Oh, yes. What language is she singing "Blackbird" (and parts of the other) in? Inuktitut?
Miꞌkmaq. She's from Cape Breton, in Nova Scotia.
Ms. Stevens was interviewed on As It Happens today. She doesn't have anything else available yet, but she wants to release more music.
It's nice to see someone from the place I grew up showing such promise.
Paul McCartney likes her cover of his song. That page also reprints the lyrics.
And here's something more traditional from Emma Stevens: the Mi'kmaq Honour Song. No, I'm not going to tell you how far in the music begins, because what she has to say beforehand is important.
