We talk a lot about the Polaris Music Prize on here. Mostly because it does honour really great Canadian music. Hell, I could do a Polaris month at this point.
Until last year, it honored albums only. Last year, they partnered with SOCAN and gave out a song award as well. This was the winner, and given what was going on in the world last year that I hope as of the time this blog post is published (I'm literally writing it the day after the win) is resolved because it's awful, it makes an awful lot of sense.
This song was a big single from Mustafa (the Poet)'s album DUNYA, which was also shortlisted for last year's album prize. It was good, and heartfelt, and a very pretty album, and this is a beautiful, emotional song.
