Lindsay Kay

Canadian singer-songwriter Lindsay Kay creates music that is "ethereal, melancholy and dabbles in unreality while keeping gracefully attached to this world," says New Sick Music.

In 2018, the Berklee College of Music graduate released her debut album For the Feminine, by the Feminine - a meditation on themes of femininity, written and produced solely by Kay. The album was made entirely by a female-identifying team – every role was filled by a woman. Uplifting, connecting and employing women in the largely male-dominated music industry is something Kay is passionate about. For the Feminine has been called "a manifesto of solidarity and inclusion," by No Depression and "a record that gives comfort in hearing one’s own experiences mirrored back, and there is solace in knowing we are not alone in our pain and restlessness," by For Folk's Sake.

Kay has staged multimedia and interdisciplinary performances all over North America and Europe, incorporating dance and movement, light installations and stage design, and elaborate costuming. She is currently based in Paris, France where she runs Atelier Rose -- creative writing and songwriting workshops for Anglophones in the French capital -- and is at work on her sophomore album.

Her new single Tired, Sick, Sad is a vulnerable depiction of a longing to return to a former home, written and produced again by Kay. The song's visual companion, out March 21, is a collection of snapshots, memories, and small moments filmed by Kay in LA.
