Lea Anderson – Heaven Know [Single + Video]

In Lea Anderson‘s hands, “Heaven Knows,” originally a Donna Summer disco smash, undergoes a metamorphosis into a piano ballad that tugs at the heartstrings. Lea, which is pronounced “Lee”, wraps the melody in a confessional intimacy, her fluid soprano unfolding secrets in “Baby please/ Please don’t take your love from me/ I am yours forever more/ ’til eternity.” This rendition strips the song down to its emotional core, trading the dancefloor’s energy for the grand piano’s stately resonance.

“Heaven knows, it’s not the way it should be,” Anderson croons, scraping beneath the surface of love and the hunger for connection. The sparse arrangement—a deliberate pivot from the disco ball lit original—accentuates her vocal elegance and the lyrics’ weighty depth. This 21st century take wholly transforms the feel of the original – morphing a high-octane disco classic into a sophisticated, soulful meditation.

Lea‘s performance in the accompanying music video is artfully framed against a backdrop of contrasting imagery, shifting between serene shots of her against a simple white background, dotted by cool blue-green lights and wide shots of a bustling New York City at night. By showing calm and chaos side by side, the clip reminds us to take a breath and think things through no matter how crazy busy the world gets.

Lea Anderson takes “Heaven Knows” and turns it into something even more special, proving that a great song can rock your soul sitting down just as much as on the dance floor.
