Singer-Songwriter Carol Ades Gets Personal On New Single “Crying During Sex” From Upcoming Debut EP

After a break-up in 2018 left her feeling raw and inspired, New Jersey-born singer-songwriter Carol Ades took to music as an outlet of expression, not afraid to let herself become unhinged from insecurities and anxiety. In the footsteps of Japanese House and Phoebe Bridgers, and inspired by the Netflix series “Fleabag”, Ades creates striking indie music that bring out the relatability of storytelling and song.

“My best friends call me Carol,” she says. “It feels a bit grandma-ish, which I love. I feel like I’m a 60-year-old in a 25-year-old’s body. Ades is my middle name and makes me feel so close to who I was as a kid. I didn’t make up new name, since the music is so personal. Carol Ades feels like the ‘wiser voice’ in the back of my head who helps me solve problems. So many songs poured out of me over the last year as a direct result of processing change. Now feels like the right time to put out into the world.”

While she has helped pen songs for a number of artists, Ades is set to release her debut collection of music in the near future, and has shared her personal track “Crying During Sex”. Through diary-entry lyrics and crisp, lo-fi instrumentation that evolves into dynamic indie rock, Ades lets her emotions get messy on the new single. “I want fans to listen to these songs and feel like, ‘Oh shit, I really needed to hear that’ or ‘That’s what I was feeling this morning, but I couldn’t figure out the words to describe it’,” Carol Ades says. “I’m going to keep building a world around a community of people who feel like me and want to help each other through hard things.”
