While this next feature isn't something I would listen very often, Leah Nobel's way of blending indie and electro/pop music felt really refreshing and I couldn't pass on her new single "Earth and Sky". There's something incredibly uplifting and innocent about this track and it made me smile widely the very first time I heard those chords.

This sound happiness is part of her upcoming album Running In Borrowed Shoes (out 8th Feb). For her album, she interviewed 100 people and collected their stories to turn them into songs. One question was "when do you feel most alive?" to which the majority of people replied, "when I'm in nature". This is the sentiment that led to the creation of Earth & Sky - a joyous, pop-tinged tribute to the wonder of nature and our place within it.

If you love her voice, Leah also writes dark pop music under the alter ego Hael.
