Some stories stay with us forever. I don’t think I’ve ever opened a wardrobe some small part of me thinking “Maybe this is the one? Maybe this is the way to Narnia?“. There’s just something so enchanting about the image of fur coats giving way to fir trees, stepping from wooden boards into forever winter. It feels so enticing, the promise of a solitary faun waiting under an icy lamp-post to take you by the hand and show you a world beyond imagining. Yet the trick with Narnia is that you only get whisked away there when you least expect it. Pressing play on ‘Come, Come Child’, the new single from singer/songwriter Leaena, is like taking that first unexpected frosty footstep beyond the spare room. Opening with the quiet haunting allure of the unknown, the stillness of virgin snow, it soon grows into something far grander. A deep tribal drum beat, as ancient and unknowable as the deep magic, enchanting vocals that leave you falling under their spell, and sweeping cinematic strings that hint at an adventure yet to come.
