The song was produced by Thor Simonsen (Kelly Fraser, Aasiva) and Dale Penner (Nickelback, The Matthew Good Band), the song is the first release off Joey’s debut album, Tumitit - meaning “your footsteps” in Inuktitut - set for release in 2021.

Qujannamiik for the translation from Inuktut to English. It was so fun hearing the Inuktut and then understanding what it meant. Very good!!!

[@just10NU]

Inuktitut sounds way better and is original

[@mertatay9554]

Ohh my God! This is awesome buddy!!! The pattern of sound is like flowing river. Although I don’t understand much from words, I love the music, meaning and the smooth word flows. Great song and wish you the best!

Awesome, I love this song, Keep up the good work..

[@amiekunilusie4239]

Awesome song.

[@aarhusnord]

Throatsinging sounds a bit like a beatbox. Very airy and bit jazzy Melody. I would love to learn inuktitut (at least a bit), but seems to be hard when you are not there in Nunavut. Greetings from Denmark.
