NEW FULL-LENGTH RECORD SET FOR RELEASE IN MARCH
FEATURING PREVIOUSLY RELEASED SINGLE DRIVEWAY

“…one of the shining jewels in the crown of Canadian songwriters…” – Tom Power, CBC

TORONTO, ON – December 10, 2021 – With a brand new studio album on the horizon, award-winning singer-songwriter, Jadea Kelly, is thrilled to share another new track from the record – Any Old Boat. A beautiful love song, Any Old Boat heartwarmingly declares, “any old boat will do, long as it’s me and you.” Listen here.

“I wrote this song several years ago while living and working in Prince Edward County, Canada,” reflects Jadea. “It was one of the most beautiful summers of my life, largely because of a close-knit group of friends and the PEC musical community. I wrote this song in probably 30 minutes while nannying.”

The song is accompanied by an equally as touching video, created by Jodi Sandler, and featuring the track’s guest vocalists – Sweet Alibi – as animated mermaids! Have a look here.

Any Old Boat follows the previously released singles, Every Little Piece of You (featuring Berlin artist, Ryan O’Reilly) and Driveway – which was accompanied by a beautiful rooftop video, filmed in 2020 in LA with award-winning Canadian francophone director, Nathaniël Siri. Watch here. Siri created a film festival rave-review pandemic short, called Willie In The Sky, on the same rooftop, which earned him numerous awards including Best Director and Best Cinematographer at the LA Sun Film Festival in 2020 and the Award of Excellence in Cinematography from the Montreal Independent Film Festival.
