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.

The latest single from The Pairs is calm, relaxing and gives you the sense that someone out there is checking in with you. Thinkin About Ya has a sparse mix that really let's you appreciate the group's three-part harmonies to their fullest. Thinkin About Ya is an ideal song for easing into your weekend mornings.

Birds On a Wire by London's Thunder Queens makes an about-face from the previous song. Birds On a Wire is more than a punk jam, with melody and a catchy hook. This song demonstrates that Thunder Queens are more than great performers; they are gifted songwriters. Birds On a Wire is destined for your next party mix, and it will help you tear through your weekend chores.

London's downtown is alive this weekend with Jerk Fest at Covent Garden Market and Latin Community Festival on Dundas Place. To help get into the festive spirit, London Morning played Dale Hasta el Suelo (El Party en London) by J-DAVID and other members from the Simple Reflections For Artists Collective. El Party en London is a great dance jam that will lift your mood and put some pep in your step. Play this one at your next gathering for an instant dance party.
