Daring and darling Salluit native Elisapie Isaac has been making waves with her first solo album There Will be Stars. Perfectly trilingual, Elisapie sings on the album in Inuktitut, English and French. This track, with French lyrics written by Quebec singer-songwriter Richard Desjardins, showcases Elisapie's velvet voice at its raw best. It whispers in your ear and touches your heart. STREAM: Elisapie Isaac - "Moi, Elsie"
Isaac came to our attention several years ago through her work with Taima, a wonderful collaboration with guitarist/composer Alain Auger.
And if this new song is any indication of where her music is headed, "Turning My Back" offers us a trip to a dreamy place, above the clouds, within what Isaac calls "a constellation of music from our universe".
Lovely.
