3 songs from London Morning to boost your playlist

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.

For a relaxing soundtrack to ease into your weekend morning, look no further than Something's Gotta Give by the BC-based folk duo The Eisenhauers. Something's Gotta Give is an acoustic guitar-driven track with a mellow tempo and warm harmonies. This song will also work well when it's time to unwind after a long day.

For something with a lot more pep, Stiffler by London's Hartlet will fit nicely. This fast and distorted alternative rock tune has some catchy parts and a beat that will help accelerate whatever chores you have on your 'to-do' list. Stiffler will also play well on a party mix.

Rae Fawn's new single Second Best has a lot going on. It's a little jazzy, dips into soul, there are elements of dance and pop and some very clever lyrics. Second Best is a great mood lifter and reinvigorates feelings of self-worth. Try Second Best on a party mix to share with friends or when you want to dance like no one's watching. Warning: there is one expletive in the song, but it's not the big one.
