Leah Hinton – “Away” is a song of transformation

NYC – based artist Leah Hinton released her new R&B Pop single “Away” on September 24, 2021. A song of transformation, “Away” celebrates a newness of self. Liberating and refreshing, the song feels like a cool breeze on a hot summer day, lifting us up and carrying us away on its scripture-inspired journey of growth and change.

This uptempo fun jam delivers messages of renewal, freedom and encouragement through its diverse musical influences including Jazz, Soul, R&B and Hip Hop. A surprise rap verse by Jordon Peace seamlessly intertwines with Hinton’s smooth vocals, adding another level to the song’s message and sound.

A prelude to her first full length album planned for 2022 and arranged and produced by Ray Angry of The Roots, “Away” was written and digitally co-produced by Leah Hinton and brought to life by NC – based acclaimed producer, composer and arranger Daniel (Doc Junya) Hargrove.

The official music video, releasing on October 16, 2021, is a celebration, set on the beach and an outdoor stage in Queens, NYC. Through expert creative direction and videography, a beautiful story unfolds featuring Hinton herself as well as people from the community, including other artists.

Leah, Berklee College of music graduate and 2018 Jazz Act of the Year nominee for the New England Music Awards has been performing along the East Coast, teaching music, writing and collaborating with artists. Excited about this release, she is moving through her promotions plan including sharing it with her audience who tune in to her Sunday weekly internet radio show, ‘Sweet Sounds’ aired on EAJ1023radio.com.
