Alt-pop singer-songwriter Lea G releases her new single, “HAPPY FAMILIES,” presaging her upcoming third EP, SEPARATION ANXIETY, slated for release on November 17.
Talking about the song, Lea G shares, “I wrote ‘HAPPY FAMILIES’ about the effects of pretending everything is fine when you know that it is not. Spending years brushing things under the carpet had me feeling empty and with no way out. It is so hard to confront what you know has to be talked about and felt, but even harder to play Happy Families when you know it´s reached a point of no return. This song is super personal to me, and I hope it gives you the strength to start healing from your past.”
Written with Nashville songwriter Blake Densmore, and produced by BROOKFIELD, “HAPPY FAMILIES” follows on the heels of “EMPATH” and “BEFORE I FALL,” both of which resulted in multiple BBC Introducing Radio Plays, features in elite media outlets, and placement on numerous editorial playlists on streaming platforms.
Lea G’s sound blends elements of acoustic pop with alt-rock, along with catchy hooks and nostalgic melodies. With over 19,000 monthly Spotify listeners and tens of thousands of followers on social media, Lea G’s music is at once unique and contagious.
“HAPPY FAMILIES” opens on a soft, plush piano and emerging synths, followed by a potent, mid-tempo rhythm made up of tight, crunching percussion and deep bass tones. Lea G’s evocative vocals imbue the lyrics with wistful, introspective flavors. It’s one of those voices capable of both delicate timbres and sumptuous, soaring surfaces.
“And you can try your best to hide / The cracks in our foundation / But every time I close my eyes / I get the confirmation / That it’s all a lie / And I’m so tired / Of playing one big happy family.”
Dripping with moving poignancy, “HAPPY FAMILIES” reveals visceral, authentic vulnerability, as well as the hauntingly beautiful voice of Lea G.
