Recorded three years ago in London with long-term producer Jack O’Hea, ‘This Is It’ feels like a song that benefits from time, shaped by distance, uncertainty and all the almosts that linger long after moments have passed.

Alexandra Leaving balance emotional honesty with restraint, allowing the song’s atmosphere to build naturally rather than forcing it towards a dramatic payoff. Warm guitar chords and a smooth bassline give the instrumentals a bittersweet edge, and the gentle vocal performance carries vulnerability with a quiet confidence.

Raised in the West Midlands and now London-based, Alexandra Leaving have already earned support from BBC Radio One’s Introducing Rock Show, BBC 6Music, Radio X and KEXP, and ‘This Is It’ is the kind of track that explains why. It doesn’t shout for attention. It earns it.
