MINOE shares poignant and beautiful 'Teenage Disillusionment'
Today, Nova Scotia born MINOE returns, igniting a brand new chapter with powerful new single ‘Teenage Disillusionment’
Demonstrating strength in vulnerability, MINOE digs deep with her honest new single ‘Teenage Disillusionment’. Reflecting on her childhood, she shares a courageous insight into the complexities of growing up with an abusive parent. Sharing more, she explained: ‘Teenage disillusionment is a pretty sensitive song. I’m in a good place now and I felt it was time to share more about my experiences growing up. I’m very passionate about advocating for kids who might not always be safe at home and I hope if anyone listens and relates to the lyrics I want them to know that they’re not alone’
Now living in Montreal, MINOE has been making a name for herself as an impressive independent artist to watch. Her debut EP ‘Bleeding Hearts Disco’ arrived back in 2023 and united the pop girls, gays and theys with a brilliant nod to disco, pop and self-empowerment. Wracking up over a million streams and support from the likes of The Line of Best Fit, Complex CA, Consequence of Sound, Wonderland, CBC, it put MINOE firmly on the map.
Last year MINOE dialled things up with two stand alone anthem’s; ‘Jealous’, which debuted at Osheaga, and ‘Liquorlips’ the latter in collaboration with fellow Canadian artist Renon. 2024 saw MINOE flex her playful side and treat listeners to the killer combo of devilish lyricism, bubble gum pop and dirty basslines.
Today’s new offering ‘Teenage Disillusionment’ showcases another side to the Canadian talent, giving nods to some of her earlier influences (Tumblr sad girl 2013) including Clams Casino, Imogen heap and Lykke li. It’s a moment to reflect on the experiences that have made her who she is today.
MINOE took to songwriting at the tender age of 7 as a way to process her turbulent upbring and navigate her queer identity. After being ousted in her teen years, she moved to Montreal to independently pursue a career in music. Her experiences have driven a desire in her to create a safe space for listeners and build a warm and supportive community surrounding her music. With lots more to come this year, keep all eyes on MINOE
