Dive into Darkness: Lesha's 'no heart' Redefines the Pop Music Landscape

Just when you least expect it, Gen Z’s rising rockstar and femme ingenious Lesha has recently dropped another surefire ‘hit’ single entitled ‘no heart’.  Expect this new track to offer fresh spins. Of course, coming from the fearless singer/songwriter Lesha; no doubt she’s going to dish out a different kind of vibe.

 

“no heart” is an anthem of empowerment and resilience, where the act of dancing symbolizes the ability to move forward and embrace life with a fearless heart. It embodies the essence of danceable dark pop with its combination of catchy beats and lyrics about self- discovery, and unapologetically being oneself.

                                            

“I’m really excited for this one ‘coz of how different it is from my last release GO TO HELL!!! This track is leaning more into the dark dance pop side - a genre I’m well known for. I can’t wait to perform this song live soon! I wrote this song with LA-based songwriter Krizia Carbonell and I remember us just coming up with the concept of empowerment and not caring about what anyone else thinks in reference to the ‘dancing with no heart’ line.  While the line “glowing in the dark” metaphorically symbolizes just me being an untouchable magical force or in general as someone who possesses power. It is a song that I wrote about a phase in my life where I finally decided to move on and not care about what anyone thought of me. For now I’m focusing on my upcoming plans for next year as we prepare to drop more singles and hopefully I get to perform all my new songs live soon too! A lot of my fans would agree with me on this, but I honestly can’t wait to drop another unreleased song of mine called Skin2Skin. It’s also produced by De’La and written by me in LA last year. I’ve been performing it at all my live shows this year and it organically built its own fanbase on social media! So, wait for it!” ~Lesha, Gen Z Rising Rockstar and Femme Ingenious

 

You can also say that no heart is quite different from her previous tracks.  For one, this is a very bouncy danceable anthem. The track that you listen to when you want to boost up your energy and confidence. Lesha has also incorporated different vocal chops into the song’s production working with her US based producer De’La and LA-based songwriter Krizia Carbonell.

It has always been her trademark for all the songs to share her feelings and innermost thoughts. For “no heart” lyrics, she expressed her own imperfections in the context of a troubled relationship. Her self realization led her to make amends that she wasn’t as bad as she was made to believe. While the idea of ‘dancing’ as symbolism used in the song, reflects a sense of liberation or living without holding back and just allowing herself to have control over how she moves through life.

Lesha can only attest how “no heart” has made a great impact on her life. 

2023 is almost ending but Lesha remains unstoppable in her pace moving forward and achieving a whole lot more. 

 

As a true believer of manifestation, Lesha shares what’s on her mind lately and what she is manifesting to happen sooner than you think.

Unapologetic and Unstoppable, Lesha Sets the Stage for Her Upcoming Music Releases

Lesha rocking at the recent Conquest PH event

Lesha is moving fast. Now, she becomes unstoppable with her forthcoming plans. She’s already laid out everything and has achieved awesome accomplishments spanning her six-year musical career. But she remains enthusiastic about her next moves.

After the release of her debut album “3rd Eye” in 2022, rising music artist Lesha is still rocking in the beat of her own drum.

“A lot of work was put into crafting it, the logistics of everything, and making sure everything is good to go. But once it was finally out for my fans to hear, I received so much love with 200,000 streams in the first 36 hours followed by my launch party at the Island where I got to perform the complete album for the first time. The Lesha I am now has become more unapologetic, I feel free to speak my mind and communicate my feelings through my songs, I am also more driven than ever and ready to take my music to a whole new level. That kind of daily exercise really challenged me to explore creatively, vocally, and it also helped me find the kind of sound I want Lesha to bring to life in the next releases. One of the memorable moments for me would be performing with my band DJ Marx and Alwyn Cruz at Conquest this year where I opened for James Reid & The Rose. I performed my unreleased track called ‘Skin2Skin’ which received a lot of love from the fans all over social media. I’m really excited to share the new music I made in LA and Manila! It’s honestly been way overdue because it’s been almost a year for me without any music releases and I was initially scheduled to drop them early this year, but I really can’t wait for you all to hear the new sound I’ve been working on these past few months.” ~Lesha

With a lot of learnings from the release of her debut album, the singer-songwriter and producer is determined to move to the next stage of her music career.

Having the experience of working with producers during a two-and-a-half month stay in Los Angeles, Lesha was able to really get to know herself as an artist and as a person.

As she explores different genres and harnesses her songwriting skills, the singer-songwriter is able to produce her debut album which is now her “teaser” for the music that she is currently producing. 

Starting out as an independent artist and being her own label, she experienced her highest and lowest moments in her career—but the breakthrough moments are always one of her inspirations to keep on rocking with her music.

As of the moment, Lesha has been utilizing her social platforms to share her music contents in the digital space while performing on live events on-ground. But with all that aside, the young record producer is very enthusiastic also on what comes next for music career.

Lesha Drops Her 3rd International Track

Fast rising electropop artist Lesha is going through different metamorphoses and it can’t be stopped.  From the girl who has manifested big things to happen, then actually working double time to achieve her set goals to finally reaping the rewards of her arduous efforts, this generational pop star is taking bolder steps to solidify her artistry through new international collaborations and affiliations

Lesha is happy to announce that she took the big plunge to being an independent artist and starting things fresh with a new team.  She’s now with AWAL, a prestigious British music distribution company, named one of the best worldwide. The company serves as an alternative to the traditional music label deal, offering deal structures to artists and independent labels without them giving up ownership or control. AWAL currently handles the world's biggest names in the music industry like Lauv, Finneas, BANKS, girl in red, deadmau5, Tom Misch, The Wombats, mxmtoon, and more!

Lesha Drops Her 3rd International Track

“Me going independent again feels very refreshing. I’ve been longing to feel this way in my career for quite some time and now that I’ve taken my power back, I know I’m ready to finally get back on the grind, release the rest of my album, and be my most authentic self through my artistry. Being part of AWAL that houses the biggest artists of the world and my idols in the industry is a dream come true! As an artist who values freedom and the ability to fully own all my works, AWAL and I were definitely a perfect match. It’s empowering to be an independent artist under them cause I own all of my masters and have full creative control over everything! Not all artists can get accepted because AWAL only selects artists with a trajectory and notable milestones. I went through an application process and after 5 days, I got an acceptance email from the team!” ~Lesha

AWAL empowers independent artists by giving them full control and ownership over their work. This affiliation for Lesha is truly a match made in heaven.  

Likewise, she also has another good news to share.  Her newest track from her global collaboration visual album entitled “SUN MOON RISING” is finally dropping soon.  Get ready to be captured passionately and groove intensely with her upcoming single, “TWIN FLAMES”. A catchy dance song that she collaborated with international music geniuses UK Singer-songwriter - Lewis Maxwell and Bahrain Music Producer - Ghauri. Twin Flames is Lesha & Lewis' take on being in the runner and chaser stage of a chaotic yet electric twin flame connection which is thought of as one of the worst of the 8 twin flame stages.

Now is the best time to stay tune to Lesha’s thoughts and how this new track was brought to life through an intense soul connection idea adding a new flavor to her international album. Take some pointers and read on.

Her post-pandemic plans and her readiness to perform on a real stage. 

Most definitely, I would love to get the chance to perform my entire album for a crowd soon! I really miss the adrenaline performing for an actual audience and not just in front of a camera in my room.

The things to look forward to long term career wise.

My mission has always been to change the game of the music industry here in the Philippines and get OPM recognized globally so I am currently working towards that through my global collaborations on this album and the future releases after the album.

The most frequently asked question on TikTok. 

I always get asked about how I learned to produce my own music or how I could come up with my own beats for my songs. I’d like to think of my platform as a way for other aspiring artists to get inspired or learn from me. I honestly love sharing my knowledge so whenever someone asks me about anything music production related on TikTok I do a video response showing them how I create my stuff cause I was once in their shoes and wished there were more resources available online or someone I can turn to when it comes to being an artist and stuff.

On dominating the International Stage.

I guess I can say that I’ve been preparing my whole life for this. And no it’s not an over exaggeration haha! I’ve always wanted to represent the Philippines globally ever since I began performing and competing in the past. I just can’t wait for that moment to arrive and for the universe to hand me that opportunity soon.

On artist inspiration that she looks up to.  

I take so much inspiration from artists that know how to mold their own sound or are their own producers - I feel that the songs are more authentic and interesting that way. To name a few, I look up to Kimbra, Marian Hill, Lorde, Flume, Billie Eilish, Finneas, Troye Sivan, Lauv, The Weeknd, and Dua Lipa.

Her Motivation and Mantra.

I have a tattoo on my right arm that says “The Universe Listens”. It was my very first tattoo and it reminds me to keep myself grounded at all times and that I can literally manifest anything into my life if I allow it. It’s a reminder for me to be grateful for where I’m at and where I will be soon and it keeps me motivated knowing I have the power to direct my life and make my own choices.

On her upcoming track ‘Twin Flames’ and international collaboration with Lewis and Ghauri.

For reference, a Twin Flame is an intense soul connection, sometimes called a “mirror soul”, thought to be a person’s other half. It’s based on the idea that sometimes one soul gets split into two bodies. Twin Flames can run away because they’re scared about the intensity of the connection. The chaser is the more spiritually awoken twin. Runners love it when chasers keep up with the chase. This chase also triggers their healing during the Twin Flame process. Ghauri and I have been meaning to collaborate on a track for a while now so when he passed this track on to me I immediately got down to writing. A few weeks prior to writing this song I met Lewis and I fell in love with his voice. I just knew he’d be the perfect fit for this song so I hit him up and I was so glad he was down to work on the song with me.

Twin Flames' is the 3rd track of Lesha's global collaboration visual album titled 'SUN MOON RISING' set to drop in early 2022 and is going to be available on all digital music streaming platforms this November 12, 2021.
