Léon - Circles (New Album 2022)

Honestly...this is her best album. Her voice is one of my favourites around now, how she is still so underrated physically hurts - @Andy French @Babyface @boombazookajoe @Jonathan27 @ohnostalgia etc. get in here (especially if you're enjoying the new Hatchie record)! Soaked, All My Heroes and Look Like That are my top 3 at the moment.
I’ve been spinning it pretty regularly! It’s really beautiful.

I blame this dynamic entirely on music gatekeepers. Just imagine, for a second, if all of us on this forum were the ones being tastemakers for the broader musical mainstream? Imagine how much more diverse the mainstream would be. I play her stuff on a radio station that I run and listeners that had NEVER heard of her are now nuts about her - and in terms of appeal, she crosses generations. She really is the type of artist that a label or any music entity with an interest in long-term revenue should be investing in.

Late because I saw this tag while I was s*oned and forgot to add the album nn but I'll be listening this weekend, thank you sis!
 
I can’t get tickets for London, but have signed up for alerts on Twickets. Every time I ask on IG I get messages from very dodgy ‘profiles’ which don’t seem legit to me.
 
hey, baby
I wanna lift you up

Very curious as to the audience demographic of the concerts for her concert tour. I am slated to watch her in concert for the first time next week in Brooklyn. For concerts that I typically attend, I am usually the one dragging the average age down but I have a feeling I might be doing the opposite here. The only fan I know in my city is this girl that I briefly dated 4 years ago.

I don’t know why I expected a slightly older crowd but in LA, I’d say 90% of the people who were in the VIP pit with me were under 30. A lot of high school and college aged kids, too.

oh wow..Now I am really going to feel like a fossil at this concert - which will be a new feeling for sure. What is encouraging is that younger folks have good taste.
 
for those of you attending the Brooklyn Steel gig tomorrow night, how early are you lining up outside? Does she have an opening act? What times does she actually come on?
 
Watched Leon for the first time in concert at Brooklyn Steel last night and OMG - I had no idea she would be THIS AMAZING! As a geriatric millennial, I was definitely the oldest one in the predominantly female crowd. Leon is not just a singer - she is a consummate performer and she had the audience eating out of the palm of her hand. Here are some clips from last night's gig:
