Today’s Country

This playlist tracks what’s happening from the heart of the country scene to its outer edges. Find fan favourites you already love next to breakout stars and emerging voices. Topping the list this week is Hailey Whitters with “Remember to Forget,” the final “Found” song of Season 2 of Apple Music’s Lost & Found. Originally written by Dustin Christensen and Stephanie Lambring, “Remember to Forget” is a slow-burning, nuanced story of yearning for a lost love, with lush production from Jake Gear (Meels, Flatland Cavalry) adding a touch of tasteful drama. Whitters uses her natural dynamism as a vocalist to follow the highs and lows of the emotional through line, reminding listeners that the kitschy “Corn Queen” knows her way around a ballad, too.
