Songs of the Week: July 12 - 18, 2021
“Threshold” by Debra-Jean Creelman
The title and lead-off track for Debra-Jean Creelman’s new album Threshold was released this week, as was the album itself.
Apparently this is one of the first songs DJ ever wrote - I’d never have known. It’s beautiful, ethereal and give me Feist-vibes. Check out the single below, and the full album here.

“My Own Heart” by Megan Nash
Saskatchewan’s Megan Nash shared yet another new single last week, releasing “My Own Heart” with her backing band, The Best Of Intentions (which is probably my current favourite backing band name)
Nash says the heart wrenching song is “about sitting with grief and loss. Feeling all of the heavy and uncomfortable feelings. And wanting to hear nothing but your own heartbeat. No inspirational quotes, no unsolicited relationship advice, no “fish in the sea” cliches. Just your heartbeat. Making sure it’s still there. That you’re still you.”

“oh no!” by shy kids
The description of shy kids music in the PR email says that they “make psychedelic Disney music; curious pop made for weirdos who still like a good chorus”… which pretty much hits the nail on the head.
Recently signed to the new label EVERYTHING FOREVER started by Tyler Bancroft (of Said The Whale), these very fun musicians and filmmakers just release the new song “oh no!”, along with a video game ladened music video that is well worth several watches! Check it out below.
