Lyrah's "In The Leaves" will leave you speechless, stream the artist's new single here

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

This week our attention is on Lyrah’s brand new single “In The Leaves”. Showcasing a soothing, piano driven pop song infused with warm undertones, bouncy kick drums, and led by a beautiful, heartfelt lyrical experience. “In The Leaves” is one of those rare gems that’ll make you experience both heartache and joy simultaneously. A yearning for more and less out of life.

I wrote this song about a dream I had before I decided to quit my stable, full-time job. 

In the dream I kept waking up outside, like on the sidewalk in San Francisco and in the leaves by a road. I kept choosing that over my bed or car, and it felt surprisingly calm when I’d wake up outside of my home. 

I had a session with Benji of Slenderbodies and we talked about this dream and how it seemed to mirror my life choice of staying in the comfort of a full time job or leaving and being satisfied with less. 

I quit the job and I kept the song.

— Lyrah

Lyrah demands more from her audience. She’s an artist willing to go the extra mile to tell the stories most important to her. Documenting the complicated nature of life while exploring every feeling and emotion that comes to light. From her storytelling to her visual and creative direction, Lyrah is truly something special.

Sleeping Lion's new single explores post-breakup selfishness, stream "Hurt Nobody" here

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Looking for something to brighten up your day? Pop-adjacent duo Sleeping Lion have a brand new single out that we’re thrilled to share with you today. Titled “Hurt Nobody”, the track explores post-breakup selfishness, a feeling many of us know all too well. Topped with funky undertones, the track quickly grabs you and takes you for a ride.

"'Hurt Nobody' explores post-breakup selfishness with a vibe that is almost too-energetic & funky. The lyrics over-dramatize that state of emotional carelessness as if it were a crime movie - weaving the bouncy instrumentals with cinematic elements including a fake movie quote, 'Hollywood' sound effects, and a honky-tonk piano solo that sounds as if it were playing at the dive bar you found yourself in after an evening of bad decisions." — Sleeping Lion

“Hurt Nobody” is an infectious, upbeat tune that blends jazzy piano melodies, warm bass stabs, and hypnotizing lyrics… it’s safe to say you really can’t go wrong with this little gem.
