Recently the Toronto musician Adaline dropped the lyrical music video for Brave.
A vulnerable soul baring electro-pop tune.
About the track by Adaline:
“Is it worth the cost to unveil your authentic self, even if it means potentially losing the people you love?
Even if it means forever altering the perception of you in the minds of the people who matter most? These are the kinds of painful, vulnerable and anxious questions grappled with in this coming out ballad.
My mother and I have always been very affectionate with each other.
But I also knew the narrative of queer people being an abomination, disgusting and immoral was a part of her religious, political, and cultural upbringing.
I questioned whether she would hold me or “kiss my face” the same after finding out.
The thought of losing our special connection was almost enough to keep me in the closet.
These fears and questions are so often repeated to me in conversations with other people considering coming out, I wanted to give a voice to their feelings and concerns.”
