Ria Mae was once broken up with at a traffic intersection.

The singer drew inspiration from the event to write her new song Red Light, and its only fitting that the songs video depicts a relationship between two lovers at a personal crossroads. HuffPost got an exclusive look at the video, in which real-life couple Kristen Kage Griesbach and Bronwyn Hope star as two women who know its time to move on, even as they continue to relive memories of wintery walks and nights on the town.

Mae, who identifies as gay, said she believes the time is right to explore queer themes in pop music. Her 2016 video for Gold similarly portrayed a passionate, if troubled, same-sex relationship.

The success of Gold which one critic hailed as a rare example of a music video where a lesbian relationship doesnt exist solely for the titillation of straight men meant that Mae wasnt concerned about whether she should be honest about her sexuality in Red Light.

I want to put out content that I wish I had access to when I was younger, the singer-songwriter, who hails from Halifax, Nova Scotia, told HuffPost. As an adult, I can definitely say, Oh, thats why it feels weird to hold my girlfriends hand, because I never saw it. And when I did see it, it wasnt represented in a way that made it OK. It made me feel worse about it [so] its important to show that Im not trying to hide that part of me.
