Ivy Adara Releases New Pop Single "Stranger"

Australian-born and Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter Ivy Adara has released a catchy, confessional single that’s perfectly fit for the times. 

“Stranger” is a self reflective piece, giving Ivy’s outside perspective of herself. She uses an acoustic guitar to give it that sincere element that comes straight from the heart, but still incorporates pop influences to keep the tone light. Her classical background brings in a raw element that involves a warm rhythm and ethereal vocals. 

“‘Stranger’ was one of those songs that just fell out. In one moment, everything I had been feeling over a couple of months finally made sense,” said Ivy Adara. “I had been completely detached from reality, almost as if I was floating above myself, watching me live a life that was so far from who I really wanted to be deep inside. I was feeling so depressed my dad came to visit me in LA all the way from Sydney.

For the first time in my life, I could acknowledge that I felt like a stranger in my own skin. I fell on my bed and wrote the lyrics in a number of minutes. I picked up my pen and wrote down some chords. I picked up my guitar, started singing and ‘Stranger’ fell out, like it had been living inside me forever. I was just a passenger. The song was not a part of me, I was a part of the song.”

With multiple collaborations with the likes of Selena Gomez, Rita Ora, and Jennifer Lopez under her belt, Ivy has set herself on a path of success. “Stranger” is just the beginning of what seems to be an exciting lineup of releases for the songstress.
