Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Ciara Leah Releases Debut Live Studio Album “Love Money”: Streaming
Toronto-based singer-songwriter Ciara Leah released her debut live studio album “Love Money” on January 2, 2023.
The album comprises 5-track, written by Ciara O'Reilly and Chris Rouse with production by Ciara O'Reilly.
It was recorded at Exeter Sound Studios, Revolution Recording Studios, The Nest, and CL Studios.
“This project is about community - 'it's a family affair,' to quote Sly Stone. My best friends are all over the project and my children have included their unique signature, as well,” Ciara Leah said of the album. “Industry veteran Thomas McKay has curated a safe space to create, which is important to me as a new artist and as a woman. And Chris Rouse is dangerous in the best way. He brings 'funk' and 'feel' and he is probably the most underrated artist I know. They have both mentored some of the greatest and most successful talents to ever come out of Toronto. I am truly blessed for this opportunity.”- The project was funded by FACTOR, which is a public/private partnership that supports the production of sound recordings by Canadian musicians and helps Canadian music companies make recordings available to a wider public.
Ciara Leah is from Toronto. Her soulful sound combines conscious lyrics and dynamic vocals with the colours and harmonies that cross Classical, jazz, and gospel lines and a rhythmic sensibility that draws from classic funk, R&B and hip hop.
Grammy award-winning producer and engineer Ron Saint Germain said, “She has a natural gift for performing. I was immediately taken aback by her incredibly soulful approach to vocalizing, much more in keeping with that of an 'older soul', well beyond her years. Her total immersion into the material and her piano playing transported me as indeed, all great music does.” -
