Classically trained and showcasing a likable balancing of meandering classical guitar and quirky, theatrical vocals, leo. drives with a clear sense of personality and groove, for december blues.
While the music appeals for its optimistic seasonal bounce and jazz-kissed fluidity, the lyrics reach out with a certain accessible poignancy, and this is what draws you in from the outset. However, the song builds up beautifully from here, ultimately finding an infectious degree of positivity, and quickly underlining an established musician with a strong ear for worthy writing – in line with the creativity at the heart of the sound.
Featuring the additional vocals of Chevy for further dynamic, december blues is a warm and welcoming ode to the coldness of the season, and effectively brings together the classic cinematic musicality of the fifties, with a contemporary clarity and harmonised passion that’s beautifully uplifting.
Wonderful songwriting, original yet relatable and engaging, and a fine introduction to the honest and alluring poetic songwriting and musical ability of leo.
“So please be the reason I get through the season this year.”
