Michal Leah - “Used To It”
“Used To It” is the latest track from Chicagoan Michal Leah and once you hear these vocals, it will completely restore your faith in the newer generation of artists. Leah has such fantastic command and control over her voice that if you told us “Used To It” was being sung by the likes of Brandi Carlile or Adele, we would have no reason to doubt you.
Seriously. This is one of those occasions where you hear an artist and walk away, convinced that they are either A) possessed by the soul of a late great singer or B) the reincarnation of said late great singer. And though this is a genre that we do not often cover on the blog, we are hoping that you press play on this thing to get an idea of the talent we are describing– and if not for the talent, for the empathy found in the lyrics, as Leah describes the inability to get over losing someone, but, instead, simply get used to their absence.
It is also quite possible that you’ve already heard of Michal Leah and we are merely late to the game, as she has accumulated millions of streams on her previous releases– while rapidly closing in on a million monthly listeners. I suppose now we should feel stupid for only just discovering her music, but, here we are, still hoping that you’ll listen to “Used To It,” a track to which Leah adds: “I think it’s so important to realize that sometimes healing takes time and just because you feel healed from a heartbreak, doesn’t mean you are over that person. There is no step-by-step guidebook to getting over a breakup. I want people to listen to this song and know that they aren’t alone.”
