Singles from
The Text Collector

Leanne luxuriates in Summer sensuality on “Sex With You".

The lustful, simmering track is an ode to pleasure, both physical and emotional. With production that feels patient and desperate at the same time, the song offers a sense of chemistry that can only be felt. Sex With You marks the third single from Hoffman’s upcoming album The Text Collector, born from a poetry project in which the multi-disciplinary artist wrote one poem a day for an entire year.

A blend of 90’s inspired guitar and contemporary pop production come together on “Pity Party”, the second release from
The Text Collector.

Pity Party gives us a soundtrack for combatting the literal and metaphorical “party poopers” of the world. The infectious, dance worthy production nearly conceals what is certainly the angriest song on the album. It’s a celebration where Hoffman gives herself, and the listener, permission to be a little petty, and the result is simple and effective.

Leanne performs a tightrope walk between the sensual immediacy of pop music and poetry’s revelatory nuance on Portuguese Tarts.

Using the swirling melodies and glitzed-up production of Top 40, The Nova Scotia-based multidisciplinary artist builds tension between soundscapes primed for pure pleasure and lyrics that address the interconnected relationship between desire and despair. Produced by award-winning producer Erin Costelo and Hoffman herself, Portuguese Tarts deconstructs poetry and pop music, rebuilding the pieces into a listening experience even richer than the sum of its parts.
