 'I love you,' then that shit is what I mean." The inclusion of none other than Pharrell Williams, who co-produced the track and sings the chorus, elevates the song in a magical way. Shortly after announcing the collab on social media, Aminé retweeted a fan who proclaimed: "It's going to be a Kaytranada and Aminé summer, I fear." Fear not: if an infectious hook and syncopated grooves are what you're in search of as the temperatures rise, then "4eva" is ready to check that box. — Natalie Harmsen

Billianne has had a busy few years, from her breakthrough success performing covers on TikTok to now releasing original songs of her own. "Full Circle," her second-ever single, finds the Milton, Ontario singer-songwriter reflecting on her immense growth and how, in the flurry of accomplishments and learning to navigate adulthood, the act of reminiscing can help keep you grounded. "It felt like I was observing myself grow so quickly while also feeling so young still," Billianne shared in an Instagram post. "Full Circle," which starts off with an acoustic guitar riff and swells over time to reveal lush orchestral layers, is the sound of an artist growing into her own identity at her own pace, while never forgetting the friends, family and roots that forged the foundation of who she is. — Melody Lau

When it comes to bubblegum pop, no one is doing it better than Ralph right now. On the Toronto artist's latest single, "Scary Hot," she teams up with Calgary's Devon Cole to pen a flirty anthem that is equal parts lustful and infectious. "Windows steaming up in the parking lot, body rock/ Giving me a buzz when you hit the spot, soda pop," she sings on the chorus. Elsewhere, Ralph sings, "Girl, you make it so damn hard to say goodbye," signalling the first time she has ever explicitly mentioned her queerness in a song. "It feels exciting to show this side of me in a way that feels fun and natural," Ralph notes in a press release. With the weather gradually warming up, consider this fiery track an early contender for song of the summer. — ML

Fresh off the heels of producing on Kelela's long-awaited return, Raven, Toronto producer and DJ Bambii is having a banner year. Nine of the album's 15 tracks have her distinct stamp on them, a major milestone for her as a producer. Her current momentum shows no signs of slowing, with the release of a delicious new track of her own, "One Touch." Transporting you instantly to the rave, it's a smorgasbord of sounds clashing together to accelerate your heart rate. The past, present and future coexist in Bambii's production, old school drum and bass meeting alien-like vocal pitching and lazer synths to create a sound that seems undefinably beyond genre. It's clear she's having fun with experimentation and we'll be waiting with anticipation to see what she churns out next. — Kelsey Adams
