Amanda Rheaume - The Spaces In Between (2022) Hi-Res

Rootsy singer-songwriter Amanda Rheaume has announced a new album. Her sixth album, The Spaces in Between, will be out on May 27 through Ishkōdé Records.

To celebrate the announcement, Rheaume has has shared a video for the shimmering, atmospheric folk ballad "All Sides of Me." Recent singles "100 Years" and "The Spaces in Between" also appear on the album, along with a previously released interlude introducing "100 Years."

That spoken interlude is one of several on the album, all of which were narrated by Métis leader Tony Belcourt. According to a press release, the album balances history with Rheaume's personal experience.

The songwriter said in a statement, "The interludes tell parts of the Métis history and experience. To me, we need to go back to the old ways, to our teachings, to understand where we are now and where we can go together. The Métis experience is often under-represented. It is my hope that this album and the interludes can shine a light on the complexities of mixed identity and offer comfort and belonging to anyone struggling to find and celebrate their place."
