Anna Leone

Anna Leone's new single, Once
Worth your time: Yes

Anna Leone's alluring vocals have always been the backbone of her renditions, case in point including tracks like Wondering and My soul I. In the same vein is Once, which, yet again, gives a glimpse of her vulnerability.

This offering, however, is particularly delightful and captivating, with the lyrics playing a vital role in enhancing the final product. Just like the beautiful landscapes of The Azores offer abundant space to place her in the spotlight, the lilting music too allows her vocals to dominate. It is an essential requirement in a track that discusses confronting your past, and moving ahead.
