Montreal songwriter and "internet drama" series creator Lubalin announced his record haha, no worries today (August 30), and there's a chance Mitski may have inspired it in part.

The artist came by the Exclaim! office to take our Questionnaire — a video series we created based on our written column of the same name. In it, he talked to us about tips he has for songwriters, the meanest thing anyone has ever said about his work, and the concert that "changed [his] life."

"I don't know how to explain it other than to say that I think Mitski is surely one of the greatest songwriters we have, but also one of the greatest performers we have," he said of seeing her in 2018 at Montreal's Club Soda. "It was magnetic. ... The energy was unlike anything I've ever experienced before."
