anna leah - “She’s got this”

Finding the pulse that has been provided by the likes of Phoebe Bridgers and Lizzy McAlpine, Dublin-based singer-songwriter anna leah arrives on our blog with “She’s got this,” the title track from her upcoming EP.

The song begins with the lo-fi strums from an acoustic guitar as a gentle synth pads the underbelly of the soundscape. After a few bars, the production expands with the addition of a full rhythm section, extravagantly elevating itself to a remarkable level– a perfect fit for a tune that encourages you to believe in yourself.

This expansion of the arrangement also welcomes the lush and emotive vocal of anna leah. Her voice is confident and radio-ready, truly authentic as she delivers the reminder to embrace your inner strength. Her performance ebbs and flows, delicately and effortlessly gliding up into a falsetto and back again.

“She’s got this” is a perfect blend of folk and pop, with a bit of grit on the refrain that lets it dip its toes into the realm of indie rock. Ear candy is provided via a fantastic, reverberating guitar solo after the second chorus. Its width and depth seem to no know bounds, resounding for days.

A major highlight is the more raw and stripped-back ending of the song, as anna leah furnishes listeners with an intimate and vulnerable conclusion. Once you’ve heard “She’s got this,” we have a feeling that you will find yourselves looking forward to the rest of the upcoming EP.

About the track, anna leah adds: “This song is one of my favourites to sing live, every time I sing the chorus it feels almost therapeutic as the lyrics suggest reassurance that all is going to be well. The lyrics, in a reassuring tone, convey a powerful message of optimism and the belief that everything is destined to be well and I want everyone who listens to the song to feel the exact same, creating a shared emotional resonance that transcends the boundaries of the performance.”
