“The melody is gorgeous and sonically, it’s a pretty stripped back track, making her her soulful voice the highlight (which is a good choice),” said baeble of the song. Entertainment Weekly subsequently named the song one of “10 under-the-radar songs from emerging artists who deserve your attention.”
LÉON kicks off a tour tonight, Feb. 1, in Boston with UK trip hop singer Jacob Banks along for support.
