#46 | LÉON | Apart
BMG | Official Store
According to Mark J. Marraccini: “Instead of trading in breakup generalities or lovelorn clichés, LÉON offers mature personal narrative in many of Apart’s songs as an invitation to voyeuristically examine her self-professed faults….Utilizing an emotional vocal outcry to denote the anguish of a particular moment is not the palette LÉON chooses to paint with yet as an artist. This was her breakup journey and to deliver a gorgeous and honest snapshot of this period, perhaps LÉON doesn’t want to scream and shout about all the pain. Grappling with difficult life choices and trudging through the muddy waters of self-discovery is hard enough—on Apart, it’s clear LÉON is instead choosing to unearth the beauty inside all that madness.”
