In the Press:
Exclusive Magazine: "Last year, she got on the floor to "Dance With A Stranger," and suddenly her ethereal, inspirational dance-pop vibe (think Enya and Dido meet Madonna) has become a worldwide sensation..."
Leana featured on Kweevak.com:"Forget Volvos, we have a new favorite Swedish import!"
Leana's Faith In Myself receives four out of four stars in GayWired:
"Faith In Myself, [is] a refreshingly subtle, calm and enjoyable take on the dance/pop music genre. Equal parts ABBA and Dido, Swedish import Leana is so genuine on her debut offering, you find yourself smiling, bouncing up and down and having a "Mamma Mia" moment."
