Hear the Anne with an E actor s venture into music
Published May 13, 2021 Sad in Toronto is Lia Pappas-Kemps melancholy realization that sadness can t be outrun. A family affair, the Anne with an E actor s new single was produced remotely in collaboration with her cousin, Elia Pappas. The atmospheric acoustic track emphasizes monument-sized anecdotal details, styled after Pappas-Kemps songwriting heroes like Joni Mitchell and Taylor Swift.
The song finds Pappas-Kemps collecting passport stamps from Austria to Paris to New York City as grief follows her around the world; blue but in a different continent. Like her own globetrotting, Sad in Toronto returns to its minor home-key of Toronto s grey skyline, time and time again. The relief of escape turns out to be only temporary: the sad and lonely muzak themes are playing everywhere Pappas-Kemps goes.
