Montreal’s Dominique Fils-Aimé treats her albums like archaeological digs into the history of Black music. Her 2018 debut, Nameless, saw her update the timeless blues elegies of Billie Holiday for contemporary audiences; 2019’s jazz-inspired Stay Tuned! channelled the free and fiery spirit of Nina Simone; and 2021’s Three Little Words put her spin on the soulful protest music of Marvin Gaye. That approach aligns her with fellow retro-modernists like Black Pumas and H.E.R.
