“College Dropout” by City Fidelia // If you were walking Rideau Street last weekend, there’s a chance you would have come across City Fidelia’s pop-up screening for his new music video, “College Dropout”. He was included in the Top 10 Ottawa Rappers list by Shifter Magazine and named ”Hip-Hop artist of the Year” by Faces Magazine. This is the indie pop singer’s fifth track added to our #ottmusic weekly playlist since he came on our radar with “Mon Monde”-and he’s appeared in the playlist as Capé, a moniker he used to go by before introducing Mazyn to the world. “Wanna” by Mazyn // There’s still time to close the gap, however as of this summer, no Ottawa artist has been as prolific as Mazyn putting out new songs this year. Apparently, you can phone a 1-800 number (1-866-4-TOWNES) to hear an exclusive preview. “They would show ads for Everest College where some random dude was yelling at me to get off the couch and do something with my life! So the song is written from the perspective of someone Everest College is yelling at.” A new Townes music video for “Maury Povich” is forthcoming this week. “Maury Povich” by Townes // “I’d watch Maury’s show in the morning as a 13-year-old,” says Townes in an interview with Apt613. We’ll look for the opportunity to share a little bit of the behind-the-scenes that goes on at the studio… Stay tuned to #ottmusic weekly on Spotify and follow the blog for more new interviews. In future weeks, we’ll question local musicians about their latest releases and ask what inspired them to make these fresh sounds. This week, we check in with indie rock songwriter Townes aka Matt Radich. This just in- #ottmusic weekly is expanding on Apt613.ca with new series of artist interviews. Updated weekly by apt613.ca music writers.
