Sample The Sky

Widening Circles

Hailing originally from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, by way of Manchester, and now settled in North London, this young singer-songwriter and guitarist enjoys a plethora of eclectic influences. Léa’s musical output is a smorgasbord of experimental styles fusing aspects of soul, high life, bossa-nova, jazz and reggae. Drawing inspiration from reggae icon Bob Marley, and Malian artists such as Fatoumata Diawara and Rokia Traorè, as well as Nigerian born UK soul superstar Sade, her music largely talks about life, love, peace and freedom while reflecting on the state of the world. 

Heights Of Love is a song about unrequited affection that focuses on Léa reflecting on a past situation-ship. The song is a fusion of soul, jazz and bossa nova influences. The singer's heartfelt lyrics explore the vulnerable state that one feels while going through rejection, making it a relatable, but at the same time an instantly catchy love song. At the time of writing it, Léa was enthralled by albums such as Getz/Gilberto and Nouvelle Vague’s In A Manner Of Speaking, as well as the burgeoning London jazz scene she is a part of.

hmm je sais dans l'rétroviseur ils sont là
ils ont le seum on verra demain qui sera
hmm j'ai vuuu rétroviseur ils sont là
ils ont le seum on verra demain qui saura

qui aura tort ?
je connais dja la réponse 
au fond de mon coeur
de jour en jour je compte
sur mes reves, pour m'faire avancer
j'ai déjà encaissé tout ça
j'ai déjà encaissé tout ça

j'ai déjà fait face, 1
à vrai dire 
tous les jours j'fais face, 1
à vrai dire 
tous les jours jm'efface, 1
pck dans l'monde c'est trop néfaste
quand t'a la main sur l'coeur
quand t'a la main sur l'coeur
j'prend trop les choses à coeur
peut-etre
j'sais pas
enfin en vrai si je le sais
c'est juste que je ne veux pas l'assumer
pourquoi tu ne veux pas l'assumer ?
tu te parle tous les jours, tu te connais non ?
oh oui c'est vrai mais tu connais
tous les jours je me lève et je renais

apprends à connaitre
chaque aspect de toi
chaque aspect de toi
et puis
tu verra qui aura tort

je connais dja la réponse 
au fond de mon coeur
de jour en jour je compte
sur mes reves, pour m'faire avancer
j'ai déjà encaissé tout ça
j'ai déjà encaissé tout ça...

Music for a short film, theme and variation 1. By the way, when I uploaded the track, years ago, it still sounded decent. I don't know if something has changed with Soundcloud...

Theme for a short film never made
