LEADR – I’m Alright (2021)

Toxic relationships can strip you of the power to live your own life. LEADR is here to help you take back this power and fill you with the attitude to live your best life in ‘I’m Alright’. Drawing on his own experience of a relationship that didn’t work out, he works through understanding what happened and moving on.

This journey of moving on from bad relationships incorporates LEADR’s distinctive voice. This merges with his passion for music and the charismatic energy that urges you to love yourself. As he works through the negativity of toxic relationships, he fills you with strength and the conviction you need to understand that you have made the right decision even when it feels like you haven’t. The single is also a wonderful taster for his upcoming debut EP My Way.



‘I’m Alright’ softly pulls you in with an almost ambient swell of tones. This turns into a really chilled melody that combines electronic pop racing tones with a touch of RnB soulfulness. There is an amazing depth to the music that reaches below you into the endless parts of the soundscape. The dynamic movement of the music is captivating. You move from a soft twinkle to a rolling beat only to have the floor pull out from under you. It is a rather intense melody that perfectly captures the emotions of the single. At times, the melody has you feeling out of your depth before you find solid ground again.

The dynamic of the melody not only capture the emotion of the track but also bolster the vocals. LEADR’s voice is smooth and tender as he pulls you into the struggle of pushing your way out of a bad relationship. The harmonising layers on the chorus hit your chest with a wall of emotion. The tenderness of the verses is touching and squeezes your heart only for the beats in the melody to push you to new heights of strength. Through the enthralling movement of the single, he gets you thoroughly hooked to his sound.

Through the dynamic sound of ‘I’m Alright’, LEADR fills you with the power to move on from a toxic relationship. As the melody moves through a range of emotions, the vocals pick apart the struggles you face and provide the strength to overcome a toxic relationship. A wonderfully dynamic single, it has you completely hooked from start to finish.
