No, it's not because we have a writer called Luna, that we collaborated with Luna Management in New Zealand, for this release. It was totally by chance, we promise you!

The Auckland-based artist Brody Leigh recently released "Sad Club". During the first listening, we were seduced by certain professionalism and maturity in both writing and interpretation. It was only after listening to the song that we read the pitch. Brody is... 19 years old. This is how you take a slap in an instant. But wait, it's not over. This is just Brody's debut single. Yes, we know that all of this sounds hard to believe. But we swear we're not making anything up.

In 2022, some artists are emerging thanks to social media. It was by posting very short snippets on TikTok and Instagram, armed with a piano and a guitar, that the craze for “Sad Club” was born.

About the song, Brody said:
“I hated the feeling.. of my first heartbreak - hence the lyric “this is my welcome to the Sad Club”. To me, the song is like a time capsule of that really strange period of my life, it's when I learned what it means to really miss someone.”

A song that has its place in your playlists right next to "Someone To Miss" by Josh Savage. Written with breathtaking maturity, "Sad Club" is that kind of contrasting song, where the darkness of the lyrics plays with the luminosity of a successful production by Joel Jones. The producer managed to shine a light on a compromised love story (a fairly common writing topic), giving it power and intense emotion that will set off the goosebumps in you. Because Brody Leigh's vocal mastery is absolutely stunning. And you can't help but get absorbed into her world pretty quickly.

Barely three weeks after its release, "Sad Club" has already won over 1K monthly listeners on Spotify. Some blogs tend to skip up-and-coming artists for higher-selling headliners, but at IMC we want to give everyone a chance. Like we did a few years ago for Dan+Shay. All artists deserve to be discovered. And for the most talented, we are just the lighter that lights the fuse. But it is you, dear listeners and readers, who make the rest of the story.

You can trust us, you will remember her name. Brody Leigh is only at the beginning of a promising musical odyssey.

Reach out to Brody Leigh
