Best New Canadian Tracks This Week: Witch Prophet, Lavish, Kofi f/Boslen

It’s hard to keep up with new tracks every week. With a bevy of songs being released every day, we made a list highlighting new tracks from Canadian artists.

Witch Prophet f/Dillon Ponders, “Energy Vampire”

Some people are just a drag to be around. On Toronto artist Witch Prophet’s new song “Energy Vampire” featuring the rapper Dillan Ponders, the two try to maintain their distance from people who just suck the life out of everything. New album Gateway Experience coming May 3.

Lavish, “World In My Hands”

“World In My Hands” is a self-assured, confident ballad showing the power love has on Toronto-via-Winnipeg R&B singer Lavish. In a sea of toxic R&B, Lavish stands out as he focuses on the beauties of love. Drake and Jessie Reyez both shouted out the track in their IG stories.

Kofi f/Boslen, “Mine”

Toronto’s Kofi and Vancouver’s Boslen team up on “Mine” for an afro-beats inspired that navigates the difficulties of dealing with a toxic partner who doesn’t give them the love and attention they deserve.

Peak, “8PM”

“8PM” sees Peak auto-crooning over an atmospheric beat that lets the Vancouver-based artist experiment with his free-flowing spacey melodies that ripple across the aquatic backdrop the instrumental provides.

Paul Chin, “We Are All Made Of Water”

The final track on Toronto producer Paul Chin’s latest album And Under Heaven We Are All Made Of Water perfectly encapsulates the galactic aesthetic the album meticulously provides. Backed by bouncy drums, smooth strings, and a sticky verse by Manga Saint Hilare, “We Are All Made Of Water” sunsets the album with a bang.

Mezraa & JJAD, “Subtle Games”

“Subtle Games” is a silky R&B track that tackles the difficulties of falling for someone who isn’t totally honest, but enjoys playing mind games. 

Luna Elle, “9 to 5”

Even when 2023 Artist to Watch Luna Elle sings through heartbreak and desperation, her voice still feels like its own healing mechanism. Pairing her angelic vocals with honest and confident lyrics, “9 to 5” sounds like the first step to self-actualization.

Jayda G, “Circle Back Around”

The now-London, UK-based Grammy nominated artist is back with new album Guy dropping June 9 on Pirates Blend in Canada. “Circle Back Around” is an anthem to kick off the new album cycle.
