The Beaches – Last Girls At The Party
The Beaches are a quartet of Canadian power women. Named after the neighbourhood they grew up in, the band comprises lead vocalist/bassist Jordan Miller, guitarist Kylie Miller, keyboardist/guitarist Leandra Earl, and drummer Eliza Enman-McDaniel. Best-known for their hit Blame Brett, Billboard Canada’s ‘Breakthrough Artist of the Year 2023’ have featured here regularly. And by the sound of it, they aren’t likely to leave these columns any time soon.
The alt-rock queens just announced their highly anticipated third studio album, No Hard Feelings. It will be released on 29 August 29, but fans don’t have to wait that long to get a taste. Following Takes One To Know One and Jocelyn, the triumphant third single off the long-player is out now.
Last Girls At The Party is an exuberant, hedonistic anthem about reveling all night. “We’re four crazy girls who like to have fun together, and are literally always the last to leave”, frontperson Jordan Miller says about the tune. The infectious new single is classic The Beaches; bold, fun, catchy and undeniably anthemic. A high energy sing-along song that’s bound to bring out the sun.
Last Girls At The Party by The Beaches is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.

Wildcard (week 29):
The Beaches – Takes One To Know One
The Beaches are a quartet of Canadian power women. Named after the neighbourhood they grew up in, the band comprises lead vocalist/bassist Jordan Miller, guitarist Kylie Miller, keyboardist/guitarist Leandra Earl, and drummer Eliza Enman-McDaniel. Best-known for their hit Blame Brett, Billboard Canada’s ‘Breakthrough Artist of the Year 2023’ have featured here regularly. And by the sound of it, they aren’t likely to leave these columns any time soon.
Earlier this year, The Beaches won the JUNO Award for ‘Group of the Year’ and ‘Rock Album of the Year’. Now, they’re back with the promising first taste of their next chapter. Takes One To Know One proves that there are more hits where Blame Brett came from. Ever from the surf-like opening chords, the tune sticks itself inside your head, with no intention to leave it. Don’t blame Brett, but blame the catchy sing-along melody for that.
Speaking to Paper Magazine, Miller says about the track: “I wrote Takes One To Know One about my new relationship with yet another complicated person. In Blame Brett I said that ‘I wasn’t ready to take accountability’. In this new song I’m finally holding a mirror up to myself and am beginning to see that perhaps I also contribute to the flaws in my relationship, because I’m also a complicated and flawed human.”
The take-away of the song is, that it’s okay to be messy and imperfect. “Those are the things that make us unique,” Miller adds. “One of the steps to being a happy person is embracing those flaws. And one of the ways to have a happier relationship, is embracing and loving the flaws of your partner.”
Takes One To Know One by The Beaches is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. This implies that it will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.

Wildcard (week 17):
renforshort – Feeling Good
Home to artists like The Beaches, Tegan & Sara, Altered By Mom and Päter, Canada is one of my favourite continents, music-wise. ren (the musical alter ego of Lauren Isenberg) is from Canada as well. The Toronto-born singer-songwriter debuted with her single Waves in 2019. A year later, she changed her stage name to renforshort. Since then, she collaborated with numerous other artists, beside releasing her own music. Currently, her catalogue holds one full album and four EPs.
EP #5, A Girl’s Experience, is slated for release on 6 June. Three tracks have already been released so far. On My Way! and Pretend To Like Me are now followed by Feeling Good. The bold new single overflows with energy and attitude. Combining renforshort’s signature alt-pop flavours with a 90s pop throwback and a touch of psychedelic-tinged production, it pushes her evolving sound to new heights. The song gradually intensifies, culminating in a cathartic release, with renforshort delivering punchy, vibrant vocals. A contender for the feel-good song of the year!
Just ahead of her 23rd birthday, Feeling Good by renforshort is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.
