VIDEO: Elisapie Isaac - "Turning My Back"

July 05, 2011/ RPM

The enigmatic and haunting voice of beautiful Inuk singer Elisapie Isaac drifts effortlessly between her native Inuktitut and English in this gorgeous new single from her recent album "There Will Be Stars".

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.
