The Globe and Mail, September 17, 2019. According to Haviah Mighty, "the 13th floor is something that we remove from our reality because it is something that we don’t understand and therefore we dismiss it"; the title therefore represents naming and speaking about and acknowledging issues and narratives that have been dismissed or ignored. The album was released on May 10, with a corresponding performance on CBC Music's First Play Live.https://www.cbc.ca/music/firstplaylive/first-play-live-haviah-mighty-13th-floor-1.5129393 First Play Live: Haviah Mighty, 13th Floor May 10, 2019 CBC Music Reception Max Mertens, writing for Pitchfork, called the album Mighty's "most cohesive and narratively ambitious project to date".
