Lea Anderson covers the classic Donna Summer hit, “Heaven Knows,” with elegance, passion and a modernity that memorializes the song with an everlasting timelessness. Anderson’s interpretation of the song is a masterclass in vocal delivery, complemented by the smooth and shimmering piano accompaniment that glides effortlessly throughout the track.
From the moment the song begins, Anderson’s deep, rich vocals command attention, drawing us into a world of heartfelt emotion and longing. Inspired by Donna Summer’s iconic vocal technique, Anderson channels a siren-like allure, captivating us with her sultry and delicate delivery. Her voice swoons you with the grace of a swan swimming over a tranquil lake of piano, which lends a timeless beauty to the song.
As the chorus arrives, Anderson’s vocals soar with graceful passion and emotion, her vibrato belting out surging, agonizing yearnings that tug at the heartstrings. The lyrics, brimming with love, devotion, and longing penned for Summer’s soon-to-be husband, take on new life through Anderson’s ethereal interpretation.
The official music video, released later on March 11, is the perfect visual complement to the song’s ethereal beauty as it does Anderson’s performance, instrumentals, and lyricism justice. Set against a backdrop of luxurious, modern, and urbane night vistas of NYC photographed by Andrey Prokhorov, while Anderson delivers her performance with tender expressions, donned in a sexy outfit oozing that old-world glamour and grandeur. The video imagery enhances the shimmering piano melodies with the cinematic experience that transports us to a realm of lush elegance and romance.
