All proceeds will be donated to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society of Canada http://irsss.ca/ 

"Don Amero and I wrote this song with the intention of keeping the conversation progressing. "Let Em Lie" is written from the perspective of a residential school survivor and touches on some of the hardships so many had to face and are still living with. " - Kyle McKearney  

"While Kyle and I haven't attended Residential Schools, we have felt the burden of the weight that those places cast upon Indigenous peoples in this country. After the uncovering of the 215 children in Kamloops, we felt compelled to share a perspective of some of the stories we hear all too often from some of those that have survived. " - Don Amero

MJ speaks with Canadian artist, Lindsay Ell, about her NEW single, "Right On Time." First, Lindsay talks about her musical influences, when and why she started playing the guitar, and the inspiration behind her last three albums, The Project (2017), The Continuum Project (2018), and Heart Theory (2020). 

In a statement regarding her new single, Lindsay says, "This is a new dawn for me. I’m stepping into my new music, unapologetically feeling that I can be certain I’m right where I want to be. 'Right On Time' is my own theme song – I’ve been told I’ve missed my chance more times than I can count. If women in country believed that, we would not triumph in the way we always do. So this song is for anyone who needs to hear and be inspired by the idea that you can’t be late to the party in your own life!”
