[Premiere] Leon Lour Drops Highly effective Synthwave Anthem “Sooner”
The flexibility of music to evoke emotion ought to by no means be taken as a right. A musician’s data of scales, keys, rhythms, and chords is usually considered one thing that’s simply rote, one thing that may be a easy necessity. However the expertise required to place a smile on somebody’s face with a chunk of music is admittedly one thing to be cherished. With Leon Lour’s new single, “Sooner,” it’s unattainable to maintain a frown on.
Synthwave has all the time been a style that may put a smile on my face, and “Sooner” is an excellent instance of a synthwave / pop mixture that does simply that. The upper pitched vocals work famously with the observe, giving it an Ellie Goulding-type really feel that transcends each previous and present tendencies. The pumping rhythm is simple to bop or sway to… usually, the sort of music that straddles so many strains would possibly discover itself with an id disaster, however Leon Lour pulls it off with a professionalism that’s to be admired.
After nearly a yr since my final launch (“All Our Goals” EP) I’m so excited to lastly launch my subsequent single “Sooner.” The primary sort of digital music I heard was trance again on Dave Pearce’s Euphoria CDs from the early ’00s and I’ve beloved it since. Incorporating trance into my model is one thing I’ve all the time wished to strive. The soundscapes and vitality have all the time been electrical and I’m so pleased with the end result on this slower, extra breaks, vibe. Cherished making this observe and hope folks really feel it too! – Leon Lour
