Swedish melodic death metal with the incomparable Floor Jansen joining in.

"Grunge" is the perfect description of the stove as well as the music.

Doc, odds are people said that about 60's, 70's and 80's music as well.

Simone is another favourite. And, of course, her friend and occasional partner-in-music Floor Jansen.

Moroccan-born Canadian pop singer Faouzia backs a wonderful alto voice and also plays a pretty mean piano. I discovered her near the start of her career when she guested with the Canadian band Whitehorse in a Canada Day concert. I've kind of drifted away from her recent work, which leaned a bit hard into dance pop, but her new release intrigued me. A pop ballad based around Beethoven's Fur Elise.



Early in her career, Faouzia often released wonderful acoustic versions of her songs. She even did a livestream concert of the "Stripped" (as she calls them) versions during the pandemic. This remains one of my favourite Faouzia songs.

For comparison, the official release version of You Don't Even Know Me.

Rune - Lil'

For those unaware, I'm addicted to Rune Factory, and am basically just binging the franchise's opening songs right now. Rune is the first game's opening. I'm listening to the original, so it's in Japanese.

The band is new to me and I will look into them more but the presence of Lzzy Hale got my attention right away. Great song, too.

For laughs.
