“Indica” is a beautiful masterpiece off of Drea’s debut EP “Ocean Ave.” As a child, Drea spent most of her summers on the shores of Cape Cod and has since romanticized the ocean. “It makes me feel overwhelmingly calm, grounded, and reminds me of my truest self. My goal for this project was to evoke that same feeling for anyone who listened,” said Drea.
We are not even sure if we could find the right words to describe the charm of this song, it’s on another level and it draws a new emotion with every listens. Drea has an incredible talent when it comes to singing and songwriting, she has a voice that will stick long with you and it’s could be one of the most charming and pure voices you could ever hear! The minute we heard her voice we fell in love with it and we couldn’t get it out of our heads. Her lyrics and melodies mesh together perfectly, also the atmosphere of this song is very unique. Drea is a professional artist and we are very excited to see where her career will go within the next months!
WHAT THE ARTIST SAYS ABOUT THIS SONG:
“In Indica, I use substances to explain a relationship I was experiencing. Indica is a strain that makes us feel mellow, relaxed, pensive, sedated. Lyrically, it is written about two people who may love each other, but are just too different to be compatible. A fleeting relationship “savor your kiss like sand, running through my fingertips.”
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Andrea LeClerc, a.k.a Drea, a classic, take-no-shit Boston girl, has a voice that makes you stop in your tracks and catch your breath. A middle-child between two boys, the only daughter to a strong Portuguese mother and an opinionated Catholic Father, it’s no surprise where Drea gets her fiery personality from. Her voice, an amalgamation of her influences no doubt, but, if I had to describe it, I’d say her voice has an equal mix of Joss Stone’s grit, Mariah Carey’s agility, and Ari Lennox’s milk-and-honey-rich vibrato. Some of her earliest memories are her dad playing Aretha Franklin’s “Son of a Preacher Man,” Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You,” and of course a lot of Amy Winehouse. She began taking singing lessons at the age of 5 so, naturally, her influences reflected that of her teachers at the time: most notably, Ella Fitzgerald and Etta James.
