LÉON – ‘Treasure’ (EP)

LÉON – ‘Treasure’ (EP), music, Musica

Oh we like her don’t we? We really do. First two singles ‘Tired of Talking‘ and ‘Nobody Cares‘ caught our attention earlier in the year, and now Sweden’s LÉON has released her debut EP ‘Treasure’.

How many new songs on it? As well as the two singles, there are two new tracks – ‘Treasure’ and ‘LÉON’s Lullaby’.

What are they like? ‘LÉON’s Lullaby’ is a soulful ballad with strong retro flavours. Title track ‘Treasure’ is a poptastic anthem that showcases all of the flare that made us fall in love with ‘Nobody Cares’ so instantly. Very catchy, and with a bombastic helping of piano to bring it to life even further.
