Canadian singer-songwriter Lindsay Kay creates music that is "ethereal, melancholy, and dabbles in unreality while keeping gracefully attached to this world," says New Sick Music. On October 5, 2018, the Berklee College of Music graduate released her debut, full-length album For the Feminine, by the Feminine - an 8 song meditation on themes of femininity and womanhood, written and produced by Kay herself. The album was made entirely by a female-identifying team – something Kay is extremely proud of and is passionate about continuing to prioritize in her work moving forward. Every role, from studio musicians to engineers to album artwork design to mastering to PR to music video crew, was filled by a woman. The album explores themes of seeking faith, the ways in which women make themselves small to make space for the male counterparts, toxic masculinity, the goddess-like power in being a feminine being, consent, and more.

In 2019, For the Feminine won Kay an Independent Music Award for her rendition of “Lush Life,” and the music video for her song “Too” - directed by Anastasia Lebedeva and art-directed by Kay herself - was an award-winner at the Calcutta International Film Festival, Open World Toronto Film Festival, ARFF Barcelona International Awards, Feel The Reel Film Festival, and was an official selection in the Cleveland Film Festival, Newport Beach Film Festival, Bellingham Music Festival, Pentedatillo Film Festival, and several more. For the Feminine, by the Feminine has been called "a manifesto of solidarity and inclusion," by No Depression and "a record that gives comfort in hearing one’s own experiences mirrored back, and there is solace in knowing we are not alone in our pain and restlessness," by For Folk's Sake. Kay has staged multimedia and interdisciplinary performances all over the world, incorporating dance and movement, light and stage design, and elaborate costuming into her concerts. She has been an artist in residence at JIWAR Creation and Society in Barcelona, The Banff Creative Arts Centre in Alberta, Canada, and La Porte Peinte in Burgundy, France. Frequently compared to artists like Joni Mitchell, Laura Marling, Solange, and Feist, Kay's music affecting, boundary pushing, and undeniably timely.
