In 'Leaving Me', the debut album by Irish vocalist Denver Cuss, she has crafted a wonderfully nostalgic album in the style of '60s soul and rhythm and blues. Denver first gained recognition as an accompanist and background singer for PM Warson, who produced this album. She and her co-writer Kit Warren began writing this album in early 2022, recording it gradually over the next 18 months. They utilised several studios across London to capture the best of each element: The Cube in Stoke Newington for the drum sound, Hackney Road Studios for lead vocals, and Sam Beer's studio in Acton for Hammond, Wurlitzer, and background vocals. This album was a labour of love, involving over 12 musicians with incredible talent.

Inspired by the doo-wop and Chicago soul pioneers The Impressions, the vocal styles of Sarah Vaughan and Aretha Franklin, and the echoing, mode R&B sounds of Thee Sacred Souls and The Altons, Denver's debut album has a clear thematic thread. It effortlessly navigates the world of '60s-style background vocals and R&B ho arrangements, carefully curated by Denver. With her background in jazz and her arrangement style firmly rooted in the world of soul and R&B, you can clearly hear her influences, supported by some of London's finest musicians.
