What happens when you blend soul, pop, gospel, and folk together? How do you contain the youthfulness of today’s generation and the legitimacy of yesterday’s legacy in one place? It all occurs when you take one listen to Leah Smith. Her sound is one that transcends genres, race, and time, reaching music lovers of all ages.

Leah Smith brings back the charismatic charm that good music once possessed.

This 20-year-old singer/songwriter/musician Leah Smith, and former member of Israel & New Breed, has a message to get across and does so via various musical stylings. From acoustic melodies, to heavy hitting beats, Leah delivers it all. Her voice effortlessly transitions in and out of high octaves, and her music moves from ballads to hip-hop inspired, upbeat tempos with ease.

The highly anticipated solo release from singer/songwriter Leah Smith will soon be available to all. The BEAUTIFULLY MADE EP is a project that speaks to every aspect of a person. In the words of Smith,the message that she wishes to convey through her music is that “real, living hope is accessible to all.”

Smith is definitely an artist to watch.

If you’ve been looking for some real, feel good music – then look no further. I love Leah’s sound. Her voice is beautiful. It’s so crisp and refreshing.

So, hear these tracks not just with your ears, but with your heart – as the message Leah conveys in her music is one that will definitely have you going into this week ready to overcome any and everything that comes your way!

“Nothing’s gonna stop me from trying anymore. No, nothing’s gonna keep me from fighting anymore…”

Don’t give up the fight folks! Happy Monday!
