Marianne Leigh's new single 'Sweet Goodbyes'

Indie-pop artist Marianne Leigh has today released her hook-laden new single ‘Sweet Goodbyes’.

'Sweet Goodbyes' is a refreshing, hook-laden slice of indie-pop. With a highly addictive chorus; equally infectious melodies; punchy drums and guitar, ‘Sweet Goodbyes’ takes its influence from strong female 70s rock bands.

Leigh's songs discuss the struggles of a naive youth, the ups and downs of love, and learning life lessons. She is a versatile lyricist, her authenticity heard in both her emotional ballads and upbeat singles.

The 18-year-old placed first in the nationwide Smokefree Rockquest competition with her single Best of Me in 2019, and brought her talent to TV on the What Now and Cath Vincent TV Shows. She is a three-time finalist of the Play It Strange songwriting competitions and was mentored by award-winning NZ musician Bic Runga.

Marianne Leigh takes the stage on August 6th to celebrate the release of her single at Dead Witch in Auckland at 9.30PM. More details here.
