LÉON - Think About You

Although this song leans more towards pop than it does the indie or alternative genres, I can't not share the beautiful music and songwriting talents of LÉON with you. Releasing her first EP 'Treasure' last year and 'Think About You' being the first single to be released this year, LÉON's musical talent and artistry as a singer still holds enough obscurity to get excited about before she undoubtedly gets mass attention in the coming months. Her first single from her debut EP last year gathered over 20 million plays on Spotify and the Swedish singer has already earned the appreciation of American pop singer Katy Perry. Growing up in Stockholm, LÉON first began her career in music as a front woman for a hip hop group as a teenager before later deciding to pursue a solo career. 

Through it's lyrics and minimal, bluesy piano hooks the 'Think About You' appears to be another simple heartbreak ballad. Yet the record quickly evolves into a surprisingly optimistic, cheerful anthem that dances around the pop/ballad genre and is carried by LÉON's soft and soulful vocals. The Swedish singer has in the past mentioned her songwriting style relies on her lyrics remaining honest, open-hearted and relatable, this song telling the story of a confusing and badly handled relationship LÉON experienced when she was 18. LÉON is a relatively new artist who is still building and developing her style of music. Although only having a handful of songs to her name, this latest single strengthens her status as a young musician. LÉON is already toeing the edges of success and her name is one you will most definitely be hearing a lot of in the future.
