LEON Releases New Single FALLING Today

LÉON returns today with "Falling," an infectious new track taken from her forthcoming self-titled debut album, due out next year via her own LÉON Recordings imprint in partnership with BMG. Written by LÉON and produced by Norwegian songwriting and production duo, Electric (Jess Glynne, Little Mix, Jonas Blue), "Falling" tells that all too familiar tale of knowing in your heart that a relationship is over, but having a hard time letting go.

LÉON's signature smoky vocals float above a bed of scintillating synths and foot-stomping percussion guaranteed to make you move. LÉON sings about forbidden love, torn between what feels good and what she knows is right. "Now I'm calling you up to see where you are. Why is it so easy to break the rules after dark? And we're falling back together, we're all over each other, tomorrow we're falling apart," she sings in the song's rousing chorus.

"Falling" is out now. Listen to it HERE.

"Falling" serves as the follow up to LÉON's triumphant return earlier this fall, with "Baby Don't Talk," which was released on the official 3 year anniversary of her debut single, "Tired Of Talking." "Baby Don't Talk" was hailed by The FADER as "a sweet song with an arms-in-the-air chorus that belongs on the radio," with V Magazine calling it "an essential listen" and Time Magazine proclaiming it "a warm and upbeat track that straddles the divide between acoustic reflection and pure pop delight.

Produced by Captain Cuts and paired with a beautiful, 70s-inspired video directed by Wendy McColm, "Baby Don't Talk" is subtly underscored by echoing guitar and finger-snaps, all the while showcasing LÉON's signature Stevie Nicks-esque rasp which imbues that robust, powerhouse soul and retro spirit that she is known and adored for. Safe to say that, with the addition of "Falling," this new music is joining the ranks of what is now an impressive arsenal of work. Watch the retro-influenced video for "Baby Don't Talk" HERE.

Since emerging in 2015, LÉON earned that wisdom and freedom by a prolific series of releases and countless performances. A trio of EPs-Treasure, For You, and Surround Me-announced her arrival as an international presence as she amassed over 250 million cumulative streams, made her North American late-night television debut on The Late Late Show with James Corden, and earned widespread critical acclaim with Vogue dubbing her "Sweden's next big thing."

Recently, she launched her own LÉON Recordings imprint, partnering with BMG. Currently working on her debut album, LÉON offers a glimpse of what's to come with her highly anticipated debut, "it's something I've had in my head forever, but didn't bring to life until now. This cycle is very colorful. It's different and bright." At the end of the day, LÉON just wants to make a meaningful connection with her music. "I want people to listen and relate," she says. "If my music could be somebody's soundtrack, that'd be amazing."

Stay tuned for more new music and announcements, coming soon.
