iskwē Announces New Album “nīna”, Shares New Song “A Little Piece”
Canadian singer-songwriter iskwē has announced that her fourth studio album “nīna” will be released on April 12, 2024.
“nīna” is the Cree translation for “me” and was chosen as an ode to the profoundly autobiographical elements. The album is the sonic manifestation of the divine feminine explored through vignettes of love, passion, anger, betrayal, and loss.
The album is her first body of work in two years since the 2022 collaborative album “Mother Love” with Tom Wilson and comprises a 10-track, produced by Damian Taylor.
From the album, she has unveiled the sixth and the final promotional single called “A Little Piece” along with a music video.
The track was written by Meghan Meisters and produced by Damian Taylor.- The song sets the scene with a look behind the mask of someone lonely and overwhelmed by an extra-marital affair.
iskwē said of the song, “Feeling overwhelmed, I was faced with myself alone and the choices I had made over the past several years. With conflicted feelings of longing, remorse, and loneliness, I felt caged by a sentiment I could neither explain nor understand. I was alone. My mind had fooled me. My tears felt endless and yet somehow this new solitude wrapped itself around my sadness like a giant cozy blanket I could not imagine emerging from ever again. A little piece of me had died, yet I found a little peace inside. A little piece of me had died, yet I found a little peace inside.” -
