Black Belt Eagle Scout shares yearning new song “My Heart Dreams”: Stream
We’re just four weeks away from the release of At the Party with My Brown Friends, the sophomore album from Black Belt Eagle Scout. Following lead single “At the Party” from June, the songwriter/multi-instrumentalist born Katherine Paul is now sharing “My Heart Dreams”.
Today’s new cut centers around Paul, who is hoping to encounter new love after a painful breakup.

Paul, who is herself both queer and indigenous, explained in a statement,

“The idea behind this video was to do something fun while showing the resilience of the Indigenous people, particularly women and girls, which is why I chose to have the Black Belt Eagle Scout band be portrayed by young Indigenous girls. In an age where Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) are finally getting the attention they deserve, it’s important to make their strength visible. The justice around MMIW is something we should all be paying closer attention to and I hope my platform serves to heighten awareness. The girls and extras in the video are members of the Portland Two Spirit Society, a special group of LGBTQ Indigenous and Native American/Alaska Natives and the Portland All Nations Canoe Family.”
Filmed by Angel Two Bulls and co-directed by Paul, the clip can be seen below.
At the Party with my Brown Friends arrives August 30th through Saddle Creek. The follow-up to 2018’s Mother of My Children will be supported with an extensive North American tour, which includes a newly announced batch of November dates and shows opening for Devendra Banhart. Paul is also expected to perform at this weekend’s Newport Folk Festival, and her set will be streamed exclusively through Consequence of Sound Radio on TuneIn.
