Montreal's Alexandra Levy, who performs as Ada Lea, has drawn the material for one hand on the steering wheel the other sewing a garden out of her everyday life. Each song represents a moment of personal history in her hometown (an actual map indicating their locations accompanies the physical product). Lea tours listeners through an at-times harrowing journey of self-discovery as she brings her journals to life. It's a voyage she began on her 2019 debut album what we say in private. The constant self-examination and introspection of her lyrics are either claustrophobic and insular or the key to her art depending on your taste for overthinking and oversharing. Either way, Lea's world is never boring. In the opener "damn" where every year gets "a little bit darker," and the chorus ends with "I've had it with this place/ We've all gone insane," she's agitated with life—or is she? The lines between fiction and autobiography constantly blur but it doesn't really matter because of her ability to create layered and accessible musical settings for her telling exposures.
Most impressive, Lea is also an instrumental prodigy who plays much of the music on the album (including percussion, bass, guitar and various keys), with assistance from drummer/engineer/producer Marshall Vore, guitarist Harrison Whitford, and several others. Demoed in Banff, Alberta, Canada, and recorded in Los Angeles, one hand, has an intimate sense of sonics, her voice being slightly forward in the mix with instrumental textures close behind. The attention to detail here is obsessive and rewarding: the bass part in "oranges;" the motorcycle-engine-to-keyboard rev that opens "can't stop me from dying;" the violin accents in "backyard."
While the experimentalism of the album's instrumental track, "and my newness spoke to your newness and it was a thing of endless"—a lo-fi field recording that opens with prodigious tape hiss—is a palette cleanser, it's in the album's second half that's Lea's music takes precedence. In "my love 4 you is real," Lea's voice, deceptively strong and the perfect vehicle for her ever-sifting lyrics, illuminates the tune's grand ambitions. While the music in "backyard" turns momentarily dreamy, the lyrics show perspective and flashes of wisdom: "There is something to be said/ About how we neglect/ The things that are right in front of us every moment/ For the promise of something better/ Far away/ Is more about imagination than of escape." While one hand, like her debut, is still about the kind of heartbreak and insecurity that appears in the closing tune "hurt" ("Somebody hurt me badly/ Now I'm stuck in a rut/ Now I don't know my body") her music at least is growing in promising ways. © Robert Baird/Qobuz
