Leonie Evans is a blues vocalist and songwriter whose compositions wander to classic forms of music like jazz, soul, and contemporary forms like neo-classical instrumentals, modern pop, etc. Her compositions often boast a theatrical theme that nicely plays into the aesthetic that she has going of a classic yet experimental style of blues and ballads. Her latest single ‘I Really Do’ especially carries all of these interactions and elements, throwing open a chest of sonic perspectives and nuances. It features the talent of Gina Leslie, Sam Gelband, Ajai Combelic, Lyle Werner, and Anders Christopherson. 

The track chronicles the mind of a girl who is insecurely in love. It is such an artsy soundscape with such beautiful and explorative elements; all designed to demonstrate the sentiments of a soft, gentle lover with a wounded past who cannot seem to trust her present partner. Leonie plays around with tonalities and harmonies, melody design and instrumental dimensions to curate such a specific soundscape that carries a plane of suggestive darkness underneath the lilting and light atmosphere. It presents like a ballad but also a contemporary pop track but also a neo-soul composition. In this ambivalence, you might perhaps catch an evasive passion, a restlessness, a romantic heart, and a lonely mind, all forming simultaneously. Listen Now! 

The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
