Lydia Ainsworth Shares “Into The Blue” Video

Lydia Ainsworth shares the vide to, "Into The Blue"

Toronto-based artist, composer and producer Lydia Ainsworth just released her gorgeous sophomore album last month, and today she unveils the video for “Into The Blue.” “‘Into The Blue’ is about reaching the very bottom of one’s emotional depths to achieve purification from fear,” according to Ainsworth.

Lydia Ainsworth will bring Darling of the Afterglow on the road starting this week for her first-ever headlining tour throughout North America. To get a sneak peek of what to expect, watch the stunning live videos of Ainsworth performing “Afterglow” and “WLCM.”

Darling of the Afterglow is Lydia Ainsworth’s second record and follow up to the Juno-nominated and critically acclaimed Right From Real (2014). The album features a team of local Toronto musicians, woven into Ainsworth’s programming, samples and string arrangements. “I usually have to be out of my element to get that spark of inspiration,” she says of songwriting. The songs on Darling of the Afterglow were all begun away from home, before being brought to fruition in her hometown.

Mixing yearning pop with other-worldly synthetic sounds, plush classical settings and weird-gothic R&B influences, Lydia Ainsworth’s new album is a richly imagined, richly felt work of future-pop classicism: an album of intimate emotions projected in heightened widescreen. The stunning, 11-track Darling of the Afterglow showcases a great leap forward from Right from Real’s already prodigious experi-pop riches.
