Indigenous Artist Jayli Wolf Shares Cinematic Music Video For New Single “Lead Me”

Edited press release:

Indigenous and queer artist, actress, and activist Jayli Wolf returns with the stunning self-directed video for new single “Lead Me.” Originally meant to be released on the rising act’s autobiographical and critically acclaimed debut EP Wild Whisper, “Lead Me” lends us the strength to overcome our inner demons as Wolf opens up about her own battle with addiction. As the rising talent’s work towards reclamation and healing continues, so does the effort to draw attention to issues amongst marginalized groups, as it was released on Orange Shirt Day (National Day for Truth and Reconciliation) to commemorate the victims of the residential school system.

Jayli Wolf shares, “‘Lead Me’ is about temptation and addiction. It’s about knowing how good a person or a substance can make you feel but at the same time being aware that you need to fight the desire for your own self-preservation. I gave so much of my energy and life to addiction, and it was terribly difficult to fight, to no longer let it lead me. Addiction is about survival. I wanted to escape my reality because I didn’t have the tools to change it. Temporary highs can be so enticing, but the cost is always higher. The video for the song illustrates being trapped by your proverbial demons, and for myself, finding healing through reclaiming my culture and taking my power back—breaking free from the chains of my past.”
