With a personable, unique writing style and fun alt-pop sound, Lea G has established herself as one of the UK’s most exciting emerging singer-songwriters over the last few years, building a collection of tracks that feel as immersive and emotive as they are melodic.

The artist continues this approach on her latest single ‘Empath’, a track about the strong feelings that she has and how she can often find herself lost in the feelings of others. There is a really hard-hitting edge to the sound and the emotional gravity that it holds that pairs effortlessly with the lyrics, with Lea G bringing a powerhouse vocal performance that is packed full of variation and nuance. The track and Love of My Life’ from earlier this year have shown that the artist hasn’t lost a step since the lauded release of her 2022 EP SURVIVAL MODE, and we can’t wait to hear what the future holds for her.

“I wrote EMPATH last summer when I felt like I constantly got super overwhelmed by other people ́s feelings because I was unable to separate my own emotions from theirs.” Lea says of the track. “I feel the song really helped me notice patterns within myself that I needed to heal so I could start taking better care of my own needs and not just those of others. EMPATH is a song for anyone who is very sensitive to the world around them and struggles to keep their head above water, for all those who overthink and care a lot.”
