Lesley Barth
Sunnyside singer-songwriter and frequent
western Queens performer Lesley
Barth released her debut crowdfunded
album "Green Hearts" in January of
2017 to critical acclaim. Showcasing
her pretty singing style, “Green Hearts”
is filled with retro, piano-driven, soulful
songs with your occasional groovy guitar
riff thrown in for good measure.
Introspective yet far from melancholy,
"Just Like Summer" is one of the many
upbeat tracks on the record, mixing
thoughtful subject matter with a danceable
beat.
Her companion acoustic album "Behind
Green Hearts," with live acoustic
tracks and stories behind the songs, will
be released on Friday, Dec. 15, and will
be available digitally at all major music
retailers and streaming sites.
Garnering regular comparisons to
Joni Mitchell and Carole King, Barth
writes confessional tunes evoking that
‘70s songwriter vibe she's often likened
to, but with a unique and modern
viewpoint that blends elements of pop,
Americana and folk. You can pre-order
the acoustic album (with a free download
of the studio album Green Hearts!)
for $10 at lesleybarth.com. You can also
find Barth’s music at lesleybarth.bandcamp.
