{"title":"LÉON","description":"\u003cp\u003eSwedish singer LÉON made a splash in 2015 with a softly glowing contemporary pop sound that evoked classic sounds of the 1960s and '80s without being entrenched in the past. A trio of EPs paved the way for her eponymous 2019 debut and its breakout hit, \"You and I.\" LÉON has continued to deepen her synthy, atmospheric sound, as on 2020's Apart and 2022's Circles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stockholm native -- a daughter of musicians -- fronted a band as a teenager and watched her career accelerate as a solo artist after she began to work with producer Agrin Rahmani. In 2015, at the age of 21, she made her proper debut with \"Tired of Talking,\" a single with a sweet melodic hook that belied the lyrics' assertive character. The more uptempo \"Nobody Cares,\" a song in which LÉON sang of having trouble letting go of a relationship, followed shortly after that and led the way to an EP, Treasure, which contained both of the singles and two new songs. Her For You EP arrived in early 2017. Months later, she issued another EP, Surround Me, followed by the sultry single \"Baby Don't Talk\" in 2018. In the buildup toward her debut album, LÉON scored another hit with its rousing lead single, \"You and I.\" The album, simply titled LÉON, appeared in March 2019, followed by tours of Europe and North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn October 2020, she returned with her sophomore long-player, Apart. Recorded in Stockholm with longtime collaborator Martin Stilling, the album found LÉON continuing to build on her mellow, melodic pop sound. \"Hear Me Say,\" a dance house track with Jonas Blue, appeared in May 2021. Showcasing more vulnerable, synth-heavy atmospheres, Circles, her third full-length, arrived in March 2022. Included on the album were the previously released singles, \"Dancer,\" \"Soaked,\" and \"Wishful Thinking.\" ~ Andy Kellman\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"leon-circles","title":"| Circles (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eLeon was unable to tour in support of her 2020 album Apart and felt an unsettling sense of uncertainty. Stuck at home in Stockholm, Leon decided to start writing again, resulting in her emotionally-wrought new album, Circles. Circles reveals the shifting moods Leon encountered while making it. \"I found it hard to write about mental health,\" Leon recalls. \"I didn't know how to put what I was feeling into words. But eventually something opened up on this album. I found a way to write about my depression and anxiety-all the things people go through-which felt really, really good. It opened a new side of my songwriting. I was able to express those feelings, like not being able to sleep because you are overwhelmed with thoughts and anxieties. It felt very freeing. And I hope people can relate because I'm not the only one who's been feeling this way for the past two years, or in life in general.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eTracklist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eA1        Dancer\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA2        Wishful Thinking\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA3        Soaked\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA4        Fade Into A Dream\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA5        All My Heroes    \u003cbr\u003e\r\nB6        Look Like That\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB7        Lift You Up\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB8        Moonlight\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB9        Circles\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB10        Wildest Dreams\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB11        The Beach\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003e*Audio and\/or tracklist may vary slightly from the vinyl version.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eLabel: BMG RIGHTS MANAGEMENT\u003cbr\u003e\r\nRel.
