Following a series of mixtapes and EPs over previous years, Debby Friday made a formal full length statement of purpose with 2023’s GOOD LUCK, a mix of industrial stomp with hip-hop and r&b flow that ended up winning Canada’s Polaris Prize for that year. Little surprise given the distinct talent and charisma Friday brings to proceedings: from the slow grind of the opening title track on, she feels like a sharp-eyed observer bending conventions to her own purposes. Songs like “What Man,” “Safe” and “So Hard To Tell” burn with a compelling energy beat for beat.
