Jessica Mauboy has long been proud of her Indigenous-Australian roots. The Eurovision 2019 star continues to shine a light on the issues affecting native Australians by collaborating with acclaimed Australian rock band Midnight Oil on the new song “First Nation”. The song comes from the band’s upcoming album The Makarrata Project, which aims to highlight The Uluru Statement From The Heart that called for a ‘First Nations Voice’ to be be enshrined in the Australian Constitution. “I am so incredibly proud to be apart of this song that speaks truth of our history”, Mauboy noted. “First Nation”, which also includes a featured rap from Tasman Keith, is a soft-rock track with lyrics about Indigenous-Australians’ fight for justice and recognition: “Let’s sit down and talk about appropriation … about compensation … about reconciliation”.
