NEE-SHA – “Intervene” (feat. q-IZI)
NEE-SHA‘s “Intervene” featuring q-IZI is a powerful anthem that preaches solidarity and the power of womanhood against domestic violence. It was released on International Women’s Day 2025 as part of the day’s celebration, and even with its sullen and moody topic, the result is an uplifting and aspirational piece that aims to empower women going through domestic violence, reminding them of their worth. Over a solemn, string-driven backdrop, the emcee shares vivid tales of different characters entangled in their respective web of violence and the net result of not looking away. The visual concept by director Katharina Simunic is quite engaging and brings the story to life with well-crafted set-pieces.
Puma June – “Love Comes & Goes”
Toronto-based artist Puma June unveils this powerful self-love anthem titled “Love Comes & Goes.” The heartfelt ballad focuses on the concept of biological limitations, fleeting time, self-love and how they are all interconnected. Backed by a soothing piano arrangement that slowly soars, Puma June pours her every fibre on wax as she reflects on her personal experiences with health challenges, loneliness, and those struggles people rarely speak about.
The accompanying music video explores the song from a different and positive perspective, celebrating the 100th birthday of “Nonna” Bernita Smith, the grandmother of director Arden Grier. Nonna turns 100 on International Women’s Day and has been an activist and singer throughout her lifetime. The video shifts the lyrics’ meaning to self-love/joy in aging and fighting the rhetoric that women’s value depletes as we age. Though bodies and abilities change, worth remains fixed.
“Love Comes & Goes” is the lead single from Puma June’s debut A Woman That They Want EP.
