London Synth Pop Artist, Leon Seti, carries himself out in an idiosyncratic way that meshes with the level of depth throughout his unique musical expression. In the midst of celebration of his latest release, ‘Cobalt’, here’s our track-by track thoughts.
Kicking off with the first track, “Cobalt (Intro)”, otherworldly synths and instrumentals send listeners straight into the abyss as Leon introduces all to the multidimensional range of thought that he experiences as an artist. The second track, “South”, begins with soft vocals that lace into vulnerable lyricism that speaks of Leon’s interest to travel to another atmosphere where he can live without fear. “Silver Lining” is the third track that is abounding with optimism as Leon overcomes his ego and strips down walls of pride as he sees his current experience of love for exactly what it is.
The fourth track, “Sunflowers”, begins by carrying out feelings of light as Leon dives into his ever-changing thoughts and allows the release of love pour from his chest over soft instrumentals accompanied by vocals from Phoebe. “Everything I Had” is the fifth track that begins with the soft echo of discontentment as Leon lyrically stresses that he has given all that he has and more to a relationship that is wilting akin to a dark rose. The sixth track, “Paranoia”, Leon approaches the manic highs and lows that have come through love as sensual lyricism tugs at the heartstrings of listeners interested in an array of genres. “All I Have” is the seventh track in which Leon lyrically spills from the heart that he is ready for an individual to meet him at the center of his depth. The eighth track, “Internectar”, begins by Leon traveling into a dream state where he recollects upon the fantasies that he encounters within that he is ready to bring to life. “Stripper” is the ninth track that instrumentally begins with the feeling of a track by Purity Ring as Leon’s gentleness leads listeners back into their center. Closing out with “In the Darkness”, Leon ends strong as the sensitivity that he has approached this project with is complicated by kaleidoscopic lyricism.
If you’re a fan of a mixture of fellow musicians such as The Postal Service, Chvrches and Vampire Weekend, then keep an eye on the ride ahead for Leon Seti on Soundcloud.
