Though Nashville remains the cradle of country, Canada has a pretty long history with it too, taking the styles and sounds of its Southern neighbors 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, Cameron Whitcomb drops the highly anticipated “Fragile,” a tune the Nanaimo, B.C., singer-songwriter recently teased on social media. The emotional song frankly explores the experience of addiction, as Whitcomb sings soulfully of being the kid “with holes in his shoes, who stole from his family to feed his abuse” before asking a potential love interest if she could accept his fragility. “Fragile” is the latest in a string of songs Whitcomb has released in recent months, including May’s “Gasoline & Matches.” Listen to it now and add Canada’s Country to your library to stay up on the songs shaping the future of country music.
