‘Leavy Early’ is the brand new banging tune from London-based singer/songwriter and EDM-extraordinaire, Annabel Grace. As a self-confessed “Stevie Nicks wannabe with an Ableton license”, Grace pulls out all the stops on ‘Leavy Early’ and showcases an incredible ability to blend multiple musical elements into one big beautiful track. In less than three minutes, the gifted musician takes the listener on a sonic rollercoaster, and you can’t help but tap your toes or get up and dance along – it’s that catchy!
Her overall soundscape has been compared to the likes of London Grammar, Haim, and Billie Eilish – mightily high comparisons, but comparisons that we at Indie Top 39 feel are richly deserved. On the flipside, Grace lists musicians like the aforementioned Steve Nicks, Maggie Rogers, David Bowie, Harry Styles, and Prince as being huge influences on her. All we can hope for is that she keeps doing what she’s doing – because it’s working!
A bouncy, infectious, and banging tune, ‘Leave Early’ takes you on a sonic rollercoaster that you don’t want to get off.

What does the song mean to you?
‘Leave Early’ is about a universal feeling of temporary desire and the entirety of the song takes place on the dance floor, drinking red wine while everyone else is on vodka cokes, and getting lost in that electric feeling of attraction.
What do you want to achieve in the next 12 months with your music?
I’m planning to release singles in the coming year and hope to find an audience for my music. I also want to start playing live in London venues.
When did you realise that music is what you wanted to do?
I didn’t start singing until I got to university, where I randomly decided to record a few song covers and upload them to YouTube. I’ve always been into creative writing but had never considered songwriting because I didn’t play instruments, didn’t know how to produce, and avoided singing in public at all costs. Three years later I’m singing and making music professionally, scoring for films and theatre, and writing and recording my own pop songs. My identity is shaped by my constant consumption of music – before anything, I’m a listener.
What does success mean to you?
Success is hard to define, but I can tell you what it isn’t. I once shared a two-page spread in Heat Magazine with Kate Middleton. It was the single worst photo ever taken of me, and when I came into school the next day, my friends had blu-tacked A2 print-outs of it on every wall in school. Ha ha ha!!!
