CIVL Station Manager Aaron Levy brings you a shuffle of previous FVMA nominees who are not nominated this year. Check fvma.CIVL.ca for the latest Fraser Valley Music Awards updates.
Hooper Turnt Sanger – “Quit Playin’ Games With My Heart”
Though I may have better friends (and stronger detractors) among the ranks of former winners of this 2019 champion’s category, this may be my favourite song from an FVMA hip hop applicant, and I don’t just mean because of the source material. Sanger gets his feels on here, and how.
In addition to other dessert-themed song titles in his repertoire, Mauvey uses this allusion to lots of money in the name of one of his high rotation CIVL playlist tunes. It was also one of the first spins to test out our new playlist tracker at spinitron.com. Check it out.
Blessed – “Movement”
Possibly the greatest piece of music ever recorded by a Fraser Valley Music Award nominee, and I don’t know how much hyperbole I actually use when I make that statement. It might truly be relatively accurate and measured in its gushing and contextualizing of a song I hope permeates further.
Jordan Klassen – “We Got Married”
The piece of music that I would have suggested take the crown of GOAT FVMA track before the release of the aforementioned and similarly, if more sarcastically, sanctifyingly, and titularly treated tune. This is an epic of lush, intricate, compositional wonder that will stand time.
