Tia Wood could be our next Sabrina on “Sky High”

If youโ€™re waiting for the next Sabrina Carpenter or Remi Wolf to arrive, look no further than Canadian artist Tia Wood. She has a new single called โ€œSky Highโ€ that has the feel-good vibe of Sabrinaโ€™s โ€œEspressoโ€ โ€“ and Tiaโ€™s debut EP Pretty Red Bird is chockful of pop perfection.

Woodโ€™s career ascent is as improbable as that of k.d. lang, who also grew up in Alberta. Tia was raised in the indigenous community of Saddle Creek โ€“ and the EP title is what her family called her in those formative days.

Thereโ€™s a Saddle Creek spaciousness and peace in her voice. Her previous single โ€œDirt Roadsโ€ is an homage to her hometown.

โ€œThis project celebrates who I am as a young, proudly Indigenous woman, making music with meaning and a purpose,โ€ says Tia. โ€œIโ€™m so, so proud of what Iโ€™ve accomplished here, and I canโ€™t wait to share it with the world.โ€

Listen to โ€œSky Highโ€ below, and find Pretty Red Bird on your favorite streamer.
