CIVL Station Manager Aaron Levy serves up a few of his favourite Fraser Valley Music Awards (FVMA) artists and more from the last year as he encourages you to apply at fvma.civl.ca before Oct. 18 for this year’s edition!
Mauvey – “The Bull”
Mauvey’s rhythmic, downtempo love song posits himself as the proverbial “bull” in the so-called “china shop” of one’s heart and mind. He performed this one during the Jam in Jubilee video stream last year.
Kid Filthy – “ME&MINE”
There are filthy beats and some relatively raunchy language on not only this, but a whole bevy of danceable, hummable, shareable tunes from Kid Filthy. He also played Jam in Jubilee’s one-off pop-up outdoor concert event in Mill Lake Park this past summer, and bills himself as Vancouver’s answer to Drake, nee Aubrey.
Summer Crush – “I Missed You”
The performance of this song by brand new Abbotsford-based punk trio Summer Crush in front of the wall of guitars presented at Long & McQuade’s makes clear that there is a new punk vibe in town, and it’s not to be “missed” in the future.
Glisha – “Staycation”
This song, go figure, was part of Glisha’s Jam in Jubilee video stream this summer, and maybe even resembles Estelle’s “American Boy” in it’s globetrotting locale call-outs from Tokyo, Taiwan, Sydney, and more. Extra marks for the well-utilized ad-libs that Glisha peppers into her verses throughout this catchy song.
