Leah Wilcox - “just a bore.”
Leah Wilcox is a Derbyshire singer-songwriter whose hazy, earthy sound blends British Countrygaze with Indie Rock and Ambient Folk, offering soulful, raw vocals and heartfelt lyrics — and on her latest single, “just a bore.”, she presents a deep, soulful listen with its soft, moody pianos and acoustic basses that capture your attention from the get go. The song is dotted by the gentle pulse of the pianos chords as Leah lets her voice flow effortlessly through the song — and as we enter the chorus sections, the energy opens up quite nicely as Leah hits her higher registers, and the refrains are what bring this song full circle, ultimately.
