Maisie Matoaka Releases Debut Album "Turbulent Times" Addressing Global Issues

Folk artist Maisie Matoaka's debut album "Turbulent Times" features twelve original tracks addressing digital surveillance, environmental concerns, and contemporary social issues, available November 11th.

Folk singer-songwriter Maisie Matoaka's debut album, "Turbulent Times," will be available on major streaming platforms starting November 11th, 2024. The twelve-track album addresses current social issues through traditional folk arrangements, and the singles are currently streaming on digital platforms.



Matoaka's Turbulent Times blends traditional folk arrangements with contemporary concerns, drawing inspiration from the protest music movement of the 1960s and '70s. Her distinct vocal style is paired with acoustic arrangements, bringing her messages of resistance and hope to the forefront. "This album reflects the times we're living in," Matoaka explains. "I wanted to create something that speaks to our struggles while also offering a sense of connection and resilience."



The lead single from Turbulent Times, titled "Censored," addresses the growing concerns around digital surveillance and the erosion of free speech in the digital age. The song critiques the increasing control of information, focusing on social media platforms and their influence on public discourse. "Censored" is already available for streaming, offering a glimpse into the album's thematic core.


Other key tracks on the album include "Footprints," which highlights the environmental challenges of the modern era, and "Silent Chains," a reflection on privacy and personal freedoms in the age of technology. Each song on Turbulent Times tells a story and seeks to engage listeners with the issues shaping contemporary society.


The album was entirely produced by Matoaka herself, allowing her to maintain creative control over the sound and structure of the project. "I wanted to ensure that every element of the album aligned with my vision," she said. "The production process was a way to fully immerse myself in the message I wanted to convey. "


Turbulent Times will be available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube, Deezer and iTunes as well as many others, making it accessible to a global audience.
