#NEWMUSIC: MEGHAN TRAINOR COVERS SAM SMITH’S “STAY WITH ME” | ALBUM RELEASE ANNOUNCED
Somewhere along her recent Toronto Press Tour, Meghan Trainor found a quick minute to pop by over at the National Post and record an Acoustic version of Sam Smith's Stay With Me as per of their NP Sessions Series. And let me tell you - your mind will be blown! Dare I say I like it even more than the original? Sorry, Sam! You know I love you too!
Surely we can't be the only ones to see a little Dolly Parton in her?
Check it out in full below:
We cannot sing high enough praises for this ...

#SPOTTED: CHARLI XCX IN TORONTO AT THE HOXTON
There is no Female Artist owning Pop Music currently like Charli XCX. The 22-year-old English Singer/Songwriter's voice certainly is familiar yet oddly enough there still is a degree of unfamiliarity with her name. You've heard her ability to write and sing an Earworm of a Hook whether it be Icona Pop's I Love It, Iggy Azalea's Fancy or even Boom Clap, made famous by arguably the Summer Movie of 2014, The Fault in our Stars.
Charli XCX, née Charlotte Aitchison may be young, but she's long ...

#SPOTTED: TOVE LO IN TORONTO AT THE PHOENIX
It is impossible not to tune-in to the Radio and be hypnotized by Tove Lo's (née Tove Nilsson) new Single Habits. The Break-Up Song which has her proclaiming the necessity of "staying high all the time to keep you off her mind" is an instant Earworm and in a v. short time since her last visit to Toronto in May for Canadian Music Week, the 26-year-old Swedish Songstress' popularity stateside has grown dramatically.
Tove Lo played a bang-up Set last night at The Phoenix and the passion ...

#SPOTTED: MEGHAN TRAINOR IN TORONTO FOR “TITLE” EP
There is no Popstar I am more excited about in 2014 than Meghan Trainor. The bubbly 20-year-old Massachusetts Singer/Songwriter quickly ascended to the top of the Pop World with her international breakout Hit All About That Bass, a fun '60s-inspired Doo-Wop romp promoting the virtues of self-acceptance and positive self-image. The Song poignantly addresses a matter seldom brought to the surface at a time when bullying and body image are at then forefront of our collective social ...

#NEWMUSIC: VICTORIA DUFFIELD – “PAPER PLANES”
I maintain that Victoria Duffield is so under-appreciated. I've been touting this young lady since her first Single and just released today is her new Video for PAPER PLANES. Uber-catchy, and I love that she always brings it with the dancing. Her Tunes are Earworms. LOVE. And is that the CN Tower we see in the background there? Toronto represent!
Check out the Video for Paper Planes:
Duffield's latest Disc ACCELERATE is on iTunes here.

#NEWMUSIC: FERGIE – “L.A.LOVE (LA LA)”
At long last! We've been wondering about where Fergie went and with marriage and childbearing to blame (how absolutely unacceptable! jk!) and before the end of 2014 it looks like we are getting one of our biggest Pop Music wishes, a return of The Duchess!! The globetrotting Track gives love to Cities around the World well, because basically The Duchess is adored all around the World, naturally.
The Songstress, who now goes credited as Fergie Duhamel, teams with Dijon McFarlane (DJ Mustard), ...
