Singer/songwriter/keyboardist Leerone has a voice and a way about her playing that is unforgettable. Her warm vocal register has similar timbres to Charlotte Martin, and her face has exotic features that mirror KT Tunstall. But unlike these women, Leerone can sing a song riddled with expletives and make it sound like verses taken from a Robert Frost poem. The clarity in her voice has a natural purity and a feminine silkiness that resembles Australia's Sarah Blasko with melodic sensibilities that delve into avant forms and border on theatrical-pop, sometimes at the expense of audiences making preemptive references to Broadway shows like "Spring Awakening" and "Hairspray" in her songs.

But Leerone takes great pride in her individuality and vocal histrionics, and in the vane of women that are recognized by only their first names like Cher and Madonna who have built their lives around their music, this is the avenue that Leerone has chosen for herself.

Her debut album In "This Life, On This Road" was self-released in 2003 and presaged her critically acclaimed sophomore record "Hail To The Queen" in 2004. Both were produced by Ariel Rechtshaid and showcase Leerone's warmly temperatured vocals and avant-pop leanings in her music, which brought forth comparisons to Regina Spektor in CD reviews. But it was apparent that Leerone owned the woman which she was becoming. Her latest offering "Imaginary Biographies" reinforces this sentiment. Self-released on January 23, 2008, the recording was produced by Christopher Fudurich (Jimmy Eat World, Nada Surf, Matthew Sweet) and has garnered national attention allowing her to acquire gigs across the US including performances at the Boston Music Festival on September 4th and 10th, 2008. Sites like Amazon.com have been unable to keep up with the public's demand often being out of stock of the CD. So what makes "Imaginary Biographies" so special that audiences are buying it as if this is one luxury that they cannot live without through this economic recession of 2008? Like James Taylor's song "Something In The Way She Moves" tells, "There's something in the way she moves or looks my way or calls my name / That seems to leave this troubled world behind," which may give people an slight inkling into Leerone's magnetism.

Much of "Imaginary Biographies" has soft melodic expressions spiked by resonating glockenspiel chimes, avant-angled piano keys and winding guitar strings. The contemplative aura of the songs is inviting
