Palestinian-Canadian artist, Nemahsis, was dropped by her label for speaking up on Palestine in October 2023. Since then, she's been shared across social media for her cover of Lorde's 'Teams' that went viral after Nema recorded her version of it over her own personal footage of Palestine. Nema has produced, recorded, and released her latest single, 'stick of gum' entirely independently after multiple labels refused to work with her for speaking up as a Palestinian. She is a truly outstanding artist with an unparalleled voice, sound, and vision that's eclectic, full of heart and conviction, and mesmerising in its beauty. Please, listen to her and support Palestinian artists.

Something I adore about this saga is how the songs all end with such powerful and forceful singing. It almost feels like Odysseus is trying to drown out the screams he hears by being louder with his own pain and convictions
