Elisapie – Inuktitut (2023, Inuk)

Continuing our journey through the epic Fedi-sourced catalogue of must-hear albums, our next spotlight is on number 1086 on The List, submitted by Yuki. This is a covers album like no other. Inuk alt-folk artist Elisapie chose songs that once were all over the airwaves - including in her hometown of Nunavik - songs that had a strong emotional connection to a person or memory in her past, translated them into Inuktitut, and then created intensely personal versions of those songs. I guarantee you’ve never heard these songs (originally by Metallica, Fleetwood Mac, Cyndi Lauper, Queen, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Blondie, Patrick Hernandez, Leonard Cohen, and Rolling Stones) like this before.
