"Canadian Summer" is a song written and recorded by Canadian country music artist Dean Brody. It was released in June 2020 through Brody’s label, Scurvy Dog Music.[1]
Background
[edit | edit source]In an interview with Global News, Brody remarked that "It’s kind of a nostalgic song for me. I wrote it thinking that it would come out in the fall but I think during the summer is kind of cool, especially now with us having to be inside for so long with COVID. With being Canadians, we already have a long winter as it is. This song just celebrates what makes our summers unique. There’s a little bit of Canadiana thrown in there and I’m hoping people love it. We had a lot of fun recording it and bringing it to life".[2]
Critical reception
[edit | edit source]Courtney Fielder of Country100 Moose Jaw called the track a "fantastic tune",[3] while FYI Music News labelled the song a "slam dunk hit".[1]
