On its own terms, Safia Nolin’s confessional indie folk is striking enough. But in Quebec, Nolin is more than just a celebrated singer/songwriter—she’s become an inspirational icon for people who, like her, have been the target of homophobia, body-shaming, and bullying. Those experiences inform Nolin’s 2015 breakthrough, “Igloo,” a candid admission of loneliness that’s so intimate, it induces shivers. Her 2018 album, Dans le noir, is even more unvarnished, with tracks like “Miroir” powered by intense, bloody-fingered strums. But duets with art-rocker Patrick Watson and rapper Koriass showcase her range beyond sad-eyed serenades.
