Canada’s Country

Though Nashville remains the cradle of country, Canada has a pretty long history with it too, taking the styles and sounds of its Southern neighbours and applying its own rustic, regional spin. Honky-tonk, outlaw ballads, beat-driven pop crossovers—these songs represent a cross-section of Canada’s best modern country. This week, hockey player turned singer-songwriter Mark Ledlin drops the new single “Moved On to Movin’ On”, a clever and heartfelt tune about struggling to get over a tough heartbreak. “We sometimes forget, as people, that in order to get past a feeling, you have to overcome it first,” he tells Apple Music. Ledlin released another new song, “Sober Side of Crazy”, alongside “Moved On to Movin’ On”, and he hints that fans can expect more new music in 2026.
