Montreal’s Ada Lea has returned with a video for her new track, “hurt.”
The gloomy new song, which marks Ada Lea’s first new music since 2020’s woman, here EP, channels the snowy, frigid Montreal winter, as Ada Lea sings lines like, “Take a walk or take none at all/ Get on a bus back to Montreal/ Tell my friends or say nothing at all.” The accompanying Monse Muro-directed video is packed with desaturated shots of Ada Lea sitting at a table on a beach and performing along to the track.
“I wanted to find a way to communicate complicated feelings using the simplest language possible,” Ada Lea explains. “I came with a narrative and removed almost every detail, so as not to obfuscate the feeling – but left it open in terms of a resolution: was this hurt necessarily a bad thing?”
