Source-derived summary

Cliché Hot is the first studio album by Canadian hip hop group Radio Radio. The album was nominated for the Félix Award for best hip hop album and the band was nominated for revelation of the year. The album was also the basis of Radio Radio's nomination for a Prix Éloizes in 2010.

The song "Jacuzzi" was particularly popular in Quebec and the video was also nominated for a Félix Award in 2009. It is included in the ice hockey video game NHL 2K11.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Cliché Hot” is album by Radio Radio. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Cliché, album and Radio, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewBest approached as a cultural-object dossier: authorship and date matter, but circulation and reception often explain the wider significance. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2010, 2009—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2008. For this dossier, Cliché, album and Radio is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “album by Radio Radio” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 12, 2021. The linked authority identifier is Q2979016. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010 and 2009.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
