Last year, Elisapie's fantastic album Inuktitut was nominated for a Juno.... and WON. Contemporary Indigenous Artist or Group of the Year.
This year, the SAME ALBUM is nominated for TWO Junos. And, I looked it up. The eligibility periods of the 2024 and 2025 Junos overlap by a couple of months, and this album - arguably my favorite of 2023 - happened to have been released in the overlap window.
I am rooting for this to win Album of the Year. The album is great and deserves the attention. It's also nominated in the Adult Alternative Album of the Year category, and I think it WILL win that one.
This song was not on the initial release of the album, but was released as a single, with video, on the occasion of the first anniversary of its release. Yes, it was written by Sheryl Crow, but she didn't write her song in Inuktitut... and this version has a very different, dreamier feel than the original.
