CSML (Christ saved my life) is LéahRae’s debut single following a tumultuous journey in the music industry. “Having abandoned a career in the music industry as a secular artist, it was only right that my first song coming back to the music scene relays the testimony of my life and the transforming power of Jesus.
Some inspiration for the song came from an Alana Maria cover of Project Dreams by Roddy Rich that I came across on instagram. I thought the melodic flow would give me the perfect platform to deliver a clear and impactful message whilst evoking those relatable sad emotions associated with regrettable choices; with the plot twist being the hope on offer through Jesus Christ. I also remember hearing a song by a friend Christina at a gospel concert; as she sang ‘I’m not that girl that I used to be’ I remember how empowered the audience were as they chanted along – this energy and atmosphere is recreated on CSML.”
