Perhaps Toronto, Canada isn’t the first music city you would think of, but you’d better think twice. This musical epicentre brought us Blood, Sweat & Tears, The Band, Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, Steppenwolf and Joni Mitchell before, and now, I’d like to introduce you to the Julian Taylor Band.

The last years they already spoiled us with fine tunes like Just A Little Bit and Set Me Free, and their new single Feel Your Love, from the band’s double album Desert Star, totally delivers the goods. It’s based on an easy-going, staccato groove, made for laidback summer nights.

The song is further enhanced by fellow Canadian Kinnie Starr, who adds her typical combination of spoken word and singing (which you can also hear on her own recent single We Are Sky). These are massive steps in her recovery from a brain injury. I wish her all the best!
