D’orjay The Singing Shaman is rewriting the rules of country music with her new single, “#1Hussy.”
The track is the first taste of her upcoming album, Futuristic Sounds in Western Prairie Music – Living at Beaver Hills House, and it’s already making waves for its fearless approach to love and storytelling.
“#1Hussy” Flips the Classic Cheatin’ Song
Equal parts bold, tender, and twangy, “#1Hussy” is a honky-tonk-inspired anthem that turns the classic cheatin’ trope on its head.
The song draws from D’orjay’s personal experience with ethical non-monogamy, radical honesty, and expansive love — and she delivers every lyric with grit, humour, and undeniable heart. Backed by her seven-piece band, The Lovely Luvies Fam, and a sizzling fiddle performance from Darla Daniels, the track feels like prairie lightning in song form.
Blazing a Trail in Country Music
D’orjay didn’t follow the traditional path to music. She stepped on stage professionally for the first time at 35, after years of working in healing and personal growth.
Since then, she’s been carving out a space for herself — and others — in the country music scene. As a Black, Queer artist from rural Alberta, D’orjay brings a perspective that challenges the genre’s boundaries while staying true to its roots. Her songs are personal, powerful, and impossible to ignore.
Why “#1Hussy” Matters
This isn’t just another catchy tune. “#1Hussy” is a celebration of living and loving authentically, told through sharp storytelling and a sound that bridges tradition and innovation. It’s country music — but on D’orjay’s terms.
What’s Next for D’orjay
With Futuristic Sounds in Western Prairie Music – Living at Beaver Hills House set to drop soon, “#1Hussy” is just the beginning. If this single is any indication, the album promises to be bold, emotional, and unlike anything else in the genre right now.
Stream “#1Hussy” today and see why D’orjay is one of the most exciting voices shaking up Canadian country music.
In country music, the Front Porch has long been a place of reflection. A place where you can look at the life you have inside that front door. A place where time almost seems to stand still, where you can get away. It’s also a place where you can go to observe the world as it passes by you. To think about your place out there beyond the driveway.
