Joe’ is well worth the wait as Leila shows how much she has grown as a songwriter. The new song combines her otherworldly vocals with a melodic bassline and crunching guitar chords.”
– Ciaran Brennan, Hotpress
“Songs such as Look So Sweet (the B-side to her new single, Little Lady Blues), I Hope You’ll Be Wanting To See Me Again and I Got Feeling are strong compositions and Leila Jane performs them with passion and attention to detail.”
– GoldenPlec
‘’We heard new Irish talent; Leila Jane is her name and the song was called ‘Look So Sweet’; one to watch me thinks.’’
– Cathal Murray, RTE Radio 1
“’Dance with Me’ marks a stylistically compelling step from Leila Jane as the indie inflections of the track melt with the artist’s folk inspirations to create something that moves things forward”
– The Last Mixed Tape
Leila Jane is an Alternative Pop singer-songwriter based in Dublin whose song writing takes on the spirit of her early blues influences. Imelda May believed Leila’s music had a unique sense of heart and therefore chose her to be the recipient of the ‘Imelda May Scholarship’ at BIMM Institute Dublin.
Leila has been singing and fronting her own bands for over ten years. She has played at festivals such as Electric Picnic, Glastonbury and Body & Soul.
Videos of her busking on Grafton Street are often featured on Dublin City Today’s Youtube channel.
Her most recent releases include an EP called Revolve Evolve which Nialler 9 acknowledged as ‘’showing her affinity for 60s alt-folk and classic harmonic sounds’’, her single ‘‘Wild’’ which was shortlisted to represent Ireland in last year’s Eurovision and her recent remix of ‘’Poison’’, which N Magazine described as capturing ‘’the rage of an abused angel in a realm without justice’’. Her upcoming single ‘’Love Will Come Rushing’’ is set to be released on 14th February 2024.
Love Will Come Rushing is a song about knowing your worth and holding out for the love that you deserve. Leila Jane co-produced the track with Sam Stevenson (Still Searching), blending a thumping bass with world music sounds for a hard-hitting otherworldly vibe. MP3 Hugger described it as having ‘’both an elegance and an urgency’’ with an ‘’ethereal vocal amid a loose beat manifesto’’.
