Night Lovell (@nightlovell) - "Sick & Tired" (Video)


Ottawa rapper and producer Night Lovell unveils a hard-hitting new single “Sick & Tired,” from his forthcoming album, My Blood As The Ink, out August 28 via G59 Records.

Over signature dark, atmospheric production, “Sick & Tired” finds Lovell pushing back against one-sided relationships and the people who demand his time, access and support without giving anything in return. The song arrives alongside a press conference-style music video with Lovell delivering the message directly and unapologetically. Listen / Watch.

It follows the album’s lead single “Run” which explores distrust, ambition and the pursuit of success amid chaos, with both songs underscoring his gift for crafting emotionally charged dark hip-hop. In the “Run” music video, directed by Gab Bois and Thomas Pilgrim, Lovell attempts to escape the terrors relentlessly following him. Listen / Watch.

My Blood As The Ink explores themes of identity, perception and the tension between public persona and personal truth with Lovell diving deeper into the psychological spaces woven throughout his catalog. He describes the project as “Night Lovell playing into all the bad things people make him out to be…essentially he’s cosplaying as Shermar Paul in a world where he is fed by the lies about himself and decides to be exactly that.” 

He has been teasing the album release with a series of cryptic visuals across Instagram, creatively capturing the album’s overarching themes and giving fans a glimpse into the story behind the project. The album marks Lovell’s first new music since his 2023 album I Hope You're Happy

Lovell currently has over 1 billion streams and 2.7 million monthly Spotify listeners, backed by Gold-certified hits including “Dark Light” and “HOT DEMON B!TCHES NEAR U !!!!,” alongside fan favorites such as “Joan of Arc,” “Still Cold / Pathway Private,” and “Lethal Presence.” He’s earned critical acclaim from Complex, The FADER, HYPEBEAST, HotNewHipHop and XXL with collaborations from $uicideboy$, Corpse and $NOT.

About Night Lovell:

Night Lovell is known for his deep vocal tone and eerie, atmospheric production, blending darkness and artistry into a distinctive sonic identity. Emerging from Ottawa, he was influenced early by local musicians, including his father—whose middle name, Lovell, inspired his stage name. The “Night” reflects his affinity for late nights spent creating music.

Although he grew up surrounded by music and played drums, his artistic journey began at 17 when he started making beats before shifting toward rapping over his own production. As he developed, he realized he wanted to move beyond production and step on the stage, connecting more directly with audiences. This evolution led to his debut project Concept Vague, which featured the Gold-certified single “Dark Light.”

Since then, Night Lovell has established himself as a leading voice in underground hip-hop, surpassing a billion streams and touring internationally. His music bridges rap, alternative and cinematic soundscapes, defined by haunting production, commanding vocals and introspective lyricism. With My Blood As The Ink, Night Lovell enters a new chapter defined by artistic growth, emotional depth and fearless self-expression.

I enjoyed expressing myself and transforming the space into something new for each song. I can’t wait for fans to experience it in this new and unique way," says Becky G. “2AM” begins with Becky G’s silhouette peeking through a foliage-covered rod iron gate. She enters into a peach-colored room draped with white curtains to sit on a vintage dark wood paneled dresser. Becky serenades listeners in her retreat away from any hustle and bustle as the camera pans around her before fading to black. Introducing various textures and elements from the wider space, the performance leaves viewers hungry to see what’s beyond the walls of Becky’s room. Becky G and Vevo previously worked together for a Vevo Footnotes video where she exclusively provides commentary break downs of the creation, lyrics, and meanings of some of her major hits including "BailĂ© Con Mi Ex.” “We’re excited to have worked with Becky G, a trailblazing artist that not only brought so much passion to our shoot, but seamlessly blends genres and culture to empower her community and transform Latin music. Intimate and vulnerable, her performance makes you feel like a guest within Becky’s home,” says JP Evangelista, EVP of Content, Programming and Marketing, Vevo. “This video is a teaser to the bigger world of Baraja Bendita, with every video we’re releasing in our series possessing an entirely unique vibe, choreography, lighting, and energy – much like the unexpected card dealt from a shuffled deck. Our team really translated each song into a fully realized live experience, culminating the series with a final short film for the album.”
