“Bottled Up” by Soran
During lockdown, it’s easy to feel “Bottled Up.” In his newest single, singer-songwriter Soran tells us exactly how he feels – and that honesty is what we love about him. When he’s not writing vulnerable, honest, and heart-felt lyrics, you can find Soran on TikTok covering his favourite songs with a unique flair.

“Masterpiece” by DaBaby
Something tells us that 2021 is going to be DaBaby’s year. His 2020 single, “Rockstar ft. Roddy Ricch,” and his appearance on Dua Lipa’s “Levitating” made him a pop music heavyweight, and he isn’t stopping there. Soon, DaBaby will be on every billboard (hint: check Yonge and Dundas Square today!).
