Ethel Cain released a new song on SoundCloud entitled “From the River” by Palestine. Listen to it below.
“30,000 Palestinians have been killed under Israeli occupation since October 2023 and countless thousands more since the occupation began 75 years ago,” Cain wrote on Instagram. More than a third of them were children. While millions of Americans were watching the Super Bowl, our government funded the attack on Rafah, which was supposed to be the last refuge for Palestinians in Gaza. The United States government is complicit in genocide, which is certainly nothing new for us as a country. There is no way to spin this without making this a crime against humanity. The least we can do as individuals is exactly what the Palestinians asked of us; And not to turn a blind eye, and remember exactly what happened and is still happening to the people of Palestine. This song is dedicated to praying for them. May God be with every Palestinian man, woman and child.”
Cain's debut LP, Preacher's daughterreleased in 2022. Last year, she contributed backing vocals to Vyva Melinkolya's song “222.”
