Review - Leesa Gentz “It Ain’t a Party/Better Off Broken”

single on ABC through EMI

 

With a look combining Abi Tucker with Gina Jeffreys and a sound to compare to many a US country chart-topper, Leesa Gentz is proving that Australian country talent starts just as early as some of her overseas peers! It even runs in her family, with (not much) older sis Kirsty earning a guernsey on the 1996 “Brand New Country” compilation.

 

At 16, Leesa can rock it up (It Ain’t a Party) just as well as she can hold the tempo back (Better Off Broken) although one so young should not know the pain of which she so capably sings!

 

A name and talent to rival the family Kernaghan, the family Gentz certainly has a lot on promise: let’s hope Leesa can write half as well as she can sing! ««««
