Anishinaabe/Cree singer-songwriter Jayli Wolf has announced a new EP, God Is an Endless Mirror, out September 22 via Wolf's own label Alt Eden.
God Is an Endless Mirror is her sophomore EP following her JUNO-nominated Wild Whisper, in which she candidly explored themes surrounding the hardship her family faced after the colonial genocide of her people by the Canadian government.
The musician said in a press release about God Is an Endless Mirror:
While I was writing this EP I just kept feeling like there was more I needed to be tapping into. Every song was about losing my mind, barely holding on, and feeling lost. As I reflected on that I realized that I needed a massive change in my life. I stepped back from acting, and bought my childhood farm. Then the music began to shift too — into more resolve, more faith and power. And so there is both music from during the shift and after in this EP. And I am excited for what is to come now.
To coincide with the album announcement, Wolf has shared the empowering and powerful new single "Blood Orange."
"I wanted this song to boldly confront the themes of control, oppression, and societal standards, while also illuminating the courage to break free and reclaim one's narrative," Wolf said. "Blood Orange is a poignant testament to the indomitable spirit of those who have faced adversity, encouraging resilience, healing, and the liberation that comes from telling one's story."
