Toronto R&B singer-songwriter/Dwayne Gretzky member Lydia Persaud has announced her new album Moody31 will be arriving April 29 through Next Door Records.
Persaud hopes that the album — an amalgamation of ten years of music playing experience — "celebrates and validates the human experience in all its contradictions," she said in a release.
"...How new love can be experienced alongside deep loss, how one can crave solitude and connection, simultaneously," Persaud continued. "It's beautiful to embrace all of our moods — it's living."
The artist brings all of those intentions into the record's newest single "Good for Us," a "celebratory anthem outlining the importance of space and self-reflection in order to make room for clarity."
Featuring backing vocals by fellow Torontonian solo artists James Baley and Kyla Charter, the song arrives alongside an iPhone-shot music video directed by Josh Rille.
"The song is about taking care of ourselves and knowing when to choose freedom from spaces that no longer serve us," Persaud said. "I was very thankful to capture laughter and joy amongst the people that make me feel very loved, as it puts a spotlight on the energy we should be giving and receiving."
