Since we didn’t have a separate post for voting, I edited the title of this post. Please vote in this thread. Later tonight, I will submit the song with the most upvotes.
I’d like to invite you to participate in Lemmyvision, a Eurovision-like Song Contest for Lemmy communities around the world ! I’d love for people across Lemmy to participate, and I hope it will bring people together through our diverse taste of music, so join us if you’d like to discover new music and culture from around the world!
Important Dates
We have until April 1st to pick a song.
I could post a locked voting thread for c/Canada, one week from the deadline, with all the submissions
Global voting will happen from April 1st to April 8th, so check in again then
Song Submissions
Songs should be Canadian (rules aren’t strict)
Songs should be released between Jan 01 2023 and Dec 31 2023
We can either submit one song, or 1 each for English and French (source). The organizer is not strict on the rules, so I’m also good with any reasonable submissions
To encourage discussion, please suggest a song, even if you already like one of the songs that were submitted. Maybe you’ll learn about some cool local artists 🍁
Vancouver-based R&B singer, NIKKAELA, emerged onto the music scene with her unique sound and heartfelt lyrics. She is a muse in the development of Vancouver’s thriving arts culture.

My immediate thought was “Hotter Now” by Lu Kala. It’s a bop.

Wait, are we picking a song or making one?
Picking one :)
Ah, well that’s much easier. I’m not much of a composer myself but I could have helped produce.
Here’s my suggestions:
dance pop: Virginia to Vegas - Casamigos
indie rock: Good Kid - From the Start
Edit: Are covers allowed? Didn’t realize the Good Kid song was one haha
