ECHO - The Podcast

When does imitation go from flattery to a case of identity theft? Nashville-based pop singer-songwriter Leah Mason is answering that question with her new single “Klepto.” A follow up to “YOUR BOYFRIEND SUCKS,” this edgy pop anthem calls out a friend who took a little more than “inspiration” from Mason. “She would subtly ask me about where my clothes were from, and the next week she’d show up in the same thing I had been wearing,” Mason says. However, this “friend” earned the title of Klepto when, “she eventually started messing around with the people in my life, like talking to guys she knew I liked and inviting my friends to hang out without me. It was like she wanted my life.” From heartbreak to love and everything-in-between, Mason is capturing “that life” with honesty, relatability, and bite. On the latest episode of ECHO the podcast, we sat down with the storyteller to chat about the single, her transition from country to pop, and recording her upcoming album in Sweden.
