Gold Winner Rose Cousins
Silver Winner Kim Harris
Bronze Winner Quiet Parade
“Maybe you can feel all the feelings in the songs when it’s quieter, you can feel them to the fullest—my songs have a lot of feelings,” Cousins muses about her second-year-in-a-row gold win for Best Artist To Enjoy Quietly. She’s “avoiding packing for England” when she answers the call, saying this past year has been full of writing songs and laying groundwork in the UK market. “I’m enjoying the lull that happens after releasing a record, and hunting and gathering new things.” Though her year has been as quietly serene as one of her songs, Cousins adds she’s honoured to be on steady rotation in many Haligonians’ playlists, adding “I’m thankful that I’m even still on people’s minds. Thanks for leaning in.”
