Swedish Electro-Soulpoptress, Léon, Goes Synth-Free in “Treasure”

Enjoy the pure vocals of the rising Swedish gal

If you haven’t already, add Léon into your repository of Swedish synthpop and soul. After releasing her debut EP Treasure last December, the Stockholm-based artist has assembled shoutouts from listeners and blogosphere around the globe for her alternative soul glossed with the ear-gluing hit beats of pop. Léon shared the acoustic version of “Treasue” yesterday, so check out her unprocessed, pristine vocals:

Now enjoy the finger-snapping, strings-tied ballad “Tired of Talking”

She emits a parallel dark elegance vibe of Lana Del Rey, but with more city girl air. Léon hasn’t released any music videos yet, but has some tour dates coming up in Europe:

4/4 – Prince Charles (Berlin, Germany)

4/7 – Le Pop-Up du Lable (Paris, France)

4/9 – Debaser Strand (Stockholm, Sweden)

4/12 – Courtyard Theatre (London, UK)
