Aysanabee teams up with Raye Zaragoza on new single
Aysanabee, the rising Canadian alternative/indie artist, announces a new song, “Come Out,” with critically-acclaimed American singer-songwriter Raye Zaragoza. “Come Out,” released today via Ishkōdé Records, showcases the voices of two of Turtle Island’s fastest-rising Indigenous artists, both alumni of the International Indigenous Music Summit.
A twinkling, winged ode to lost love, “Come Out” begins with Aysanabee’s finger-picked backbone. Burning bright, the song builds as it begs for clarity, direction, and reassurance. Together, Aysanabee and Zaragoza stretch a moment in time into something much bigger and broader; the song is a product of both collaboration and compassion.
“Often times, when you write a song with another person, it’s for one artist or the other,” says Aysanabee. “This one had deep connection to us both, and I think it shows.”
Aysanabee will join Zaragoza in Knoxville, Tennessee on January 30, 2024, for Pass the Mic: Creating a Stage for Change, a concert filmed for later broadcast on PBS. The artists will reconnect with a performance on SoCal 88.5 (Los Angeles, CA) in early February, where Aysanabee will be a guest DJ. In addition to his upcoming tour with Allison Russell, Aysanabee will also appear at The Great Escape (UK) and Tallinn Music Week in the coming months.
