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, superstar EDM artist Diplo collaborates with singer-songwriter Cameron Whitcomb on “Would U Still Love Me”, half of a just-released two-song EP called Whitcomb vs. Flores which also features a collaboration with Wyatt Flores. The pair find common ground on the anthemic track, with Whitcomb’s penchant for a larger-than-life chorus pairing well with Diplo’s dance-pop maximalism. The track recalls some of Diplo’s earlier forays into country and roots music, like 2020’s collaborative album Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley, Chapter 1: Snake Oil, which features songs with artists like Orville Peck and Thomas Rhett. Listen to it now and add Canada’s Country to your library to stay up on the songs shaping the future of country music.
