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.

Music News Digest: CRTC Aims To Fill a Gap for Indigenous Radio in Toronto and Ottawa

The CRTC recently launched a call for applications for FM radio stations to serve Indigenous communities in Toronto and Ottawa. Broadcast Dialogue reports "the call follows the demise of First Peoples Radio’s ELMNT FM stations, which went off the air on Sept. 1 last year. Launched in the fall of 2018, the stations had a goal to 'fill the gap' for urban Indigenous listeners under-represented in the radio landscape. They carried an 'Indigenous-variety' format, featuring both English and Indigenous-language spoken-word and musical programming, with 25% of the playlist dedicated to Indigenous talent.

In its call, the commission says in its view, "there is a need and a demand for radio stations to serve the needs and interests of those communities."
