Itβs early morning, and thereβs a warm cup of joe keeping me company. I turn on Spotify and play βI taught you how to dreamβ by Leanna Oki, and immediately my day feels better. Upon the first listen, Leannaβs voice is charming and moody. The track she composed feels like the perfect amalgamation of lofi, and late-night-pop. Iβm not sure if the latter is an actual genre, but if you listened to his number deep into the night, well, letβs just say youβll thank me.
The entire song is filled with sensational beat sequences and vibing synths, on which Leannaβs voice shines through. The chorus is filled with background vocals and resonates with the songβs energy quite well.
Leanna Oki, a promising new singer-songwriter, has been highlighted in media outlets across Canada. βI taught you how to dreamβ is Leannaβs sixth independently released song, and itβs a melancholy pop and R&B number that recounts another tale of grief and recovery. Leannaβs distinctive powerful sound is conveyed in this tune via reverberating percussion and a plethora of voice stacks, making for a very moving and uplifting experience. The independent singer combines electro-pop and R&Bβs deep sound to convey the depths of her emotions. Leanna has more releases planned for this year, all of which will feature songs she has written herself. With this news, Iβm quite excited to hear what she has planned to compose and share with everyone.
