Montreal’s Luella Releases Captivating New Video

Luella’s soulful dream-pop sound is most notable for its catchy baselines, crisp vocals, and honest lyrics. On her new single, “Peach Ginger Tea,” Luella compares her past relationship to an ice cold glass of peach ginger tea. The idea always sounds lovely on a scorching hot summer afternoon, but after a couple of sips, you realize it’s never been all that sweet and this hot summer weather isn’t going to last forever. 

The new video for the song is pure effervescent summertime candyfloss.

“The lyrics drawback to a time when I was dating‘the perfect guy,” says Luella. “He was incredibly attractive, with a genuine kindness that stood out from others and yet I couldn’t shake the fact we lacked a deeper connection. It seemed as though we only loved the idea of each other. I felt terrible for admitting it, and spent a summer distracting myself with the newfound freedoms of my late teens, trying to find ways to romanticize the relationship I was unhappy in.”

Luella’s sophomore album, Summer Bummer, a testament to her final years of girlhood, promises to be bolder with a newfound confidence all while staying true to her trademark vulnerability. A fusion of earnest lyrics and warm melodies, Luella captures the bittersweet essence of fleeting summers and the complexities of first love and inevitable heartbreak.
