Toronto musician Charlotte Day Wilson today shares new track, ‘Canopy’, the third lifted from forthcoming album ‘Cyan Blue’, following previous singles ‘Forever’ featuring Snoh Aalegra and ‘I Don’t Love You’.
Over plucked acoustics and finger snaps, Wilson sings her ode to inner peace and self-preservation. The moody, mercurial vibe of the track is in keeping with the lilting feel of new album ‘Cyan Blue’, which sees Wilson thread together vestiges of her past and present, reflecting on her journey and how far she’s come.
“I want to look through the unjaded eyes of my younger self again,” Wilson explains of making ‘Cyan Blue’. “Before there wasn’t as much baggage, before so much life was lived. But I also wish that my younger self could see where I am now. It would be nice to be able to impart some of the wisdom and clarity that I have now onto her.”
‘Canopy’ comes accompanied with a monochrome video, filmed by cinematographer Sylvain Chaussée and styled by Mellany Sanchez. The video features Wilson, a hockey player in her own right, skating with a hockey stick in hand across the vast expanse of an ice rink.
