Dondrea Returns To Her "Northern Roots" In Refreshing New Single



Los Angeles-based Canadian singer-songwriter Dondrea delivers a heartfelt homage to her homeland with her latest single, "Northern Roots."

After spending over a decade in Music Supervision, licensing songs for shows like Degrassi, Dondrea has returned to her first love—creating music. Her recent comeback, marked by 2023's "First Time," has already led to opportunities like opening for Michael Bernard Fitzgerald on his Canadian Farm Tour.

"Northern Roots" continues Dondrea's journey of self-discovery and reconnection after "First Time"—a look at grounding yourself after exhausting burnout. Working with producer Matt Bauer and Juno Award-winning engineer Dajaun Martineau, she crafts a gentle, immersive sound that tugs on every heartstring.



The new single, "Northern Roots," opens with delicate country instrumentation that immediately transports listeners to the Canadian landscape Dondrea calls home. Her vocals carry both warmth and longing, perfectly capturing the bittersweet feeling of being far from home while carrying it in your heart.

The production, handled masterfully by Martineau, creates an expansive sonic atmosphere that lets Dondrea's thoughts run wild about the person she's become while finding her way back to her "Northern Roots."


While the song is deeply personal to Dondrea's experience as a Canadian living abroad, its themes of homesickness and staying connected to one's origins resonate with anyone who's ever left home to chase their dreams.

Let Dondrea take you home with her newest single, "Northern Roots," now available on all major streaming platforms.
