The sophomore release for the acclaimed JUNO-nominated Indigenous (Anishinaabe/Cree), Queer, activist, actress, poet, alt-pop singer-songwriter-producer and filmmaker, God Is An Endless Mirror thematically explores topics of spirituality, self-love, awakening and healing.
“While I was writing this EP I just kept feeling like there was more I needed to be tapping into,” Jayli reflects. “Every song was about losing my mind, barely holding on, and feeling lost. As I reflected on that I realized that I needed a massive change in my life. I stepped back from acting and bought my childhood farm. Then the music began to shift too - into more resolve, more faith and power. And so there is both music from during the shift and after in this EP, and I am excited for what is to come now.”
Alongside the album's release, Jayli shares an evocative music video for album highlight “Welcome Child.” “’Welcome Child’ explores the ageless soul,” she says of the song's inspiration. “Every cycle of life; beginning anew and coming to an end. All the perceived good and bad, and growing from the lessons learned. The life cycle of our own Universe one day shutting its eyes and what lays beyond that.” – Watch.

MORE ABOUT THE SIXTIES SCOOP:
The Canadian Government and Catholic Church were responsible for taking or “scooping” more than 20,000 First Nation, Métis, and Inuit children from their families and communities in the 1950s through the ‘90s. The children were placed in foster homes or adopted (with accounts of children even being sold) into non-Indigenous families across Canada, the United States, and beyond. Along with the loss of cultural identity, the government went so far as to change some children’s true ethnicity on file. Many experienced severe sexual, physical, and emotional abuse.
