As a captivating writer from Los Angeles who heralds the undying influence of 20th century Americana music, Eve Adams’s folk-noir music tells stories of shadowy dramas unfolded behind walls plastered in equal parts of violence and romance.
Eve spent her formative years traveling to and from her family farm in the tiny town of Colcord, Oklahoma. Inspired by the pastoral landscapes and the nuanced characters she grew up around, her whimsical tales depict a world that is familiar yet surreal, haunted by apparitions.
Eve’s coming of age coincided with her departure to Montreal at the age of 18. A fortuitous meeting with saxophonist Military Genius led to the recording of her first album “In Hell” (2017)- Part I of their “Divine Romance” trilogy. While writing Part II, the blossoming creative relationship was cut short when Eve had to return to California due to a family crisis. During this time of uncertainty, she self-produced and released her second album “Candy Colored Doom” in 2019.
In the emotional wake of a tragedy, Eve rejoined Military Genius in Vancouver to finally complete the long-awaited Part II. Her most recent work, the single titled “You’re Not Wrong” taken from the forthcoming album, is a wistful ballad reminding us of the beauty and power in subtlety.
“‘You’re Not Wrong’ was written as an anthem of surrender,” says Adams. “During a dark night of my soul, I was yearning for these kinds of messages, listening over and over to the heartbroken torch songs of the 1930s, full of their grand symbolism and unapologetic melancholy, and finding levity and comfort in the soundtrack of the Wizard of Oz. From that place, I began writing. What started as a simple message from Dorothy to the Scarecrow has expanded over time into a more universal statement. To me, ‘You’re Not Wrong’ is a reminder to look to the sky, to nature, for guidance and to surrender to the Universe when you need to.”
From the sophisticated saxophone trailing in the soundscape to sweeping violins and Adams’ delicate but emotionally-tinged vocals, this song is an ode to the beauty that exists in the raw emotion of sorrow.
