Inspired by everything from the classic songwriting of George Strait, bluegrass of The Steeldrivers, and 21st-century vibes of Billie Eilish and Dua Lipa, she spent countless hours writing and honed a sharp signature style, resulting in her debut single “Far Boy.” Taking the reins of her career, Leah watched YouTube tutorials about uploading media to Spotify, outsourced cover art, and finally decided to launch a TikTok page to promote “Far Boy.” The song played over a video captioned, “I called my ex to hang out so he could listen to this song I wrote about him,” and it organically exploded with 13 million views. After a year at Berklee College of Music, she transferred to Belmont University in Nashville. By the age of eleven, Leah started performing in a classic rock band with her older brother, belting out Heart and Pat Benatar covers. By doing so, she energizes the genre with universal pop appeal.

Instead, the North Carolina-born and Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and artist allow her edges to frame an intimate and infectious brand of country that could resonate from a small town to the top of a big city. Leah Marie Mason never tries to be perfect. Writers: Bonnie Dymond, Gabriel Horne, Leah Marie Mason Producers: Bonnie Dymond “Love Isn’t Real (with Leah Marie Mason)” As Kidd G alleges in the searing bridge, “you’ll know you believe me when you sing along.” One side is angry, even resentful, while the other is destroyed and resigned. In the end, the inevitable realization that sometimes you’ve mistaken passion for love is a heartbreaking pill to swallow. Together, the pair are two sides of the same coin. “Love Isn’t Real” is a tale of disillusionment with love. This song has become something really special and I’m so happy I got to work with Kidd on this project!” I think at some point or another we have all felt a little hopeless when it comes to love, at least I know I have. Mason says, “I’m so happy I could bring a girl’s perspective onto this song. While Kidd G is establishing a unique blend of hip-hop and country twang, Leah Marie Mason is equipped with her honey-sweet southern vocals that are refreshingly bright and promise crossover appeal. While the structure of the song is similar to that of emotional modern country-R&B currently trending, the power of the duo is enough to catch the attention of devoted listeners of all genres. After meeting in Nashville, the singers immediately connected and began strategizing a collaboration. From the simple yet compulsively singable chorus of the original track to the heartbreakingly detailed new verse from Mason, “Love Isn’t Real” proves itself to be wise beyond its age, much like the singers.Ī pitch-perfect mixture of acoustic guitar and a driving beat keeps the listener engaged with the story unfolding.
