Since her groundbreaking debut, 1964’s It’s My Way!, Buffy Sainte-Marie has been a trailblazer and a tireless peace advocate. Today the innovative artist continues to fight for the recognition of Indigenous People's rights and release new songs. This single: “You Got To Run,” is a collaboration that features Inuk singer Tanya Tagaq and is the lead single of Medicine Songs, the follow-up to the Polaris Music Prize and JUNO Award-winning 2015 album Power in the Blood. Medicine Songs was released November 10, 2017 on True North Records.

For more than a half-century, Sainte-Marie has been a disruptor of the status quo. In 1969, she made one of the world’s first electronic vocal albums; in 1982 she became the first Indigenous person to win an Oscar; When she was blacklisted and silenced from American radio airwaves she joined the cast of Sesame Street and became the first woman to breastfeed on national television. She’s written pop standards sung and recorded by the likes of Janis Joplin, Elvis Presley, Donovan, Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes in addition to writing “Universal Soldier,” the definitive anti-war anthem of the 20th century.
