Leah Flanagan Wows Me with “Everything”

Leah Flanagan’s one of those awesome performers who’s been plugging away in the background for years without ever really breaking through.

She was nominated for Best New Artist at the 2008 Deadly Awards, but she’s not a household name like other nominees Jessica Mauboy and Dan Sultan. She’s performed on stage with the likes of John Cale, Ricki-Lee Jones, Sinead O’Connor, Meshell Ndegeocello, and Gurrumul. Her songs have appeared in ABC TV shows like “Dirt Games” and “The Gods of Wheat Street.”

If there’s ever song that should propel Leah into the spotlight, it’s her new single “Everything.” It’s so simple and tender, poetic and romantic. There aren’t bells and whistles about it, but it’s anchored by a whole lot of heart. Do you love it?
