Emerging pop singer-songwriter Leighton taps into the fear of being seen and struggles of self-acceptance on emotive single “Imperfect,” a tender offering elevated by cinematic visuals.
While the vulnerable lyrics capture the relatable feeling of learning to love yourself as you, the accompanying video unfurls an intimate narrative of a young woman wrestling with self-doubt and the fear of not being “enough.” Led by Leighton’s vivid musical style, the video captures the comfort of small gestures and honest conversations as she learns to accept that she’s deserving of the love she’s been given.
With the warming sunlit visuals complimenting Leighton’s radiant musicality, the track and video showcases the rising artist’s ability to channel the weight of insecurities into confidence. Speaking of the track, she says, “I wrote ‘Imperfect’ during a time when I was questioning myself and my worth. This song and this video is my reminder that real love doesn’t ask you to be perfect. It asks you to be real.”
A versatile songwriter with perfect pitch and synesthesia, Leighton’s experience of music in color and emotion helps her shape an authentic sound that’s completely her own. Carving out a space for herself with her personable yet deeply resonant craft, Leighton continues to cement herself as a powerhouse act.
