Jadea Kelly announces her fifth studio album, Weather Girl set for release on October 11th
Jadea Kelly announces her fifth studio album, Weather Girl set for release on October 11th. Jadea also shares the latest single and live video featuring Ken Yates to coincide with the album announcement – “Lake Louise”.
Metaphorically, the album title, Weather Girl, represents Jadea’s personal ability to withstand and weather all of life’s changes. It is a nickname coined by Jadea’s tour mate and collaborator, Ryan O’Reilly who used it to describe her debilitating barometric pressure headaches. Any big change in any weather pattern unfortunately sends Jadea into a nausea-induced ocular migraine. Weather Girl also jokingly represents her superhero alter ego with ‘the worst superpower ever’ i.e. predicting storms via migraines and nausea.
Speaking on the new single,
“Lake Louise”, Jadea explains, “Lake Louise is a gorgeous glacial mountainous lake that I have only ever witnessed in the winter. The frozen turquoise blue seasonal version of Lake Louise came to mind at the end of a recent situationship. If there are seasons to love, I tend to chase after the arms length restricted winter version. You can feel the potential flowing underneath, but they ultimately do not choose you.”
Jadea spends her time writing and living between rural Ontario Canada and Los Angeles CA. Awarded Contemporary Singer of the Year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards, her music has been featured on Lifetime Network feature ‘No One Would Tell'(Lifetime Network), ‘Station 19’ (Hulu / ABC). and the 2017 CBC Rio Paralympics Terry Fox Tribute. Jadea has co-written and toured with the likes of Whitehorse, Catherine MacLellan, Royal Wood, The Good Lovelies, The Digging Roots, and Joey Landreth.
