It's a powerful electro-R&B track, and the rest of Wild Whisper's songs also serve as a place of healing for Wolf, allowing her to stretch into her alt-pop sound while digging into her past and letting the light in.
Her breakout and autobiographical song last year, "Child of the Government," unpacked some of that ongoing intergenerational trauma from the Sixties Scoop, when her father was taken from the family, cutting Wolf off from her roots. The singer and songwriter from Saulteau First Nation, who first started releasing music with husband Hayden Wolf in the duo Once a Tree, was raised as a Jehovah's Witness in a small British Columbia town with her maternal grandmother, completely cut off from an Indigenous heritage that Wolf knew nothing about. Jayli Wolf dropped her debut solo EP, Wild Whisper, in 2021, stunning fans with both her talent and her story. Nominated for: contemporary Indigenous artist or group of the year.
