SON—011: ADA
Ada follows a group of 16- to 17-year-old schoolchildren on the turbulent road to adulthood.
Quirky, outspoken Ada (15) catches the eye in her school playground. She has something cool, but inscrutable. Clearly knows what she wants and what she stands for. And when she puts a toxic boyfriend of one of her friends in his place in the playground, her name is completely made.
Both the magic and the monstrosity of teenage life are covered in this series through themes of sexual orientation, identity, bullying, body image, falling in love and friendship.
What we did:
music production. music supervision. edit/mix/master. PR. distribution in collaboration with PIAS
This soundtrack was made by Ikraaan and Jasper Bullynck, guitarist with Oscar & The Wolf.
Ada is a coming-of-age story brought through an audiovisual series, social media and real life extensions. This 360 approach to a series blurs the line between fiction and reality and creates a need to watch among young audiences.
ADA The Soundtrack can now be listened to on all music platforms.
IKRAAAN: “Writing the song for Ada felt like opening a window to her world of thoughts. I wanted to write a song that reflects her innermost thoughts and feelings, creating an emotional connection between the viewers and her character. I can proudly say that this goal has been achieved with this song!”
