Billy Porter Releases 'Leap (Sgt Slick Discotizer Remix)'

Global powerhouse and visionary iconoclast Billy Porter has shared a new remix for his new single “Leap” from Sgt slick. The original version of the song, released last month, was the first preview of the upcoming EP Black Mona Lisa Vol 2: The Cookout Sessions, coming soon. Listen to the remix here!

About the song, Billy Porter commented, “I always want to make sure I use my art to heal. Music is the universal language. We are in trying times right now and I wrote LEAP alongside of the late genius Andrea Martin to inspire love across all races, creeds, identities, and value structures. Welcome to the cookout!”

Produced by longtime collaborator Lofey (Mary J Blige, Mariah Carey, Chris Brown), and written by the late legendary songwriter Andrea Martin (Monica, Toni Braxton, En Vogue), “Leap” embodies a classic R&B groove and memorable melody designed to inspire. "How you gonna LEAP just standing there?" sings Billy in the chorus leaning into his role as a role model to millions of young people. "Better go leap, instead of standing there!" 

Showing no signs of stopping or slowing down all year, he launches the Black Mona Lisa UK Tour in the fall. It kicks off on October 18 in Swansea, Wales at Swansea Arena, roams across the country, and concludes on October 28 in Brighton, England at Brighton Dome.  The UK tour also includes a stop at the historic Palladium, which has hosted many iconic performers including Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, and contemporary artists like Adele and Ed SHeeran.
