Favvkes – Black Dove
Now thatβs what I call promising. Favvkes (pronounced as βfoxβ) is an exciting, emerging Canadian artist and songwriter of the hard-hitting kind. If you like to pigeon-hole (and donβt we all?), think Garbage meets Paramore. In other words: β90s nostalgia meets 2020 attitude. And 2020 subjects as well, for on her upcoming debut album, she doesnβt shy away from sensitive topics like mental health. Her songs deliver strong messages on what it means to deal with social anxiety, depression, acceptance and inclusivity. Besides that, Favvkes (real name: Erica Schiopu) aims to become a strong advocate for the LBGTQ+ community.
Black Dove is only her first single. Favvkes explains: βI found inspiration for my debut single in my journey through life. Getting through all the hardships and using them as fuel for my success and growth as a person. Itβs about taking all that pain, and turning it into love, βcause what else are we going to do to survive?β
A very strong debut by an artist thatβs worth following!
