Inuktitut by Elisapie

I haven't been this excited to discover an album in months.

Inuktitut is Elisapie's fourth album, and it's nominally a cover album. Except for two differences: It's sung entirely in the Inuit language, and these 'covers' are absolutely brilliant rearrangements. Familiar songs are completely transformed, both through genius reorchestration and subtle changes that make each song sound like it was originally written in Inuit—as if no other language could really be suited for those songs.

Elisapie's vocals deserve plenty of credit too, of course. Her voice is rich and enveloping, but with a certain chilly depth that lends even the lightest of pop songs gravitas.

My favorite song is almost certainly Elisapie's entirely brass take on Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here", but every single track stands out and stands alone. Metallica, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, Cyndi Lauper, Led Zeppelin, Blondie—Inuktitut includes and perfectly reappropriates a broad swath of popular music, fearlessly and effortlessly.

I do not know how to recommend this album to you strongly enough. It is a must-listen.

This is so fucking beautiful it made me cry. I don't really care about the Juno Awards as a whole, but as a Two-Spirit Mi'kmaw person, this opening really, really touched me.

Also, it's not readable on camera but Jeremy Dutcher posted this close-up on his FB:

Elisapie, “Uummati Attanarsimat" (2023)

Okay. I just want to share this song with EVERYONE and it occurred to me that fans of The Terror might be particularly receptive to an awesome Inuktitut cover of "The Unforgiven." I'd never heard the original (apparently it's by some band called Metallica lol) and this just blew me away. The other two singles Elisapie has released from this album ("Taimangalimaaq (Time After Time)" and "Uummati Attanarsimat (Heart of Glass)") have also been fucking dope and I've been listening a lot but this one is just..... next level in my opinion.

Anyway, I know some folks who watch The Terror are interested in Inuit culture ETC, PLUS when I read the English lyrics to this song I was like ha ha ha there are connections here to our cold boys. So if you are interested GIVE IT A LISTEN and then scream with me over how good it is
