Canadian Record Release - October 2008
Lucie Idlout's sophomore album entitled "Swagger" will be released in Canada in October 2008. This will be only the second release from the artist who has garnered critical acclaim from The New Yorker to The Globe and Mail, and who's most recent performances include opening for The White Stripes and playing for The Governor General of Canada.

Angel Street
Lucie recently adapted one of her new songs to record with the Iqaluit Youth Choir in Nunavut's capital city. This adaptation, which addresses the problem of spousal abuse, was renamed "Angel Street" and also includes performances by three members of Canadian group, Blue Rodeo. The Iqaluit City Council subsequently renamed one of the capital's streets where the women's shelter resides to "Angel Street" in an effort to draw attention to this issue. Several Canadian capital cities have also taken up the cause and have begun the process of creating an Angel Street.

The Los Angeles based, Annenberg Foundation, shot a series of documentaries in the North touching on this momentous event and included Angel Street as part of the soundtrack for their documentary, “A Place To Run To”. The documentary can be viewed here (under the Human Rights topic).
