COLOURFUL LEAH FLANAGAN

After joining Archie Roach at WOMADelaide last month, Leah Flanagan is hoping fans will pick up on her third studio album, ‘Colour by Number’. Following Leah’s 2016 album ‘Saudades’, this collection of personal memorabilia shows her maturity as both a musician and a person. Now a mother she returned to her hometown of Darwin after almost a decade in Sydney. 

The songs on this record are jazz flavoured

originals up there with the best of Sade and Norah Jones. Producer Sarah Belkner’s sweetly arranged strings compliment Leah’s earthy vocals express the pride of her mix of Italian, Indigenous (Alyawarre) and Irish heritage and she delves deep into her early musical influences and the cultural communities that have inspired and sustained her. leahflanagan.com
