The carrier single, which is also the album title, is available on all digital music streaming platforms beginning today. The up-and-coming music star also plans to unveil each track in the record every month.
The debut album is a collection of Lesha’s writings that represent the distinctive sides of herself. Call it an artistic manifestation of her different walks in life and how she views the world from her own point of view. The album enables Lesha to capture her innermost feelings, put them into enthralling lyrics by also integrating the mix of musical genres (from electronic pop, hip-hop, alternative, jazz, trap, and EDM) that she got gravitated to over the years.
“It honestly feels super surreal that I’m finally going to be introducing my debut album soon. These past months have been filled with challenges and learnings but I’m very excited for people to finally hear this body of work that I’ve been working so long and hard,” Lesha excitedly shares.
Each track has its own strength on a specific emotion, from reminiscing good times, feeling empowered, letting go of inhibitions to seeking love amid chaos; all those diverse emotions that can surely be relatable to the listeners. Lesha made sure that every song can stand alone as a powerful track and even stronger as an impactful part of Sun Moon Rising album.
Another piece of exciting news in store for everyone on the album is that she was also able to bring in collaborators from all around the world (producers and artists from the UK, USA, South Korea, Spain, Bahrain, and Italy) to work with her on this very special project and taking it to a global scale.
“It was a very collaborative process and it was a breath of fresh air working with these insanely creative minds. Through this record, I was able to mold my sound and really showcase my capabilities as a music producer and songwriter. I worked on this record from the backend to the front and I’m really proud of myself for that,” Lesha enthuses.
With the title track “Sun Moon Rising” dropping today, the song speaks about the strengths and weaknesses of a person’s sun, moon, and rising sign that gives fuel to a specific alter ego and how this affects the different ways they express themselves. The song revolves around Lesha’s curiosity and desire to understand all aspects of a person and why they are who they are.
The other album tracks with different global collaborators are set to drop in the next coming months. For sure, it’ll be an awesome musical treat that music streamers can excitedly look forward to.
The universe has its way of telling us to pursue your passion, do hard work, put all your heart into it and attract positivity. A true believer of the power of manifestation, Lesha is fervently practicing being in tune with the Universe and with higher self since her high school days. This belief has enabled her to sincerely build her dreams, work doubly hard, and soon, everything she manifested will come true.
“If being in the music industry is something you really want to pursue, by all means go for it and put your heart into it. Artists that have that grit and passion for what they do will definitely make it farther, so be prepared for the struggles you’ll have to face cause this industry is tougher than it looks,” she says.
“I myself started out DIYing everything as an artist (which I still do to this day) so I believe anyone could do the same as long as there is willingness to learn and there is a clear goal. There will always be people who will have opinions about you or your work which is something I learned the hard way. You have to know how to segregate the hate from constructive criticism. Keeping this in mind really helped me grow and give myself a reality check from time to time. Sometimes all you need are people who truly believe in you and your capabilities in order to succeed,” Lesha concludes.
