Alexandra Leaving is back with a fire in her belly and a defiant new track, ‘The Wall’. This unapologetic anthem takes aim at the barriers women face in grassroots music, offering a powerful call to arms for anyone who’s ever felt sidelined in a male-dominated industry.

“This song’s for anyone who feels like they’re waiting for their moment. I imagined it like a theme tune on an ‘80s show – ‘Can you beat The Wall?’ The barriers and gatekeeping at this level are tough, and sometimes the only way to be heard is to yell—so yeah, this is me yelling.”

Catch her live at The Ivy House on June 13th, or at Digbeth’s What’s Happenin’? festival on July 19th.
