The song is picking up radio airplay four years after its initial release. First dropped in 2022, the upbeat ditty finds Kanen, born Karen Pinette-Fontaine, switching between French and Innu-aimun, the native language of the Innu community in Uashat-Maliotenam, Quebec. Her matter-of-fact vocals wash over the moody folk-rock soundscape, featuring sprightly guitars and bubbling drums.<\/p>\n
For Kanen, the toe-tapping track was a release of emotions: \u201cFor the first time, I’m letting go. I have more important battles,\u201d she shared on social media<\/u><\/a>. \u201cYou only want the beautiful, to exploit it, or worse. You take up all the space to the point of not giving a damn about the future.\u201d<\/p>\n A deep cut on her debut album, 2023’s Mitshuap<\/em>, the release prompted her double win at the F\u00e9lix Awards<\/u><\/a> that same year. The Innu singer took home Indigenous artist of the year and discovery of the year, the latter of which made her the first-ever Indigenous artist to receive the accolade.<\/p>\n \u201cF**k That S\u2013t\u201d appears to be picking up the old fashioned way. It doesn\u2019t seem to be having a viral moment on social media, and isn’t even the most-streamed song on her album. The singer\u2019s latest song is a collaboration with neo-folk singer H\u00e9ron, released last May. But it’s had longevity on radio. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
