The 2022 Prism Prize for Best Canadian Music Video was recently awarded to Mustafa, for his clip for his own track, Ali. We will continue to profile noteworthy Canadian videos that were eligible for the 2022 prize, including this one from a Toronto pop/R&B artist.


Alex Porat - Dimension

Alex Porat is a Toronto-based pop/R &B singer. Her most recent single, Sensitive, came out in May 2022 and her first album, Miss Sick World, was released in 2021. 

The music video for Dimension, directed by Iris Kim and released in 2021, is a disco pop dream. The video is all about wanting someone you can’t have but hoping that maybe in another world you are with that person. The video starts off with Alex dancing in a darkly lit red-hued room. The camera is spinning around giving a topsy-turvy effect that is synced up to the music in the background of the melody. The second setting in this video is a brightly lit blue-hued scene with clouds - it is the total opposite of the darker lit setting which plays with the ‘being in another dimension’ aspect of the song.

Throughout the video, Alex’s dance movements work seamlessly with the melody and the various camera angles. The same dance movement continued perfectly from the red-hued scenes to the blue-hued scenes. It is a testament to not only the direction of the video but the amazing editing. Overall, this video is eye-catching and you simply can’t look away. 

You can listen to Alex Porat on various audio streaming sites.

Val Blavatnik to Oversee Warner Music Canada in New Role at Warner Music Group

Blavatnik will oversee Warner Music Canada as managing director of Warner Music North America, U.K. and Corporate Development at WMG. As part of a slew of executive announcements, Simon Robson will be leaving the company, while Alejandro Duque takes the top international role.

Val Blavatnik, the 28-year-old son of Warner Music Group majority owner and vice chairman Len Blavatnik, has been named managing director of Warner Music North America, U.K. and Corporate Development at the Warner Music Group, the company announced Friday (Sept. 25). In his new role the younger Blavatnik, who has held several roles at the company in recent years, and has been a board member since 2023, expects to “unify and drive business and operational strategy across these markets while guiding the company’s investment strategy to support growth,” according to a press release.

The Blavatnik announcement is part of a flurry of new executive announcements that CEO Robert Kyncl made this morning. In addition, Atlantic Music Group chairman/CEO Elliot Grainge will take on ADA in the U.S. as its new chairman, while Alejandro Duque, who has held the dual roles of president of Warner Latin and president of ADA since last July, has been named president of Warner Music International, adding Asia-Pacific and Europe, the Middle East and Africa under his oversight. (Duque will continue to oversee ADA outside the U.S.) Zach Friedman, currently COO at Atlantic Music Group, will add the title of vice chair of ADA U.S. to his resume.
