Adaline's new EP is about reconciling her queerness with her evangelical upbringing
The Canadian singer-songwriter talks to Q about her latest release, Hymnal
Adaline is a Canadian singer-songwriter who grew up heavily involved in the church. Her father was a minister, she was a youth leader and she was taught that Jesus was her best friend. But what happens when you realize that your identity is at odds with the beliefs of your community?
That's the place Adaline found herself in when she realized she was queer. Now, she's channeled those complicated feelings into her new EP, Hymnal, which was inspired by her journey of reconciling her queerness and her religious upbringing, as well as the stories of hundreds of LGBTQ+ people she's met through her non-profit, Bad Believer.
Adaline joins Q guest host Talia Schlanger in studio to share her music, her story and the catharsis of finding a community outside of her religion.
