The 2019 Prism Prize for Best Canadian Music Video was awarded to Kevan Funk, for his clip for Belle Game’s Low. We will continue to profile noteworthy Canadian videos, including this one from a Toronto post-punk combo with a notable guest.


Absolutely Free ft. U.S. Girls - Currency

 

The band Absolutely Free brings a psychedelic, ‘80s-infused music video to their track Currency while collaborating with U.S. Girls (aka Meg Remy).

In an interview, the band said, “Currency is a nervy post-punk shuffle that gradually blossoms into a dense cosmic house track featuring Meg Remy of U.S. Girls on lead vocals. The lyrics contemplate how social frameworks like gender performance are built, and finds Absolutely Free reckoning with privilege and how to best use their social capital.”

Currency is filled with ambient synths and nifty beats to create a disco hit that sets the tone for the avant-garde video.

Hilary Duff Talks Comeback Album, Olsen Twins Obsession, Performs Sultry ‘Roommates’ on ‘Tonight Show’

The singer also talked about her nerves ahead of her first arena tour in 20 years on Monday night's (March 9) show.

Hilary Duff fully expects to be hit with Lizzie McGuire questions whenever she’s in public, and Monday night’s (March 9) visit to The Tonight Show was no different. After host Jimmy Fallon gushed about loving the early aughts Disney Channel smash that made Duff a star, he asked her which young performer she was obsessed with as a kid.

“The Olsen Twins,” she said without hesitation, reeling off Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen classics such as their 1992 debut album, Brother For Sale. “When they were twin sister spies? I had it on video guys, my VHS! And I was obsessed with the Olsen Twins,” Duff recalled. She then dropped more names than a phone book, recalling attending Aaron Carter’s birthday party — before they dated — and meeting both of the Olsens. “‘I have arrived. I’ve made it, both of the Olsen twins are here,'” she recalled thinking at the time.
