“What Have You Done To Me” is Christee Palace’s stylish and sultry new single. The moody and evocative song sets a tone that’s dark, but lush, and Palace blurs genres with a story a lot of people will find very relatable.

Valley’s “There’s Still A Light In The House” put the band on the map in 2020, and it was one of 2020’s standout indie rock singles.

Canadian alt-pop rockers The Royal Foundry released their new EP, Strangers, and listening to it feels like a winter retreat, especially starting off with the track “You Make It Easy”.
