Leah Senior leans into quiet reflection on new single ‘Softly, Once Again’

Australian folk artist Leah Senior has never sounded particularly interested in shouting above the noise, and her new single ‘Softly, Once Again’ leans directly into that instinct. Taken from her upcoming fifth album Pt. Roadknight, due June 19 via Third Eye Stimuli and SPINSTER, the track arrives as a quietly pointed reflection on creativity, performance and the strange pressure to constantly amplify yourself in an increasingly crowded scene. Senior describes the track as emerging during a period where the demands of self-promotion were beginning to weigh heavily against her natural creative rhythm.
