New & Upcoming Canadian Album Releases: Drake & PartyNextDoor Team Up, Alessia Cara Returns with 'Love & Hyperbole'

It's Valentine's Day, this week, and there are plenty of new albums to romance your ears. The biggest is definitely the new album from Drake & PartyNextDoor, first teased at a concert in Toronto last summer and now released during renewed chatter over Drake's beef with Kendrick Lamar after the rival rapper's Super Bowl performance.

This week, Neil Young releases a gem from the vaults, the "lost" album Oceanside Countryside. Peter Dreams (from July Talk) and acclaimed duo MOONRIIVR team up for a self-titled album on Six Shooter records, pop princess Alessia Cara releases Love & Hyperbole, Montreal R&B prospect Fernie has the new EP Hopeless Dreams, and Juno-nominated Toronto jazz singer Denielle Bassels, glam rocker Art d'Ecco and Indian fusion artist Raj Ramayya all have new projects.

All of these albums have been added to our ongoing calendar of new Canadian albums, which you can find in full below.

Notable acts recently announcing upcoming album release dates include indie rock heroes Born Ruffians (their ninth full-length), Stars vocalist Amy Millan (her first solo album in 15 years), veteran singer-songwriter Blair Packham and rock duo Cleopatrick.
