Today, Montreal musician Ada Lea dropped the music video for Damn.
The second single is taken from the upcoming album one hand on the steering wheel the other sewing a garden (So very Fiona Apple like with long titles) which comes out on September 24, 2021 via Saddle Creek and Next Door Records.
A revealing folk-pop soft-rock tune that showcases the wonderful talent of Ada Lea.
About the track:
Damn is on one hand a collection of walking-paced, cathartic pop/folk songs, and on the other a book of heart-twisting, rear-view stories of city life.
The album is set in Montreal and each song exists as a dot on a personal history map of the city where Levy grew up. The city exists as both the location of and a character in many of these songs.
As a song of winter, opening track “damn”, kicks off the narrative with the events of a cursed New Year’s Eve party. The song feels timeless with an AM Gold groove and 7-s studio sheen.
The accompanying video, directed by Monse Muro, is beautiful. It features stunning and intimate choreography by Axelle “Ebony” Munezero and Brittney Canda. Some of the movements are elongated and smooth, while others are erratic and abrupt.
