The dreamy yet intricate world of alternative pop artist Leah Rose is characterised by a blend of synth-driven soundscapes and thought-provoking lyricism. Her expansive sound is crafted through a captivating vocal style and distinct songcraft, taking influence from the likes of Lana Del Rey, Portishead and Clairo.
The world of the emerging Irish artist began to form in 2021 with the release of her momentous debut EP 'The Sun, The Moon, The Stars', featuring singles ‘Goodnight’, ’Dangerous Pink’ (featured on The Last Mixed Tape's top 50 songs of 2021) and the enchanting ‘Everything’, where Leah showcased her striking visual aesthetic in the Arts Council funded music video. In 2024, Leah focused on developing her signature dark and dreamy pop sound with the impressive output of singles, ‘Forest Wine’, ‘Emeralds’, ‘The Sting Of Rain’ and ‘Hourglass’. Last year she released the neon soaked single ‘Swimming Pool’ which was selected as RTÉ 2fm Track Of The Week.
Leah’s mesmerising stage presence is always at the forefront of her career, as evident in the live music video for ‘Emeralds’ (shot in one take on 16mm film in D-Light Studios) as well as the packed out shows she played, in venues like the Sound House and Sin e to name a few. She’s also performed at The Next Big Thing Festival and played a Co-headline show at Crowbar Terrace with fellow Irish artist Methodactor.
In February this year Leah displayed a sonic departure with guitar driven alt rock track ‘The Thread’ followed by the haunting single ‘Problem’ ahead of the full EP release on the 8th of May. With many more exciting things in the pipeline, we are only yet to see the full scale of possibility for this ambitious artist, as she thrives in her continuing evolution as a songwriter and performer.
