ISKWE – SINGLE REVIEW

Iskwē – Little Star 
Iskwe - Little Star

Release Date: Out Now

Regular readers will know that I’ve been banging on about Canadian musicians for a few years now in terms of the consistency, originality and their independent spirit. Well, now we have to add Iskwē to the mix – a woman of such talent and single-minded focus that it is hard to imagine doing anything other than standing back in awe of her talent. Iskwē’s new single, ‘Little Stars’, is immediately arresting with a sinister electro-throb and then our heroine’s voice chiming through the gloom like a beacon of hope. As the song builds with the ominous thud of the Anishinaabe rhythms, you soon get swept up in the epic nature of this protest song that exists in the space between the uplifting EDM of Above & Beyond and the powerful pop-rock of Pink!. There is an excellent animated video that accompanies this song which completes the package of a well thought out and meticulously assembled piece of art. Canada, you’ve done it again…
