You should already be familiar with both SV & Alyssa Jane from "Pressed" but this one is a different trip.

In the 2nd song off their collaborative album Neo Phily, Alyssa still effortlessly swings in between rapping & singing - but "Leave" taps more into the trip-hop/jazz aesthetics of the production, with a good deal of melancholy & pain in the vocals. The song, exploring the topic of running away from toxicity & abuse, doesn't leave you hanging even for a second due to its diverse composition, layering of synths, backvocals & one of the most emotive sax performances out there.
