Black Belt Eagle Scout delivers new cut "Spaces"
Black Belt Eagle Scout has released a fourth outing from her The Land, The Water, The Sky album titled "Spaces".
"Spaces" lands with a video filmed by Evan Benally Atwood and Morningstar Angeline, and is the fourth preview of Black Belt Eagle Scout's upcoming album, following last month's "Nobody" and her 2022 singles "My Blood Runs Through This Land" and "Don’t Give Up".
Black Belt Eagle Scout, real name Katherine Paul, says of the new release, "I wrote "Spaces" for an audience as a way to sing melodies of healing and care for them. Since starting Black Belt Eagle Scout, I have moved through many spaces, playing shows for crowds of people. I can’t always connect one on one with everyone and so this song is an attempt to bring my feelings of appreciation I have for everyone who supports my music to life. My parents lend their voices in the chorus melody, my dad with his strong pow wow voice and my mom with her wholesome tone that sounds so similar to mine you can barely notice the distinction between me and her. I want this song to be an offering for those who need to grasp onto something and feel because through feeling and being together, there is healing."
The Land, The Water, The Sky will follow Paul's 2019 second album At The Party with My Brown Friends. She says of the new record, "I created The Land, The Water, The Sky to record and reflect upon my journey back to my homelands and the challenges and the happiness it brought."
"Spaces" is out now. Black Belt Eagle Scout's The Land, The Water, The Sky album will be released on 10 February via Saddle Creek, and is available to pre-order now.
