About

We all have those artists and songs we hear that strike the right chord and make us fall in love at first listen. They’re the reason we refresh social media pages, tour schedules, and Spotify profiles—because we can’t miss a single release. This is Love at First Listen—a blog introducing you to the emerging, and established, artists with new music guaranteed to upgrade your playlist.

Based in Toronto, ON and originally published as a series on angelamclean.ca, our coverage, much like music, is limitless and without bounds. Discover local and global artists, small-town and international festivals, and music headlines buzzing through communities near and far.

Visit our Contact page to submit artists, music, and shows for consideration. And however you found us, keep on loving at first listen.
