Aviv – Black Coffee

How’s the city? How’s the cold?
Checked the news and saw the falling snow
Guess warm days are meant to outgrow
How’s your brother? Making friends?
Does he know that we’ve come to an end?
Did you tell him that we’d talk again?

インフルエンザをこじらせながら渋谷をぶらついてたら偶然出くわした、カナダ、トロント発のインディーポップセンセーション＆若いベッドルーム、AVIV １７才。（SNS によくある「いいね」ってマレーシア語だと suka なんだって。）夕張メロン味のソフトクリームみたいにポップに見えるけど、実は根暗な女の子なのかもしれません。

AVIV combines nostalgia, remorse, and countless “what if…?” in a song that acts as an album of memories, a reminder to enjoy the moment and to find a possible way to reconcile. Especially at a time like this, when nothing is to be taken for granted and you need to show triple the affection to those you love. After all, why not dedicate a song like “Black Coffee” to someone?

AVIV – Blue Eyed Boy

“I’m just a teenager who acts much older, still gets excited about little things, and really loves to over- analyze her emotions and put them into music,” AVIV says. “I try to be true to myself with everything I do. The more AVIV the music is, the better.”

AVIV – Drowning in the Culture

Spent the night on the red eye
Try to overcome the homesick on the ride
Mistaken for 25
But that’s alright
I guess
Oh but lately I
Feel like the day just pass me by
Drowning in my own hope
All alone but the rooms full

Where is the little girl I knew
None of your dreams ever came true
What a shame
What a shame

Cuz now I’m on the fence
My body tense
Nothing makе sense
I’m seeking guidance
I’m drowning in thе culture

カナダ、トロントの DIY シンガーソングライター、の AVIV は (どうやら) ざんねんな１７歳ですが、彼女の悩みおおき DIY ポップを少しばかり聴いただけで、彼女の年齢をはるかに超えた才能とニュアンスがわかります。
