Natalie Del Carmen: “Leanne”

Natalie Del Carmen’s “Leanne” is a sparkling discovery.

It has an immediacy that grabs you from the first note, but it’s the details that keep you hooked.

Through my setup, her voice cuts clean and expressive, the instrumentation carefully crafted — subtle percussion, melodic bass, shimmering guitar — all supporting the song without ever getting in the way.

It’s the kind of track that sits comfortably between pop sensibility and singer-songwriter authenticity.

“Leanne” carries warmth and intimacy while staying adventurous, a balance that’s tough to strike. If you’re building a playlist that spans genres — from Brandi Carlile to The Roots to John Prine — this one deserves a spot.
