Expansive melodies, subtle piano lines and carefully layered production makes Jasmine Power’s ‘LEAP’ a luminous piece of cinematic pop. It’s a sublime balance of emotional depth with an undeniable sense of uplift, arriving as both a personal statement and an open invitation to the listener. There’s a constant push and pull between momentum and reflection, mirroring the song’s recurring imagery of train stations, departures and unresolved goodbyes. Written in Nashville with co-writer Stephen Leiweke, the single captures the quiet bravery required to leave home, chase ambition, and live with the consequences of that choice.
For ‘LEAP’, Jasmine draws on the Welsh concept of “hiraeth”, a deep, bittersweet longing for a place, time or feeling that may be lost or unreachable, threading nostalgia through a message of courage and forward motion. The result is a song that acknowledges sacrifice without becoming heavy, choosing hope instead of hesitation. The accompanying music video, directed by Chancellor Warhol, complements the song’s emotional arc with a hypnotic, nuanced visual language that enhances its cinematic quality.
“I hope LEAP inspires people to dance into their joy and to be fearless with their dreams and the life they wish to lead… life is too short to do anything but.”
