Leanna Oki is back with her new single, “It was all a lie”

Asian-Canadian artist Leanna Oki has unveiled her brand new emotional pop single, “It was all a lie.”

Expressing the naïveté of young love, “It was all a lie” is a song that vulnerably sheds light on the heavy emotions that come after losing someone you love. Through her voice, Leanna echoes the painful hollowness of heartbreak and solitude, narrating the story of a short-lived relationship that ended in her late teens. “It was all a lie” offers a raw and honest take on young heartbreak, illustrated with atmospheric keys, synths, and strings that will pull on your own heartstrings.

Review

From the beginning of the song, I was pulled in by the steady, rich beat. Once Leanna’s vocals join in, she evokes a feeling of vulnerability and uncertainty while asking questions, such as “Where do I go from here?” and “Where do I belong?

Throughout the track, Lianna’s vocals bring forth powerful emotions of misery and heartbreak. It’s clear that in this song, Leanna pulls from her own experience, which adds a level of sincerity that one cannot fake.

“It was all a lie” is a truly relatable track for all ages. It perfectly addresses the feelings involved when a relationship fails, romantic or otherwise.

Whether or not you’ve gone through this, the lyrics evoke the emotions in such a way you will feel as though you have.
