After uploading acoustic covers on Instagram and YouTube, Ugandan-born singer-songwriter Leo Jai has released his first official single, titled ‘Come Over’.
For the fans of Conan Gray, Khalid, Pink Sweat$ and Frank Ocean, Leo Jai will be another one-of-a-kind treasure to observe. Combining his unique falsetto vocals with R&B and sprinkles of pop music, Leo has created something special that makes him stand out immediately. He treats every note and sound so gently, as though you were putting a glass screen protector on your iPhone. He has carefully removed every piece of dust and made sure that no air bubbles remain.
Discussing his loss of personal relationships after relocating and the nostalgia that comes along with it, Leo Jai shows his fragility and coming of age. Being a black male living in 2021, it is also important for him to discuss toxic masculinity and sexuality, as these issues have become part of his life in recent years.
As Leo has only just started his musical journey, this incredibly strong debut is something to be proud of. He is clearly taking his music seriously, a mindset that every new artist should be taking note of.
