After an extraordinary year in 2023 with the release of her EP SEPARATION ANXIETY, a UK and European tour, and a sold-out headline show at London’s Courtyard Theatre, alt-pop artist Lea G is stepping into a bold new chapter with her new project, THE FLOOD.

Described as what might happen if Florence + the Machine and Orla Gartland collided in a feverish daydream, the six-track EP delves into themes of introspection, transformation, and vulnerability.

‘BETTER OF ME’ is the first chapter of THE FLOOD, Blending introspective lyrics with a soaring alt-pop sound, capturing the push-and-pull of wanting control but feeling completely lost. Winning the Centre Stage Competition in collaboration with Universal Music enabled Lea to record a demo of the track at the inconic Abbey Road Studios. Later, Grammy-nominated engineer and producer Isabel Gracefield came on board to finish the track with Lea, shaping it into an anthemic and cathartic track that is bound to be your new favourite track.

She says of the new single, “I wrote ‘BETTER OF ME’ with my mate Brookfield at my family home in Austria in late 2023. At the time I felt stuck in limbo—neither fully down nor truly happy but just waiting for something to happen after going through a period of deep healing. I felt that that unsettling uncertainty, when life feels out of your hands, and you’re desperate for anything to break the numbness. If you´ve ever felt like this before, I hope it makes you feel seen.“
