Hannah Georgas has this mesmerizing way of sounding like she is right there in the room with you, quietly singing about her personal secrets and other human artifacts on her latest release. The light opener “Scratch” immediately pulls you in with Georgas’ powerful voice, while songs like “Money Makes You Cool,” with its art pop synths, command your attention. As the snow covers your window, it’s the perfect record for the winter months.
Featuring Cindy Lee, Nemahsis, Wyatt C. Louis, and more — These Canadian artists all commandeered our headphones this year in a compelling way.
