Five Minutes With: Indie Rock Musician Loviet

Loviet (pronounced low-vee-it) is a powerhouse of 90’s-tinged indie-rock, alternative-pop, making a name for herself supporting critically acclaimed artists like The Beaches, Giant Rooks and Jesse Jo Stark, and performing at festivals including Lollapalooza, Summerfest and Ottawa Bluesfest. Praised for her “signature, shimmery hooks with emotionally honest lyrics” (Notion) and “addictive, retro pop-rock…” (CBC), Loviet, nee Natalie Lynn, has spent the last 5 years in Toronto honing her craft, touring throughout Canada, the UK and the US while growing her fanbase and catalogue independently. Backed by her longtime drummer Ryan Perry, Loviet’s performances are larger than life, “delivering a show that is fit for an arena” (Megan LaPierre, Exclaim! Magazine).

Her EP The Nighttime Is All In The Timing, produced by American indie-rock band Now, Now, was the winner of Music Nova Scotia’s Rock Recording of the Year 2024. This five-track offering is sonically expansive and emotionally charged, described by Loviet as “…lots of guitars, energy, power, and mess”. From the unabating urgency of her boldly breathtaking anthem “Broken Lips” to the unapologetic roar of “Star Treatment”, The Nighttime Is All In The Timing finds Loviet soundtracking moments of reckoning and raw reflection through catchy and cathartic upheavals that “hit hard and leave a lasting mark” (Mitch Mosk, Atwood Magazine).

With a brand new record in the works, Loviet is further bridging the gap between her praised energetic live shows and recorded catalogue, featuring a more rock-driven, unblushing portrayal of the artist than ever before.
