Ever since we heard ‘Aorta’, the poignant and intense first single from Tanya Tagaq’s upcoming album Retribution, it has been one of our most anticipated records of 2016. As if we weren’t excited enough already, the ground-breaking Inuit artist shared another amazing single called ‘Centre’. On Retribution, Tagaq collaborated with several stellar artists, including Canadian rapper and hip hop artist Shad who shines on this track. Described as being a “hip-hop song about molecular biology and menstruation”, ‘Centre’ also features the sound of ravens recorded in Nunavut, trombones and Tagaq’s very own unique vocals. Everything about this song is great and we can’t take it off of repeat.
Retribution is out on October 21st in North America and November 18th in Europe via Six Shooter.
