2003 CAMA Winner: Best Female Vocalist

2003 CAMA Nominations: Best Rock Album

One of the most powerful voices to rise from the birth of the new territory of Nunavut is Inuk singer / songwriter, Lucie Idlout. Her voice at times echoes the crooning of the likes of Etta James, and then with seemingly equal ease, delivers the awesome power of alternative alumni Marianne Faithful & P.J. Harvey. Lucie’s raw, commanding style is not intended for the lighthearted. She takes you on an emotional journey through life drawing on themes that are common to us all; heartbreak, one night stands, loss, tenderness and occasionally a little rage. Her fearless insights as well as her songs’ compelling social relevance have made her debut CD "E5770; My Mothers Name" an incredibly gripping work. Lucie’s ability to create tales of conflict while still retaining a benevolent eye has made her a favourite amongst the festival circuit. She has toured extensively through Canada, Europe and the United States garnering rave revues wherever she travels. Lucie Idlout’s debut Arbor Records release titled “E5-770; My Mother's Name”, is a collection of vivid musical “paintings”. Every song stands on it’s own as a piece of finely crafted art - sometimes beautiful, sometimes painful but always truthful!
