Indigenous artist Madisyn Whajne has spent most of her life searching: for her purpose, her family, and herself. She was taken from her family, like tens of thousands of other native children, before the age of two by the Canadian government in the Sixties Scoop.

Save Our Hearts recorded live to tape in Montreal at Hotel2Tango with engineers Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire) and Shae Brossard (Bahamas, The Dears) who she met singing backups for Canadian indie-folk star Basia Bulat.

The album is imbued with a visceral sense of loneliness and longing, a burning desire for connection and companionship that propels it endlessly forward in pursuit of something perpetually out of reach.

Madisyn is releasing her first album Save Our Hearts this December 11th which you can preorder on her website.
