A pair of acclaimed Montreal acts have new albums this week.
Montreal singer-songwriter Ada Lea (Alexandra Levy) releases when i paint my masterpiece is a generous 16-song collection spotlighting her lyrical prowess. The album follows years of gruelling touring, after which Levy focused on community and renewal, going back to school to study painting and poetry and learning to teach — all of which inspires the new album.
Ada Lea begins a U.K. tour later this month, followed by an extensive North American tour in September. Tickets will be available here. She also plays an album release party this evening (Aug. 8) at Phonopolis in Montreal, and appears at Festival de Musique Émergente) in Rouyn-Noranda, PQ, on Aug. 31.
