Imposter Syndrome - Leanna Oki (Pop) Only an artist would put their self doubt over their craft back into their art. In “Imposter Syndrome”, Leanna Oki expresses her struggles concerning her career and hopes for success into a rousing, anthemic EDM midtempo bop. It’s a dreamy production, the synth progressions and sparkling bells at times making us think of the underlying tension of classics like “Time After Time”, punctuated by a distorted, slamming percussion firmly rooting the track in modern day trends. The star of the track, however, is Leanna’s strong and emotive vocal performance, clearly demonstrating how personal the subject matter is to her. With a song like this, we wonder why Leanna has ever questioned her ability to succeed.
