Songs of the Week: July 05 - 11, 2021
“One Thing I Know” by Arkells
After a string of singles, Arkells have finally announced the details of their sixth studio album. Continuing in the tradition of two-word album titles, Blink Once comes out September 30th, and if the songs we’ve heard so far are any indication, it’s going to sound (and be) HUGE.
Case in point, latest single “One Thing I Know” is a bombastic, rowdy, feel-good sing-a-along that is no doubt going to be a crowd pleaser when the Hamilton boys get back on the road. Hit play below, and crank it up loud.

“Hide Me Like You Do” by TITUS BANK
Vancouver’s TITUS BANK released his latest single last week, “Hide Me Like You Do”. The gorgeous pop tune was co-written with Toronto’s Valley, and BANK says “it was really special because it sparked a chemistry that I’ve never experienced before with any other songwriters. We spent the day getting to know each other, and then started writing the song by brainstorming title ideas and going from there. It was really organic and natural.”
The song is the second single he’s released recently, and here’s hoping for more (or even a full album) sooner rather than later.

“Avocado” by Haviah Mighty
Haviah Mighty released a new song, “Avocado”, all about channelling inner confidence and has a fresh, summer-y vibe to go along with it. Collaborating with Toronto’s Grandtheft, the song will appear on her upcoming EP Stock Exchange this fall.
For now, open a window, sit in the sun and enjoy!
