L.E.A.H’s ‘Eroding Crown’: A Song of Empowerment, Healing and Hope
We’ve been listening to this song by L.E.A.H called "Eroding Crown," and it’s very special. It explores the messy consequences of a toxic relationship and honors the strength of sexual assault survivors. L.E.A.H is an amazing lyricist and it’s a rare skill to have nowadays. Every word feels deeply emotional and raw, echoing her vulnerability as she sings. There are two versions of the song. The fully produced one has these intense drum patterns and the overall instrumentation and melodies are reminiscent of powerful pop songs from the late 90s. Then there’s the acoustic version that strips everything back which puts her voice right at the center, amplifying the emotion felt by the listener.
For those who have gone through similar experiences, they can definitely relate to the narrative of "Eroding Crown". The song is about finding strength within yourself and taking back control of your life. Sometimes it’s a long process that goes from feeling broken to becoming empowered and eventually rising above the pain. The song’s two versions are different but complementary. The fully-produced one, there’s more intensity in terms of orchestration, it showcases more of a fighting spirit. However, you have the acoustic version that transforms it into something really intimate, like she’s opening a door to her most intimate thoughts, and we can feel the weight of the pain.
L.E.A.H is artistically influenced by jazz, soul, alternative, and rock. It all comes together in a way that feels both timeless and modern. She is committed to her craft as she shares powerful messages through her music and it shows her dedication as a songwriter. "Eroding Crown" speaks to survivors and also to the ones who need some strength to get out of a situation. The song allows listeners to have a poetic understanding of the struggles and the triumph of overcoming trauma. The melodies, the composition along with L.E.A.H’s vocals are perfect for that strong message.
"Eroding Crown" is a way for L.E.A.H to reach out with empathy and solidarity to sexual assault survivors. Music has always been a tool for healing, and moving past certain things and here is the proof once again. Every word in this song is chosen very carefully and you can tell that she’s committed to socially conscious songwriting. This is an important track in her collection because of its honesty and emotional courage. L.E.A.H is a true advocate for change so let’s hope she continues to solidify her place as an artist.
