Leah on Uncensored Interview
Brand new interviews with Leah about making Little Mule, being a mess in high school, nose piercings with grandma, her first song, and so much more.
www.uncensoredinterview.com
Leah teamed up with one of Human Worldwide's resident genius composers, Morgan Visconti, to create this hauntingly beautiful track- featured in a spec spot for Zune directed by Stuart Hendler. The spot has been gaining a ton of buzz lately, and someone has been kind enough to host a pretty great quality version on youtube. Read more here:

The latest full length album "Little Mule" on sale here:
"Local singer-songwriter Leah Siegel is developing a serious buzz with her solid songwriting chops, thoughtful lyrics and a voice that sounds a bit like Chan Marshall imagining how Jeff Buckley might interpret Billie Holiday. Unquestionably one to watch." Time Out New York
"Leah Siegel is a gifted singer with a voice that can morph from a sweet warble to a harder edged growl. Little Mule is a collection of intimate and elegantly crafted songs that play like an artfully imagined diary." NPR, All Songs Considered
The record is powerful...you put out an EP a
few years ago; I was not aware of that, or you, until
about a month ago producer Kim came in one Saturday
and she was just so full of enthusiasm. She had
wandered into some bar or something and you were
playing. And she said, "You gotta hear this woman,"
and she was right! ...And now that I am experiencing
you live in the studio, my mouth is hanging open as
well!”
“As soon as I heard (Little Mule,) I looked at Kim and I said, "Yeah
you’re absolutely right." And it was like goosebump
time. Because you don’t hear that special thing
hitting you over the head immediately, all that often.
You know? And that’s what you got, and that’s why
you’re here tonight.” Vin Scelsa, WFUV during July 8th performance
"The approach of (Little Mule) is ambitious,
with its eccentric breathy melodies, unexpected time changes and unabashed gut-slashing poetry... “Sea Dragon” twists a riff from Tim Buckley’s “Song to the Siren,” and “Lemon” melds Television dissonance with a hint of jazz. In “The Motorcycle Song,” a gentle 3/4 lilt erupts into an epic wave of distortion under the lyric “We dared to catch the bullet of time between our teeth.” Leonard Cohen-esque acoustic songs dance the edge of melodrama, and dim Lynchian imagery haunts every corner." David Wildman, The Weekly Dig

Hey stranger, hope all is going well with you. I havent seen you in a while. Maybe I will make a surprise showing at one of your gigs soon. Damn, there goes the surprise.
Hi Leah! I saw you at Joe's Pub and was totally blown away. Seeing you you reminded why I moved from Hawaii to NY to see simply amazing things like you perform. I was touch emotionally on a few of your songs for some reason. Thank you for sharing your talent and story. Good luck. Oh yah... you are soooo hot!
How sad am I that I'm stuck in Cali and can't come to Joe's Pub tonight? Very very. Very sad. Tortured. Wish there was a way to get my ass to NY and hear those new tunes. Grrr. Anyway...as always, you rule, Leah.
