New York, NY (Top40 Charts) "'Record Stores' is an achingly alluring song, soft and tender, yet aflame with Leanne's passionate tones, shifting from hushed whispers to surging timbres." - Medium
"Right from the haunting acapella intro, Leanne Tennant's commandingly haunting vocals latch on. 'Gentle Annie' — teasingly edges towards complete collapse or euphoric explosion (dependent on your own perspective), as Tennant slowly succumbs to the soulful darkness of her late-night world."- Rolling Stone
"'Bring It All Back' is a display of astute, mature pop music, delivered with grace and emotion." - CLASH Magazine
"With all of its elements working together towards a single theme, Tennant's release is looking to be stunningly cohesive, not to mention a killer, head-bobbing work of contemporary indie-blues" - Atwood Magazine
"A bit MØ, a little bit of BANKS, and the musical answer to what would have been if
Lana Del Rey had been a bit happier" - Tonspion
"'Everspin' is meant to be blared while speeding down a wide-open freeway" - tmrw Magazine

Leanne Tennant was born in Ellesmere Port in England, however, as a small child, she and her family relocated to Papua New Guinea before settling in Australia in the 90's. Her parents enjoyed music, exposing Leanne to the music of Phil Collins, Paul Simon,
Bob Marley and the Beatles. After moving to Australia - Leanne started cutting her teeth on guitar and found her obsession was writing her own songs and getting the melodies out of her head. Her dedication to the art has seen her tour as support and work with artists including but not limited to Cold Chisel, Joel Quartermain (Eskimo Joe), Ash Grunwald, Emma Louise, Keb Mo and Colin Hay. Her superb abilities as a singer-songwriter found company amongst the likes of Brandi Carlile, Courtney Barnett, Kacey Musgraves, Phoebe Bridgers, and Julia Jacklin.
Carrying a gentle tone, 'Overthinker' is an ode to critical self-analysis, portraying the complex inner thoughts Leanne Tennant battles with. Taking a step away from her usually light tone, the songstress provides some honest and personal insight into a difficult situation. The production of the track is simple, allowing the lyrics to become the main focus and striking the listener with the message of the song.
The songstress shares a personal anecdote about the song, "As a sufferer of anxiety, I have a tendency to overthink things. I started writing this song when I was feeling a little fragile however what came out was quite powerful. Even though the lyrics are about my overactive mind, I wanted this song to be a song of strength. A reminder that I am strong."
