Lucie Idlout (born Tatanniq Lucie d'Argencourt) is a Canadian rock singer.
An Inuk from Pond Inlet, Nunavut, is the daughter of Leah Idlout-Paulson and granddaughter of Joseph Idlout, an Inuk hunter who was the subject of a National Film Board documentary, Between Two Worlds, in 1990 and was one of several of Lucie's family members of Inuit hunters depicted on the Canadian two-dollar bill in the Scenes of Canada series of banknote designs.
She released her first album, E5-770, My Mother’s Name, in 2004. The title is an allusion to the former Canadian government practice of identifying Inuit by disc numbers instead of surnames. Though she had already garnered national and international attention, it was when she opened for The White Stripes at their concert in Iqaluit on June 27, 2007, that the media began to truly take notice.
Her second album, Swagger, was released in February 2009. The album includes "Lovely Irene", which was later reworked with a children's choir and renamed "Angel Street". Both versions of the song are available at iTunes. An early demo version of that song had previously inspired Iqaluit mayor Elisapee Sheutiapik to launch a campaign to call attention to the issue of domestic violence in Canada, by asking Canadian cities to name a city street Angel. To date there are eight cities with street names bearing the title "Angel" after this ambitious project.
In fall 2009, she recorded a new song, "Road to Nowhere", for CBC Radio 2's Great Canadian Song Quest.
Filmmaker Shane Belcourt also cited Idlout, a close friend of his sister Christi, as an influence on the themes of his 2007 film Tkaronto.
