Justine is ready to open a new chapter with “Past Life,” with its multi-layered arrangement and emotional vocal performance illustrating the creative strides she has made. Funded in part by Calgary Arts Development, “Past Life” was produced by Mark Troyer at Calgary’s Evergreen Sound and features Justine’s friend Sarah Houston on piano, both of whom contribute greatly to the song’s cinematic dynamics. Justine says the sense of musical tug of war at its heart reflects the message contained in the song’s lyrics.
In 2024, Justine was named Solo Artist of the Year at the YYC Music Awards. Her EP Another Chance received national attention, charting at #2 on CJSW FM and Top-10 on Earshot’s National Folk/Roots chart. Her music has been widely supported by CBC for over a decade alongside community and college radio stations across Canada.
“Past Life” now shows Giles is ready to take the next step to international status, as it displays why she is one of the most compelling new voices on the Canadian singer-songwriter scene.
