Toronto-based singer/songwriter Domanique Grant’s new EP, Playhouse, features six songs, each with its very own character.

Playhouse’s first song and single, “Investment,” impresses with its blend of strong pop beats with some indie melody. This song could make audiences sway (and so could its video).

But if the first song is strong and bold, the next two songs are the total opposite—they are extremely soft, calm, and beautiful. Personally, they are my favourites, and I love to turn them on after a long day at work or school; it’s nice to simply listen to them while chilling on my couch.

The songs on the rest of the EP are no longer just songs; they are Grant’s diary, her stories, and her personal perspectives about different angles of life.
