“Sedze”
means “my heart” in the North Slavey language of the Northwest
Territories of Canada. It’s a befitting title for the second CD by Dene
singer/songwriter, Leela Gilday, who poured her heart into her latest
release which will be launched in Toronto on November 22. Originally from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, she will perform new songs from Sedze with her band at Toronto’s NOW Lounge.
Leela’s latest release follows her debut album Spirit World, Solid Wood. With 11 songs, the unique collection in Sedze showcases her eclectic blend of folk and pop songwriting highlighted with traditional elements. She wrote all but one track on the CD, and performs with some of Canadas' best musicians including Kevin Fox, Debashis Sinha, Brian Kobayakawa, Steve Gotlib, Rhonda Stakich, and Okalani LeBlanc.
The absence of electric instruments emphasizes Leela’s mesmerizing vocals whereas the richness of the cello, bass, and breathtaking harmonies affirm Leela is among Canada’s major vocalists.
