We all have to hit reset on our lives sooner or later. Indie-pop singer-songwriter Maria Neckam was met with an unexpected heartbreak that sent her careening through a smorgasbord of emotions. Then forced to contend with a new life, she bravely picked up the pieces and reemerged in 2019 with her colorful, playful and altogether moving new album called The Leap. Through the towering 12-song lineup, she carves out lush compositions that needle through desire, joy, sadness, anger, hope and contentment. She punctuates such raw performances with an expanse of musical touch points, from a Phoebe Bridgers dreaminess to the gritty attitude of Fiona Apple. All the while, she roots her stories unapologetically in her own quirky identity.
