Check out Savanna Leigh and her track “Favorite Parts of Me,” a deeply personal song that echoes the introspective style of Taylor Swift. With lyrics like “18 years old, my parents’ house / another birthday comes, I don’t freak out / I say what’s on my mind and say it loud,” the song captures the vulnerability and growth that comes with navigating young adulthood. It would be a great fit for Spotify’s Pop, Singer-Songwriter, or Folk playlists.

On her fourth EP, Reminders of You, Nashville-based singer-songwriter Savanna Leigh showcases a unique blend of vulnerability and empowerment. The 23-year-old’s songwriting delves into the complexities of outgrowing relationships and evolving as a person, making her lyrics relatable to listeners of all ages.

Savanna grew up in Florida, surrounded by creative professionals who made a living from music. This environment inspired her to pursue a career as a full-time artist. Initially drawn to mainstream country, she wrote her first song at the age of 12, a passion that eventually led her to Nashville on a music scholarship.

After performing in a country-pop duo with her sister, Savanna decided to go solo. While she initially explored a glossy pop sound, she has since refined her style, collaborating with like-minded artists to create a more authentic, stripped-back sound on Reminders of You. Set to release on August 20, the project, recorded in Nashville and L.A. with close friends, captures universal yet often unspoken emotions.

About working with Cheat Codes to produce Bloom, Train frontman Pat Monahan said:

“I’m a big fan of Cheat Codes. I love their songs, energy and the whole vibe they put out to the world. When I heard ‘Bloom’ I thought, ‘This song is huge! They definitely do not need me.’ I was so excited that they disagreed and wanted me on the track. This is an incredible song and I am so proud to be on it with these guys. Can’t wait for you all to hear it.”

About collaborating with Train, Cheat Codes said:

“Working with Pat and Train was a full circle moment for us – we’ve been fans of the band ever since we could remember and their music represents a soundtrack that’s already a part of our lives. Getting to meet Pat and work together reminded us why we do this. ‘Bloom’ is our summer anthem and daily reminder to surround yourself with people you love who you know will always have your back.”
