Abstract Hip-Hop, Albums, Artists, Chill, Freestyle, Pop | Leah Haxhi Hits Hard with Summer Single- “Fade”
Posted by BIGLIFE on June 21, 2015
You’ve seen Leah’s unique covers here on Fresh New Tracks before, but this time NYC singer/songwriter Leah Haxhi drops her first single “Fade,” with music produced in Brooklyn by Mike Irish. The track mixes minimalistic piano with jam-sesh vibes to create a natural, catchy feel that blends pop, R&B, hip-hop, and even subtle jazz elements into a chilled groove, ready for the hot city summer. With a June 21st release date, “Fade” is the perfect summer anthem, setting the tone for “driving down the highway” and blasting music while “everybody sings along.” The single is paired with high quality visuals from the hands of Matt Phipps, filmmaker and creator of SkatersAtlas.com.
Leah says “I wrote this song last year on my birthday. I was in the studio free-styling and picturing myself flying down the highway with my boyfriend at the time just listening to music on the way to the beach, fading away into that moment of complete contentment and happiness. This song is an expression of that feeling, no matter what you’re doing in life.” Be on the lookout for more tunes from Leah, as she continues the countdown to her debut album release later this year.

After graduation Steve headed to Brock University to study Kinesiology, while Remy took a year off to concentrate on music. 90’s finest are experiencing rapid success as they have only been making music for 2 months and have already garnered a solid reputation in the university circuit and have attracted some big names for future collaborations.
All of 90’s music is coming straight from a make shift studio situated in Steve’s garage, where late nights and early mornings have produced bangers that listeners have claimed to be “crisp”, and “absolutely nasty.” 90’s Finest first started getting attention after they dropped “strobe” a remix of the original deadmau5 hit. 90’s Finest focuses on producing quality electro/hip-hop/dub-rap music and will continue to produce music for a long time to come.
