Dominique Fils-Aimé is a Polaris Music prize-nominated singer-songwriter from Montreal who draws inspiration from soul icons of the ’40s and ’60s such as Billie Holiday, Etta James, and Nina Simone. While her musical roots are grounded in early soul and jazz, her sound transcends contemporary urban soundscapes.
Check out the stunning new single “While We Wait” (below) from Neo-Soul juggernaut Dominique Fils-Aimé. Instantly we are pulled into a timeless ballad, boasting traditional jazz flair, as Fils-Aime strides fluently over a classic Doo-wop design. A grand and profound outro commences, built on ascending harmonies and a purely indomitable vocal lead via Fils-Aimé. “While We Wait” is a striking expression.
Fils-Aimé explains, the track touches on “the transition between two eras, filled with necessary growing pains. Leaving carelessness behind in order to embrace the mission that belongs to us all. The duality between becoming agents of change versus the powerlessness we may feel.”
