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…
