Ramona Magazine | Q&A with Leanna Firestone

Recently I had the honor to sit down and chat with Leanna Firestone about her life, music, and newest album “Forward / Slash.” Leanna is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter, who once started on TikTok for her anime content, but has now become way more than that.

Following her EP “y/n” Leanna did not disappoint. “Forward / Slash” is the product of pure  talent combined with raw emotion creating storytelling like no other. The album touches on topics of heartbreak, relationships, longing, and an analysis of oneself. “You’re getting twenty songs in ten songs because every song is a slash track, so there’s always a tack on…connecting one idea to a softer version of that idea.” As Leanna said the takeaway from her album is to “keep compassion for people who probably didn’t mean to hurt you in the first place” and it’s evident. After listening to the album it makes you question your own thoughts and feelings about the relationships in our personal lives and how our feelings, yes are important, but how they are not the only ones involved in situations. It’s the reflections of the trials and errors we make while in the search of ourselves and love.
