Kimmortal: Sad Femme Club

By Kerry Doole

Kimmortal -  Sad Femme Club (Coax Records): This Vancouver-based hip-hop artist is making major waves with her current album X Marks the Swirl, and she has just released a video (supported by TELUS) for one of its focus tracks.


A press release explains that "the video features the 2-dimensional pastel world of Kimmortal’s inner spaces - particularly the Structure that casts a shadow in their life. Transported to a colourful room of the Sad Femme Club, Kimmortal is trained to fight the powers and transform the space she is in with their new crew.

"The concept for the “Sad Femme Club” music video came directly from Kimmortal’s imaginative and complex personal dealings with oppressions and structures."

On the track, she spits her rhymes with real fire, while the lyrics hold nothing back. Samples: "I've got zero tolerance when they fuck with my sacred space" - "Toxic masculinity is killing all the poetry."

An artist to listen to and watch carefully.

On June 22, Kimmortal plays the Summer Solstice Party in the Park with DJ Shub in Cumberland, BC.

Obituaries: Synth-Pop Hitmaker Dave Ball of Soft Cell, Pioneering Bass Virtuoso Anthony Jackson

This week we also acknowledge the passing of American guitar maker Ken Parker.

Dave (David James) Ball, one half of the hitmaking Anglo synth-pop duo Soft Cell, died on Oct. 22, at age 66. A cause of death has not been announced.

The group’s singer, Marc Almond, called Ball a “wonderfully brilliant musical genius” in a lengthy tribute in which he praised his musical partner of 46 years. “He was focused and so happy with the new album that we literally completed only a few days ago. It’s so sad as 2026 was all set to be such an uplifting year for him, and I take some solace from the fact that he heard the finished record and felt that it was a great piece of work,” Almond wrote, adding that Ball’s recent compositions were “better than ever.”
