Warsaw-born folk singer Leepeck is back with his new single, "Speed Of Light." This track shines with raw emotion and the poignant narrative we've come to expect from the Super Jedynka Award winner. First heard on Breaking Sound Radio in Los Angeles, this is a mouthful of another shift in Leepeck's fast-writ journey, one that moves fast but lands hard.
Born from folk and country, "Speed Of Light" glows slowly, warmly, on purpose. The track has a well-worn sense as if it was hewed from time alone and some reflection. And that's not far off. His forthcoming album, "Where The Wild Things Drown," was recorded live in a mountain cabin, and that rawness creeps into every note of this new single. Leepeck's voice is at its most tremulous and expressive, driving each beat as he sifts through matters of immediacy, transition, and emotional compliance. You can almost hear the fire crackle in that isolated studio setting, so remote yet intimate and timeless.
Having signed to New York's Earth Music Program, Leepeck is set to break beyond the stages of Europe that have defined him. Making a lasting impression in showcases in Toronto, New York, and all over London now, he is no stranger to international success. But "Speed of Light" plays like a statement of purpose for an artist fully prepared to step it up and continue moving forward but doesn't forget where he's been.
The whole album is due in October, and a promotional concert in New York is coming up. "Speed Of Light" is a perfect teaser of a record crafted in solitude but designed for connections. Fans of introspective songwriting with a cinematic bent will find Leepeck's latest a shining beacon from a storyteller who's only gathering steam.
