Award winning musical brothers The Abrams are back in a big way this summer with their latest single, “Something New”!
Fresh off their recent Duo/Group of the Year win at the 2022 CMAOntario Awards, the track is their first taste of new music in nearly three years. And it was worth the wait.

An energetic, bluegrass infused bop which I’m labelling one of the most romantic songs of the summer, “Something New” tells the story of a relationship that never gets old, and always stays fresh and exciting.
“Something New is all about that feeling you get when you think you know everything about someone you love, yet they keep surprising you everyday” says The Abrams.
“The best relationships grow and feel fresh at every turn, even after many years.”
Starting with the driving strum of an acoustic guitar, the song sets up a story of familiarity. “I know you like cinnamon in your coffee … and your clothes hung a certain way” it begins, giving you a sense of comfort and reliability.
The rousing chorus flips the script, stating “just when I thought I had you figured out, as if I didn’t have enough to love about you, girl, there you go blowing my mind … I learn something new everyday”.
The bridge really hits the point of the song home, with the lyrics “Every day I wake up in a brand new kind of heaven”. Who doesn’t want that?
It will be hard to keep the smile off your face as you listen to the track, and if you’re lucky enough to be in a relationship, you can instantly relate. Even if you’re not, you can’t help but get caught up in the romanticism of the story.

Scott has been a lover of music his whole life, but being born and raised in small town Ontario helped solidify his love of Country music specifically. Drawn to the musicality and storytelling of Country Music, one of his passions is spreading the word about all the great talent Canada has to offer in this genre. Scott has an extending performing career, having acted in many theatre productions, sketch comedy, music videos and TV, and has hosted multiple global corporation seminars and awards ceremonies. While he is a classically trained pianist, he leaves music to the professionals, and basks in all their musical glory! A day without music is a waste of day, he believes, and can usually be found cranking some of his favourite Canadian artists like James Barker Band, Madeline Merlo, and Brett Kissel, and artists like Kip Moore and Ashley McBryde from south of the border on a daily basis.
