Mac DeMarco's miraculous awakening, and 3 more songs you need to hear this week
Songs you need to hear is CBC Music's weekly list of hot new Canadian tracks. Scroll down to discover the songs our producers are loving right now. For even more new music, check out our SYNTH playlist on Youtube. Holy, Mac DeMarco Over an animated yet unadorned guitar riff, Mac DeMarco's voice quivers as he sings about a "miracle from above" on Holy: "Miracle/ Reveal yourself to me," he sings with his signature silvery twang. The indie singer-songwriter wrote and produced the lean track entirely on his own, and it serves as the second single from his forthcoming Aug. 22 album, Guitar. A simple bass line helps ground the melody, which is understated and gentle without feeling too sparse. In DeMarco's typical D.I.Y. fashion, he self-shot the track's accompanying music video, which transports listeners into the outdoors for a breezy walk: "I waded around in the ocean fully clothed for a couple hours and completely filled my boots with seawater," he shared. "There were some other shots on some rocks I kept trying too, but in the end, the clip of me falling in the garden and eating the apple was best." — Natalie Harmsen Good Buddy, Fontine Cover me up, spin me around, tell me you're not gonna leave. We're takin' it slow but I already know, you're a good buddy to me. With that joyful chorus Fontine is back, serving a grittier sound than the folk she introduced us to on her acclaimed 2023 debut EP, Yarrow Lover. Although Fontine is embracing a rock-star vibe this time around, ready to roll with a debut album set for Oct. 7, the centre of her songs are still heartfelt and vulnerable. Good Buddy, the forthcoming album's title track, is named after CB radio slang for "gay," and the queer artist from Winnipeg leans into the term, setting us up with a live-off-the-floor song filled with tiny, quiet moments of love. — Holly Gordon Annihilation, Tops There's always a sense of anxiety that floods in when thinking about the future, but that sentiment feels tenfold in this exact moment in time. Montreal indie-pop stalwart Tops has chosen to tackle this with "a mix of complacency and surrendering," as explained in a statement. That's not as dire as it sounds though; sometimes there's freedom in acknowledging "in the end, nothing is ever finished and you just gotta follow your heart." That is felt across their latest single, Annihilation, a slinky number that was built off the foundation of drummer Riley Fleck's fill-heavy rhythms. "Truth is I'm just barely getting by," sings Jane Penny, "When I lose control/ Will I surface and know/ That I've reached the end?" Complete with synths and a dramatic chorus breakdown, it's easy to get lost — and yes, surrender — to the song's undeniable grooves. — Melody Lau Rapture in Blue, Daniel Avery and Cécile Believe British producer and composer Daniel Avery announced his upcoming album Tremor last week, with the release of a new single featuring Cécile Believe. Rapture in Blue is buoyed by the Montreal (now L.A.-based) producer and singer's ethereal vocals that float over Avery's textural layers of slowed-down breakbeat and reverb. Clanging guitar comes in on the chorus as Cécile Believe reaches her upper register and glittering chords descend in the aftermath. It's a lush and effusive track that reveals more and more of its magic on repeat listens. This one's for the real yearners, as she sings in the second verse: "Every time you walk away/ A little piece of me goes/ A bittersweet, sticky feeling/ Only lovers can know." — Kelsey Adams

Mariah Carey Shares ‘Sugar Sweet' Single With Kehlani And Shenseea
Mariah Carey Mariah Carey is gearing up for a major return to music with her first new album in nearly a decade. The Grammy-winning icon teased her return with the single 'Type Dangerous' last month, and followed it up earlier this month with 'Type Dangerous' remix EP featuring Busta Rhymes, Method Man, Redman, Big Sean, DJ Snake, and Luísa Sonza. This week, Carey announced the forthcoming release of her sixteenth album Here For It All, set for release in September. For her latest preview of the project, Carey has released the single 'Sugar Sweet,' a new collaboration with Kehlani and Shenseea that calls to mind Carey's classic mashups of R&B, pop, and hip-hop. Carey recruited R&B producer and frequent Justin Bieber collaborator Harv to bring 'Sugar Sweet' to life. 'Walk to the car and there you are / Can't explain the rush that I feel / Open up the door, you pull me towards you / Then you put your lips on me,' Carey sings on the track. 'Hate it when you have to leave / But I don't say a thing / 'Cause I will absolutely get the ring.' Getting to be able to work with Carey was a dream come true for Kehlani. 'The earliest video of me singing and first song I ever learned was 'Hero' and everybody who knows me knows this is one of my heroes,' Kehlani said of Carey on Instagram. 'This woman is the definition of an icon. To have given us so much for decades and never fail to impress us through all the twists and turns music makes. I am so honored and immensely grateful." At this point in her career, Carey has nothing to prove, and thus was in no rush to make a new album. Instead, she allowed it to come together naturally. 'I would make like four songs and then be like, 'We can start making an album now,' and then I would never do it,' she admitted on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night. 'And then I got up to like 10 songs and we were basically ready with an album.' Here For It All is out Sept. 26.

2 Ways The ‘Nonchalance Epidemic' Is Killing Love, By A Psychologist
Acting like you don't care might help you feel like you're saving face in the moment, but in the ... More end, it leaves you feeling lonelier than ever. Here's why the "nonchalance epidemic" needs to stop. Falling and staying in love can be messy. Relationships and dating can involve some degree of shyness and embarrassment, but people often go to great lengths to avoid these feelings. Many people resort to trying to look 'cool' and indifferent, as if love will find them without ever having to ask for it. In other words, they have stopped trying. This is part of the 'Nonchalance Epidemic,' a cultural moment where emotional detachment is seen as desirable, and showing you care feels 'cringe.' Often, people send texts without being too emotionally involved, leave others on 'read' and ghost them when things seem like 'too much effort.' Many singles are scared to seem too interested. But this chronic nonchalance, where no one wants to make the first move or admit they care, can quietly sabotage our chances at loving relationships. It's not as though relationship fears aren't valid. We can have a host of anxieties around relationships, such as not meeting our partners' and their families' expectations, subjugation fears such as losing independence, getting bored, sexual frustration or even feeling held back in life. But we can't overcome fear without making a move — without taking a few steps forward. Here are two ways the 'nonchalance epidemic' chips away at our chances of healthy relationships. 1. It Prioritizes Ego Over Emotional Connection Many people have perfected the craft of masking their loneliness. They stay aloof in a bid to seem cool and mysterious. They avoid eye contact and everyday interactions, lest they seem too forward or eager. Maybe you've been in this scenario, hesitating to strike up a conversation with someone at a bar or a party because the fear of being brushed off felt unbearable. What if you approach someone to ask them out, only to get dismissed, or worse, laughed at? However, constantly pretending that nothing affects you can backfire. It might push people away or even prevent you from meeting the right people. Over time, that emotional distance becomes all too real, and you might find yourself surrounded by people, yet feeling entirely alone. People hide real emotions and needs as a way to protect themselves. They worry that expressing their feelings might be seen as a sign of weakness, and that rejection would deal another blow to their self-esteem. For those with rejection sensitivity, this fear can feel especially paralyzing. Many people also hide their needs because they fear they won't be met. They yearn for emotional connection but struggle to seek it, so they put on a brave face instead. A 2024 study published in the Canadian Review of Sociology on friendlessness and isolation interviewed 21 people who identified as having few or no friends in an Atlantic Canadian city. They found that loneliness, when it becomes chronic, can do serious harm. Many talked about the emotional toll this took on them, with one participant in her twenties tearing up during her interview, describing the experience as 'a pervasive feeling of loneliness.' Another participant said he had stopped taking his prescriptions because he didn't see the point anymore. 'Well, I feel lonely all the time. Because, when I go out, I'm not going out to meet people, usually. I'm just going out to, you know, grocery shop. Trying and taking your prescriptions every day, I find it hard. I don't know how to explain it other than I don't have anyone, you know, to talk to or whatever, so why bother taking prescriptions?' Avoiding meaningful connections isn't limited to dating alone. When relationships start to feel out of reach or devoid of meaning, even basic self-care can become a struggle. Without purpose or connection, even survival feels challenging. Sociologist Erving Goffman's dramaturgical approach explains how we often perform and adjust our behavior depending on who we're with and how we want to be perceived. The 'nonchalant' persona is just another performance. We try to appear detached and unbothered, in a bid to increase our desirability. At some point, you have to choose between the risk of rejection and the certainty of loneliness. Indecision often fuels inaction. 2. It Keeps People From Owning Their Actions On the receiving end of nonchalance, you may have heard phrases like, 'It's not that deep,' or, 'You're overthinking this.' Maybe you've met people who dismiss anything they view as 'minor' and act like you're making a big deal out of nothing. Such individuals may act like you're overreacting, as though you're the one at fault for 'expecting more' from them. They may also avoid confrontation and respond vaguely when they need to clarify the intentions behind their actions. Their need to create emotional distance can keep them from taking responsibility and owning how they feel. Moreover, making excuses might get them out of a difficult conversation today, but in the long run, it erodes trust. And trust is the foundation of any meaningful relationship, romantic or platonic. People may start to think that they're insincere, dishonest and, eventually, stop trusting them. Forging connections is not a weakness, and dating shouldn't be a performance. We all have limited time on this planet, and spending it trying to appear stoic and unbothered only robs us of the deeper joy that comes from truly opening up — even if it hurts at times. Caring feels almost radical in a culture that rewards detachment. Going all in when people around you act like they're above it all might be your best shot at salvaging relationships and finding something real. Do you feel lonely, even around your partner?
