New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Members of the LGBTQIA+ community have been forced to hide for far too long, but Indigenous and Queer artist Jayli Wolf refuses to be silent on "Hush" - the sophomore release and precursor to her forthcoming EP Wild Whisper due out June 18th.
The empowered doomsday cult survivor turned activist, actress, filmmaker, and alt-pop singer-songwriter-producer made an unforgettable entrance with the launch of her award-winning debut "Child of the Government" this year. As we continue to follow Jayli Wolf on her journey towards redemption, "Hush" opens another gateway for post-traumatic growth and enlightenment. With stirring poetic vocals over lush electrified sonics, the three-and-a-half minute song is amplified by an alluring visual in which a liberated Jayli Wolf takes full ownership of her sensuality and unfettered bisexual orientation.
The new single unpacks the multi-hyphenate act's earliest memories of passion and self-discovery, ultimately plunged by her mother's family members (devoted Jehovah's Witnesses). "I felt immense shame around the truth and who I am. My first true love with another girl (a fellow cult member) was filled with guilt and shame. We would pray together for forgiveness over the desires that we had every day. I believed Jehovah would destroy me in Armageddon," Jayli Wolf explains, "Being free now, my deprogramming has also allowed me to question the societal conditioning around relationships and sexual orientation. I hope this song brings people feelings of power and freedom in their own personal explorations."
Like many in the LGBTQIA+ community, coming out and coming to terms with her sexuality was a long, often guilt-ridden process—one that was exponentially difficult in a high-control religious group. While this is her story by her definition, "Hush" serves as an ode for all seeking to advocate their queerness and find power in their truth.
