Music critics likened Friday’s Good Luck album to artists as diverse as Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Run the Jewels and Beyoncé
The debut full-length release from the Nigerian-born Canadian was selected on Tuesday for the $50,000 prize by an 11-member grand jury. They named it the best Canadian album of the year based on its artistic merit.
The Polaris Music Prize is considered one of the country’s most prestigious music awards with previous winners who include Haviah Mighty, Jeremy Dutcher and Kaytranada. Music critics likened the album to artists as diverse as industrial metal band Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, rappers Run the Jewels and Beyoncé.
Oji-Cree alternative soul musician Aysanabee played guitar beside a painting of his grandfather made by Toronto artist Montina Hussey. The work doubled as the album cover of “Watin,” which was inspired by daily phone conversations with his elder during the pandemic.
