The Cree Métis singer-songwriter @iskwe is back with her first solo album since 2019, nīna. She tells @tomjoepower that the song I Get High is inspired by her experience of being attacked on the internet and aims to spread a message of taking better care of one another and not putting others down to lift ourselves up.
She also talked about how an extended trip to Mexico served as much-needed creative inspiration, what it was like working with Grammy-nominated producer Damian Taylor, and why she feels that this record is a journey back to herself.

What a year it’s been, 2025! Thank you for all your blessings, both the obvious and the ones I needed to dig deeper, in order to see clearly.
I’m grateful for all the love in my life, for the love of my life, and all the little wonders my eyes used to miss!
My wish for 2026 is to be guided by art.
Have a safe, happy and prosperous New Year to all who see this and to all who need it ✨
with love,
iskwē
