In just a couple short weeks, we'll have Leela James' latest album, Did It For Love, in our grasp. We've enjoyed the first listens we've gotten from the project, "Hard For Me" and "Don't Want You Back," and we're getting another preview with the set's third single, "All Over Again." Unlike the first two releases, "All Over Again" finds her in love with no complications as she slows it down for the first straight-up ballad we've heard from the collection.
Upon first listen, it's obvious that "All Over Again" is jockeying to be the wedding song of 2017. "You're beautiful in all the right ways / I'm sure I've said this before," she begins. "I look in your eyes and I can't deny it / Somehow I never loved you more." As she delivers the heartfelt sentiments, tender piano and sentimental strings gently play in the background, creating an intimate feeling as she confesses her heart. Despite Leela's bigger-than-life voice, she restrains her vocals here to create a moment and convey the pure emotion that the song evokes. Don't be surprised if you hear this one more than once during the wedding season (and we dare you to try and keep your eyes dry when it happens).
"All Over Again" might just be one of your favorite moments from Did It For Love, though we're sure you'll have plenty more when the album officially arrives on March 31st.
