‘Snakeskin’ is a battle cry, a call to arms. Canny rallies her listeners through a blend of RnB, electronica and folk-pop, her dynamic vocals painting a vivid picture of growth, self-worth, and becoming whole again. This track came from a personal place for Canny, with her discussing the origins of the song and how it relates to an upsetting real life event that she chose to turn from tragedy to triumph.

“’Snakeskin’ is about me finding out, minutes before going live for a TV performance that my boyfriend at the time was cheating on me. The situation at hand forced me to make a quick decision. Either I could fall apart and let it ruin my day or I could just immediately forget him – shedding his BS and all the hurt he caused and moving on in my shiny new skin. Needless to say, I chose the latter, smashed my performance, felt empowered af and got this song out of the whole fiasco. Winning!”

The track is much like a parallel universe to her previous single, the punchy, energetic ‘Know It All’, ‘Medicine’s mellow guitar melodies instead lulling the listener into a gentle acoustic experience with beautiful vocal harmonies and Canny’s staple banjo and harp backing.

Discussing the release, the Irish multi-instrumentalist explains: “‘Medicine’ is about when somebody comes into your life and uses your healing energy to heal themselves, in turn leaving you depleted and without enough for yourself. Because of the caring nature of women, we often get used by men in this way, particularly vulnerable men. But it can happen to all openhearted people. It’s sad, but should remind the openhearted to stay true to themselves – as they deserve, and will find, better.”
