BMG/LÉON Recordings

According to Mark J. Marraccini: “With so much of today’s chart-topping pop songs sounding like they’re written to be GIF-able and hashtag-able on social media, only to dissolve into the ether after a few months, it’s promising to hear a singular talent like LÉON offer songs to the world that bloom the more you listen to them. With her solidly self-assured debut, LÉON ignores the trends that other pop artists are chasing, resulting in a modern, grown, and soulful pop album that promises to age well.”
