3 songs from London Morning to boost your playlist
London Morning's Ryan Soulliere has 3 hot music picks from this week's shows
London Morning's associate producer, Ryan Soulliere, listens to a lot of music for his role, picking tunes for the show. In any given week, that's about 25 songs. Here are his top three local and Canadian picks from last week.
Tanika Charles - Here When You're Ready
Prepare your ears for the sweetest-sounding soul track you'll hear all week. Tanika Charles' latest single Here When You're Ready is a great addition to her amazing catalogue of work. Here When You're Ready is smooth, chill and silky, with flawless vocals and deep soul instrumentation. It looks like the weather will be gloomy this weekend, so spin this gem to help keep the blues away.
Bry Webb - Someplace I'm Supposed To Be
London-born Bry Webb was back in the Forest City Friday night for a concert. London Morning went way back in his catalogue for a song from his 2014 album Free Will. The song Someplace I'm Supposed To Be is a mellow roots/blues jam with an almost haunting guitar line and relaxed vocal delivery that works great together. Someplace I'm Supposed To Be is a song that will fit well on a variety of playlists. The lyrics and instrumentation make this an ideal driving song.
Classified - Wonder featuring Ian Janes
Sometimes, life doesn't go our way, and it causes us to wonder why. That is the topic of Classified's song Wonder feat. Ian Janes. Wonder is a slow-talking rap song that allows you to catch all of the lyrics, some of which might be relatable to one situation or another. The beat behind Wonder is pleasant and fits perfectly, making a potentially weighty song feel a bit lighter. Try Wonder on a variety of mellow playlists. It will also make a good weekend day starter.
