Fast-rising electropop artist and music producer Lesha is making a full-pledged realization of her musical artistry. From gaining popularity on YouTube to winning international and local musical competitions over the years, this millennial Filipina musician with a global sound is set to conquer the spotlight through her first album aptly named "Sun Moon Rising" which is a collection of her writings that represent the distinctive sides of herself and enables her to capture her innermost feelings, put into enthralling lyrics and integrate musical genres - electronic pop, hip-hop, alternative, jazz, trap, EDM - that she gravitated to over the years.
Each track has its strength on specific emotion - from reminiscing good times, feeling empowered, letting go of inhibitions to seeking love amid chaos - that can surely be relatable to listeners. Lesha made sure that every song can literally stand alone as a powerful track and even stronger as an impactful part of the upcoming album. The musical landscape took a remarkable change recently, but this did not halt Lesha's passion to create an original sound of her own. In fact, the lockdown situation paved the way for the artist to take advantage of working solo in the confines of her bedroom where her studio is set up and filming her music videos in her own home. All of the songs in the album were written and produced earlier this year. She also got to write songs that reflected her as an artist.
Lesha shared and explained, “It honestly feels surreal that I’m finally introducing my debut album soon. These past months have been filled with challenges and learnings but I’m very excited for people to hear this body of work that I’ve been working on for so long. The way the universe communicates with me is through my songs and that’s basically why I chose to name this album ‘Sun Moon Rising’ because it is about the entire concept of astrology and how the universe works to communicate with us human beings." She was also able to bring in collaborators from all around the world - producers and artists from the USA, UK, Seoul in South Korea, Barcelona in Spain, Bahrain and Italy - to work with her on such a special project and eventually take it on a global scale. “It was a very collaborative process and a breath of fresh air working with these insanely creative minds. Through this record, I was able to mold my sound and really showcase my capabilities as a music producer and songwriter. I worked on this record from the backend to the front and I’m really proud of myself for that,” Lesha enthused. The newly released title track "Sun Moon Rising" speaks about the strengths and weaknesses of a person's sun, moon and rising sign that gives fuel to a specific alter ego and how it affects the different ways of expressing oneself.
The title track "Sun Moon Rising" revolves around Lesha's curiosity and desire to understand all aspects of a person. Lesha's "Sun Moon Rising" album under ABS-CBN's Star Music label will be available soon with the title track on digital music streaming platforms worldwide. Other album tracks with different global collaborators are also set to come out in the coming months.
