Some songs beg to be background noise. Others demand attention. “Blessed in My Heels,” the latest single from Canadian artist Ger Carriere, is firmly in the second category: an anthem that struts in, makes eye contact, and dares you to look away.
The song, which is equal parts edge and sparkle, is built on the framework of glossy ’80s pop rock with just enough bite to evoke Prince at his most mischievous. Before the chorus opens up into something lighter and somewhat effortless, the verses thrust with a steely assurance. The song’s power comes from this harmony between grit and brightness. It is pulsating, lively, and completely confident.
Here, Carriere is more concerned with forging her own path than following trends. The song “Blessed In My Heels” is presented as an anthem of empowerment. What makes it work is that it doesn’t posture. It’s fierce, yes, but also playful. You hear it most in the delivery: vocals that cut with conviction while still leaving room for joy, freedom, and a sly grin.
This music was created with movement in mind. Launching alongside the song is the TikTok Strut Challenge that fits nicely with the DNA of the song. Carriere gives the impression that empowerment is dynamic, like something you can practice step by step. Its edges are further sharpened by micro-influencer collaborations arranged around the release, which propel the song into a larger cultural dialogue about confidence as both style and expression.
“Blessed In My Heels” is one of those songs you bookmark before the playlists catch up if you’re a listener who is eager to be ahead of the curve. It’s bold, unrepentant, and maybe the most obvious indication yet that Carriere’s next EP isn’t meant for background listening but rather to take center stage.
