Yves Jarvis, aka Jean-S\u00e9bastien Yves Audet, is no longer simply a recording artist: now, he says, he\u2019s a songwriter. These 16 tracks of brazen songcraft and pure musicianship are things he played himself, without a single additional contributor (\u201cNot even one!\u201d), and see the 4X-Polaris-nominated artist turn with pleasure to the stuff of verses, choruses, hooks and hits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI basically only listened to Frank Sinatra for a year,\u201d Jarvis says. He wanted Sinatra\u2019s \u201cclarity\u201d \u2014 \u00ab\u00a0the way the songs exist without him, as real things.\u201d Whereas the 28-year-old previously approached music as something <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sculptural<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, \u201cthis time I just made a ton of songs,\u201d working with an old laptop and bare-bones software, \u201cno pretense.\u201d \u201cInstead of making a world, I thought: \u2018I\u2019m a band. The drums are there to keep the beat.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As always, Yves Jarvis is distinguished by his sound \u2014 a warm, vivid thing that feels at once like a handknit piece of fabric and a sheet of precious metal. He is dedicated to a music that condenses folk, R&amp;B, country, blues, Americana\u2014with a touch that\u2019s contemporary, even futuristic, and smashes together a stunning array of influences, from Serge Gainsbourg and Judee Sill to Ray Charles, Brian Eno and Throbbing Gristle. Tunes like \u201cSilver KG\u201d and the title track are iridescent road songs; at other moments Jarvis meditates on truth, fiction and the utterly cosmic. Throughout, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All Cylinders <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">seems to shimmer in a middle space, part-real and part-celestial.

Exploring his upbringing and trajectory onward, these songs are equally disarming in their simplicity and multilayered in their emotional breadth. Featuring appearances from collaborators such as Aaron Dessner, Rosali\u0301a, Clairo, Nicolas Jaar, and more, alongside Mustafa\u2019s longtime creative partner Simon Hessmann, the music reveals a confident, distinctive voice that\u2019s never sounded more poised for the masses. Even when it sounds like he\u2019s taking on the world, Mustafa is speaking only for himself: a story that he knows is just getting started. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mustafathepoet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@mustafathepoet<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-77265\" src=\"https:\/\/polarismusicprize.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Haviah-OK-BTS.-Photo-By-Flee-Normality-Connor-Tadao-BTS-2-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/polarismusicprize.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Haviah-OK-BTS.-Photo-By-Flee-Normality-Connor-Tadao-BTS-2-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/polarismusicprize.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Haviah-OK-BTS.-Photo-By-Flee-Normality-Connor-Tadao-BTS-2-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/polarismusicprize.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Haviah-OK-BTS.-Photo-By-Flee-Normality-Connor-Tadao-BTS-2-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/polarismusicprize.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Haviah-OK-BTS.-Photo-By-Flee-Normality-Connor-Tadao-BTS-2-1639x2048.jpg 1639w, https:\/\/polarismusicprize.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Haviah-OK-BTS.-Photo-By-Flee-Normality-Connor-Tadao-BTS-2-scaled.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/div>\n<div><strong>Haviah Mighty &#8211; Host<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Haviah Mighty didn\u2019t need to change her birth name when she decided to dedicate her career to music. Mighty could not better describe Haviah\u2019s craft of provocative challenges and uncompromising truths.<\/p>\n<p>Based out of Brampton via Toronto, Haviah has spent a lifetime developing her skills as a songwriter, vocalist, producer, and performer, culminating in a style of profound introspection and incisive socio-political critique. Her dynamic combinations of rap, song, and instrumental transition seamlessly from hip-hop to soul to afrobeats with a meticulous flow and cadence that transcends any traditional expectation of genre.<\/p>\n<p>2019 saw Haviah earn break-out success with her album, 13th Floor, making her the first hip-hop artist and the first\u00a0Black woman to win the\u00a0Polaris Music Prize, celebrating the \u201cBest Canadian Album of the Year\u201d &#8211; but Mighty didn\u2019t\u00a0stop there. With her\u00a0JUNO Award-winning mixtape, Stock Exchange (Nov. 2021), Haviah made history once again as the first woman to ever win within the Rap Album of the Year category.\u00a0Most recently, Haviah was the only Canadian nominee at the\u00a02022 BET Hip-Hop Awards\u00a0within the &lsquo;Best International Flow&rsquo; category. Recognition has spread\u00a0internationally, garnering praise from the likes of Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, GRM Daily, FADER, Hot New Hip Hop,\u00a0and so many more.\u00a0In November of 2023 Haviah was featured on the viral song\u00a0Trendsetter\u00a0by\u00a0Connor Price.\u00a0 The song to date has amassed more than 36 million streams world wide.\u00a0 In May of 2024 Haviah embarked on a European tour, with a couple dates in the Uk, Denmark, Ireland, Germany and Prague supporting\u00a0Shabazz Palaces. In August of 2024 Haviah&rsquo;s single\u00a0Double the Fun single\/video\u00a0was released to Global Support by Spotify.\u00a0 Haviah made more noise by hosting and performing in the first ever first ever\u00a0Billboard Canada Women in Music in September of 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Mighty pushes forward continuing to carve out spaces that boldly defy gendered expectations for women in hiphop.
