Folk singer-songwriter Shaina Hayes today unveils a live session in which she performs the song Heat Wave. The original version of the track is taken from the album Kindergarten Heart, released in February 2024 via Bonsound.
Shaina Hayes has also announced her next Montreal show, which will take place at the Fairmount Theatre on April 19th, 2025. Tickets are on sale now.
Inspired by Shaina’s experience farming through one of Canada’s hottest summers on record, Heat Wave wraps listeners in a hazy, intensifying soundscape. Tension builds to a fever pitch before the haziness breaks into clarity when relief from the heat wave finally does arrive.
Shot by Marc-André Dupaul, Heat Wave's live session brings together Shaina and her band, with visuals and lighting designed by Flavie Lemée and Myriam-Sophie Deslauriers. The video aims to parallel the essence of the song, evoking the suffocating and relentless nature of life’s struggles and the perseverance it takes to make it out the other side, explains the singer-songwriter.
