09 AUGUST 2020: LEON – Chasing A Feeling

Another epic and emotional track from one of the most distinctive voices in pop today.

This is easily one of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard in a while. Right from the spine-tingling harmonies in that warm acapella opening, ‘Chasing A Feeling’ establishes itself as a confident, cinematic listen. Bringing a distinct 80s vibe to the table, the chugging bassline and bursting synth motifs give this production so much atmosphere. It’s the perfect instrumentation for this delicate story of reluctantly realising a relationship may have run its course. Leon balances the vulnerability and resolve of this mood with such expert precision, and it’s one of those magical vocal deliveries where you notice a new emotional nuance with every listen. Her trademark sound has always been characterised by this exact kind of rich, retro styling both in the visuals and the production of her tracks, so if you’ve liked her previous releases, this will be right up your street.
