Songs of the Week: September 19 - 25, 2022
“Honey Bun” by Haviah Mighty
Haviah has been flying high the last few years, with accolades, awards, and touring extensively.
She’s back with a new single “Honey Bun”, which revolves around themes of “self-validation, personal integrity and the growth that comes from ending toxic patterns and co-dependent relationships”.
It’s definitely a banger of a song (I’d expect nothing less from her!) and the end of the press release said “Stay tuned for more from Haviah Mighty this fall” - which hopefully means, even more music from this runaway success story.

“Addicted To Strangers” by Evan Konrad
Evan Konrad’s long awaited album Denial is finally being released after the first two singles were released in 2019.
”Addicted To Strangers” is the latest single off of an album where each song, according to Konrad, “takes the listener through the shadows of modern human experience and brings them to light. It's a sonic journey made with the intention to encourage us through the healing and releasing of grief from personal and global consciousness."

“Everyday Sunflower” by Jason Collett
Last week we got our second song off the upcoming Jason Collett album, Head Full of Wonder, with a breezy song called “Everyday Sunflower”.
Much like the first single off the album was inspired by a famed Bertolt Brecht epigram, “Everyday Sunflower” was partially inspired by Allen Ginsberg’s poem ‘Sunflower Sutra’. Collet says the song is “a simple reflection on everyday beauty and perhaps the best example of trying to say more with less on the record. Short and sweet.”

“Crazy Story” by Combine the Victorious
Vancouver duo Combine The Victorious is back with another single.
”Crazy Story” is a sultry duet between Isabelle’s vocals and Mark’s piano, with a funky bass line to boot.
The song reflects on love being stronger than the things life throws at you. Perfect messages for a mellow Monday morning.
