TRACK REVIEW: Dayna Leadbitter – Time’s Up

Late last year saw the disbandment of promising North East group, Badmind. But before we could even shed a tear, Dayna Leadbitter has already made her grand return to the North East scene.

Time’s Up is a confidently performed debut track, with an R&B inspired vocal performance that flows perfectly with the stomping instrumentation. The groove in particular provides the track with a sense of the grandiose, making Leadbitter’s lyrical statements more impactful. It builds from a monumental sounding loop at the opening of the song, graduating to an attention-grabbing guitar solo. I’d love to see Leadbitter find the limits of her vocals, experimenting with them in the production of future tracks.
