Top Pick: Lea Lea Delivers an Impressive Debut Album

In the midst of singers twerking, rappers still boosting about themselves and DJ’s reminding everyone to throw their hands in the air, listening to music often times feel like a bombardment of constant advertising and commercials , with only 15 minutes of an actual show. Yet every now and then, an artist has the courage to push through the filler and deliver true substance. London based singer Lea Lea has taken the ambitious step to do just that. Using dark electronica, soul, ragga, bass and dub as the backdrop to add impact to often critical topics, Lea Lea’s self-titled album is an impressive debut that slices through much of the madness and mediocrity of the current state of music.
