STREAM/SHARE 3rd SINGLE
'THE RIVER' HERE
Edmonton folk-roots musician Christin Hyshka shares his new album Rescue out now on all digital streaming platforms. Listen here.
To celebrate the launch of the album, Christin is also releasing ‘The River,’ the 3rd single from the LP. The rousing track tells a tale of redemption and loss that leaves the listener contemplating both.
“I read this tragic story sometime ago about a young girl living on the street, abusing drugs, no family and at some low point, she crosses a bridge over a river and thinks of jumping,” says Christin. “Thankfully, shortly after, some good people took her in and suddenly life had meaning again. The river in my song is a metaphor. On one hand, her old life was washed clean in the water, but the river had the potential to take that life as well. I tried to leave the interpretation of either scenario in this song open to the listener.”
Christin grew up in rural Manitoba listening to Neil Young, Bob Dylan and Steve Earle and was greatly influenced by the imagery that these artists depict through their songwriting. He now lives in Edmonton, Alberta, where he recorded his debut album, The First Word, in 2021 and his sophomore album Rescue, which has just been released. The nine songs on the new album all tell their own unique story of faith, joy, forgiveness, re-birth, regret, shame, desire, longing and creation. All facets of the human condition. Themes that both weigh us down and raise us up. It’s as emotional as it is powerful, filled with messages for the soul and the heart.
Rescue is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more information, please visit christinhyshkamusic.com.
