Haling from Manchester, UK, Tom Leonard stands as one of the best new voices in the independent music scene. Following the rampant success of his previous singles ‘Clarity’ and ‘Hidden You/Hidden Me’, Leonard’s music is starting to captivate audiences all around the world.
Inspired by the ethereal and wide sound of Shoegaze, more specifically that of the 90’s, “Stay Gone” is a track that preserves that hazy texture in its sound, enhanced by a huge stereo field that floods the listener’s ears with a rich quality and warm and feeling.
The lyrics are emotionally-charged, with a heartfelt message that reminds us to not take our loved ones for granted. In Tom Leonard’s words: Take care of your relationships, because when they’re gone – they stay gone.
You will immediately notice the big sound and lush textures of the track, as it explodes right away once you hit that play button. The song offers dynamism and story-telling, featuring a nice composition that flows in a seamless way.
Leonard’s vocals are sensitive, tucked inside the sonic river of hazy melodies, elongated reverbs, and rock-steady drums. Undeniably passionate and rich in texture, Tom Leonard’s vocals deliver the emotional message with the utmost precision.
This new single was recorded at Leonard’s studio and mastered at Woods Studio, Norway. It marks the third single from his forthcoming album ‘What Has Been and What Will Be’, following behind amazing singles like ‘Clarity’ and ‘Hidden You/Hidden Me’.
