Starbucks Canada perks up your morning with more than coffee!

Even before your first cup of coffee, Starbucks Canada has brewed a fresh new way to start your day. To help Canadians rise and shine and start the day in a positive frame of mind, the company tapped the expertise of several scientists* and music** experts to produce a new ‘MorningYes’ alarm.

Starbucks has a long history of sharing and curating tunes that excite customers, and they know a thing or two about music and its power to shape an experience. They used this knowledge and the intel of our experts to create a replacement to the typical ‘alarming’ alarm clock sound.

Here’s what listeners can expect from the MorningYes alarm and how its elements work together to shift your frame of mind:

The track starts with a gentle intro that gradually builds to gently transition the brain from a sleep state to an awake state
Positive lyrics and upbeat tempos promote, what scientists say, is the release of feel-good dopamine – thought to bolster a great outlook as you start your day
Featuring a relaxed sound, it’s designed as an optimal alternative to arguably one of the most stress-inducing moments of the morning – the alarm
Bonus: it was developed in Canada by a top audio house led by composer Tyson Kuteyi (who mixed for Lady Gaga and Kardinal Offishall), so really, how can you go wrong?!
