Montreal-based musician Ada Lea has shared “bob dylan’s 115th haircut,” the fourth and final single ahead of her upcoming album when i paint my masterpiece, which arrives this Friday via Saddle Creek Records (outside Canada) and Next Door Records (Canada).
“bob dylan’s 115th haircut” is a dreamy folk-pop tune that drifts between nostalgia and introspection.
With soft instrumentation and Ada Lea’s signature poetic lyricism, the track nods to Dylan-esque storytelling while remaining grounded in her intimate and contemporary sound.
It’s a gentle yet evocative closer to the album’s rollout—offering a final glimpse into the sonic and emotional world she’s about to unveil.
About the track by Alexandra:
“Sometimes I get into these moods where I feel like there will always be a gap between what I want to say, and what I actually end up writing. I start comparing myself.
The mood that evening was comparing myself to Bob Dylan.
And why not? In order to pick myself up off the floor after saying things like ‘I could never write a song like Bob Dylan,’ which of course, is true, I had to reverse the thought ‘could he write one like me?’ Whether or not that was a good thing, it was something.”
On the track, she sings, ‘Bob Dylan couldn’t have written this song/ Not even if he wanted to, not even just for fun.’
