Today, Montreal-based musician Alexandra Levy, better known by her moniker Ada Lea, has unveiled the music video for “the evergreen, the birch,” featuring MEGGO.
The second and final single from her upcoming EP, the end is a wave, “the evergreen, the birch” arrives just ahead of the EP’s release this Wednesday via Saddle Creek (outside Canada) and Next Door Records (Canada).
Following the more expansive sounds that Ada Lea has explored throughout her work, this track brings things back to a much more intimate and naturalistic space. “the evergreen, the birch” is a delicate indie acoustic folk-pop song that feels warm, understated, and deeply personal.
Built around gentle acoustic instrumentation, Ada Lea’s vocals sit comfortably within the stripped-back arrangement, allowing the song’s emotional weight to come through without feeling overly polished or dramatic.
There is a beautiful sense of closeness to the track, as though the listener has been invited into a quiet moment rather than simply presented with another indie-pop single.
The addition of MEGGO adds another layer to the song, complementing Ada Lea’s intimate delivery while giving the track a subtle conversational quality. Together, their voices help create a sense of tenderness that fits perfectly with the song’s organic instrumentation.
The accompanying music video continues that naturalistic aesthetic, reinforcing the song’s earthy and intimate atmosphere.
Rather than overwhelming the music, the visuals work alongside it, giving “the evergreen, the birch” a quiet visual identity that matches its reflective sound.
With “the evergreen, the birch,” Ada Lea returns to the softer side of her songwriting.
It is an understated, beautifully arranged indie folk-pop track that lets its acoustic textures, vocals, and emotional intimacy do the heavy lifting.
As the final preview of the end is a wave, “the evergreen, the birch” leaves listeners with a fittingly gentle introduction to what Ada Lea’s forthcoming EP has in store
