Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Chandler Leighton returns and ignites a big year ahead of her with her sultry new single “When You Say My Name” via Boom.Records. The empowering single serves as her first 2022 offering and finds Leighton at her most confident while pushing boundaries as she hones in on her newfound sound by infusing elements of dark pop, electronic, indie, and rekindling her rock roots.
“When You Say My Name” was born from the heartache and turmoil Leighton experienced in a past toxic relationship where she was manipulated and stifled. On the new track, Leighton taps into her feminine energy and delivers an enticing yet powerful song that showcases her well-crafted songwriting and lush vocals as she reclaims her power and plays men at their own game.
Chandler Leighton says, “I was going through a breakup, and I needed something that made me feel powerful. This song brought me so much confidence I became a new person. It was liberating, and I embodied the song. I reclaimed my power and self-confidence and came back to who I was supposed to be, who I really am.”
Tired of writing sad songs, Leighton forgoes the poignant lyricism of last year’s releases and steps into her own. She redefined her sound and songwriting under the mentorship of acclaimed musician and singer-songwriter Jaymes Youngand frequent collaborator, producer, and co-writer Brennan Loney. Both helped Leighton find her voice as an artist, musician, and songwriter. Carving her lane from her personal experiences, her music is not only familiar but offers listeners an escape. She creates relatable songs paired with heartfelt, enjoyable, and viral TikTok content that’s garnered millions of likes and streams across DSPs.
Chandler is known for her passionate and emotive songs with revered electronic mainstays Illenium, Slander, Nurko, and her latest collaborative single, “One More Day” with Jason Ross and Blanke. “When You Say My Name” marks Chandler Leighton’s intent to establish herself as a solo artist and helps cement her place as a fast-rising alt-pop artist.
