Slowcity.ca Open Mic Spotlight: Jadea Kelly

Will McGuirk November 12, 2021

By Will McGuirk

Jadea Kelly is always a fave ‘round here so happy to hear a new track from the Whitby singer/songwriter, who has been based in L.A. Yah the good ones always leave, but the distance is felt and her latest single, ‘Driveway’ is about that feeling, that longing for friends, family, familiarity. Its a longing once felt by folks continents apart but such were the guidelines for the Covid, it is one now shared between folks who were sometimes only a driveway apart.

“Driveway was written during one of my first trips to LA and sat on a hard drive for years amidst my touring schedule. When the pandemic rolled around, and I was physically unable to see my family in Canada, the song returned with a deeper meaning. Like many, I longed for the simplicity of home, a quiet street, the seasons and the ones I love. More than ever,” says Kelly

So yes a song which was written some time back takes on a deeper resonance and with a voice that resonates like only Jadea Kelly’s can.
