More new Kiwi music! Today we bring you Marianne Leigh and her song, Sweet Goodbyes. 

Marianne is 18, from Auckland and is performing tonight! Read all about it here:

Indie-pop artist Marianne Leigh has today released her hook-laden new single ‘Sweet Goodbyes’ giving fans a taste of what’s to come from this 18-year-old Auckland up-and-comer, who also has her second EP on the way.

To celebrate the release of ‘Sweet Goodbyes’, Marianne is playing a show tonight at Dead Witch in Auckland, with support from Wednesday’s Girlfriend and Lavender. Get tickets HERE.

With a highly addictive chorus; equally infectious melodies; punchy drums and guitar, ‘Sweet Goodbyes’ takes its influence from strong female 70s rock bands. Lyrically, it delves into dealing with a toxic relationship.

“We decided to approach ‘Sweet Goodbyes’ from a playful perspective. The lyric that inspired the song title is, ‘I call you out on all your lies but you wake me up with sweet goodbyes’ – it’s about a person drifting in and out of your life when it suits them,” says Marianne.

‘Sweet Goodbyes’ is co-written by Marianne and Zoe Mills, produced by Marianne and Emily Wheatcroft-Snape, and features Marianne, her brother Thomas Leigh and Nathaniel Selway on the instrumentation. “We’re really proud of what we’ve created”, said Marianne about the catchy track, as it’s a taste of what’s to come on the upcoming EP.
