After originally releasing their debut record ‘I Had a Dream Last Night’ exclusively to vinyl at the beginning of the year, the multi-talented upcoming artist LOS LEO now finds themself sharing their releases with the same building anticipation of your favourite TV shows. Over the next twelve weeks, LOS LEO will be releasing a new single from the album and promoting the deep discussions and hypothesising that surrounds them, with the season finale set to release on September the 22nd. Their newest offering from the release comes in the poignant form of ‘Six’, a bedroom/indie-pop fizzler you won’t be able to get enough of.

Flowing into his luscious bedding of sound with thumping electronic beats and shimmering synth, the experience of ‘Six’ immediately makes itself known to be one of instrumental fluctuations, evolving as you listen through and heavily intertwined within the emotions that come into play. A quick thudding of drum beats line an instrumental intermission, scattered with bright electronic pops, all deeply connecting you with your own racing heartbeat. Once again settling back down for the verse, the instrumentals soak back into a tranquil base with a slightly more prominent beat, but quickly things soar through an electronically growing mass of pulsations. LOS LEO sings atop this creative production of sound with their own glaring emotional undertones, softly but powerfully delivering every line with a bittersweet edge to it, capturing both the butterflies and the aching beneath them. Moments drenched in heavy vocal effects add another melancholic layer to the song’s development as LOS LEO seems to almost shout their pained words whilst they reverberate more deeply into the sound’s base. The track only continues to diversify, littered with beats you can never quite place the development of; rising drums that grow in intensity; protruding heavy synth and vocals that become more desperately emotive towards the song’s climactic end. All in all, there’s not a moment of the theatrically racing two and a half minute release that won’t have you deeply intertwined within its sound, inspired by

After LOS LEO headed abroad to write their debut album, the lyricism of ‘Six’ really found itself spilling out of their mind with a deep-rooted emotional connection and cathartic hope. Leaving behind someone they deeply cared for, ‘Six’ explores all the themes that come with growing distance and love, placing a reunion in the hands of fate and a longing to reconnect as true soulmates destined to be together. Opening with the painful introduction to and ending of their love story, LOS LEO sings ‘six months down and we’re on your front porch… time’s run out, goodbyes will never hurt so much’, immediately unleashing the devastating pain in his heart whilst he’s physically torn away from the one he wants most. With LOS LEO still thinking back on them despite the oceans between them, lines like ‘my heart beats now somewhere across the water’ emphasise their bond that exceeds just the physical, a connection of souls that are lost without their burning flame beside them. As time passes though, LOS LEO watches as their lover begins to move on with another, wrapped up in lyrics that plead for answers and a yearning for things to be as they once were: ‘if I head home now, will I sink or swim?’ Every heartfelt word of ‘Six’ resonates so profoundly, perhaps due to the nature of reality seeped into the song’s lyricism, telling such a bittersweet journey of love and two completely contrasting spectrums of what could be: someone still just as in love despite any time or distance apart, and someone who’s already moved on before the dust has settled.

Check out ‘Six’ here to appreciate LOS LEO’s catchy but meaningful soundscape and personal lyrical journey that’ll leave long distance lovers everywhere aching along too.

Creo que desde ese momento empezó mi agujero negro por dentro, yo estaba muy pequeña y tengo una hermana mayor blanca, se pinta el pelo y todo luce en ella porque a pesar de ser blanca no es gorda, ella es flaca. Soy la segunda de tres, por ultimo esta mi hermano menor.

Las mamás dicen algo muy incoherente para tapar algo que en realidad muchas personas saben pero ellas lo quieren sobrellevar sin que las tachen como tales y es la típica frase: “Yo los quiero todos por igual, no tengo a ningun preferido.” Que frase tan pasada de moda y además de eso es ilógica. Las mamás si tienen preferidos, ¡SIIIII!. No solo yo lo se y lo digo, los que tienen más hermanos lo saben, todo el mundo lo sabe.

En fin, en mi casa siempre han visto a mi hermana mayor mas bonita, ademas que es la preferida, y mi hermano menor, pues es el menor y quien no lo consiente, menos yo. Siempre he estado parte de todo, intento hacer las cosas bien pero para ellos nunca es suficiente. Todos ignoran a aquella chica que es la del medio entre dos hermanos. 

Mi mamá una vez me gritó que yo era lo peor que le había pasado, y les voy a confesar que cuando tengo algún sentimiento siempre lloro, soy muy chillona y pues si, con su frase me desgarró el corazón. No ha sido solo eso, ella siempre ve en mí las cosas negativas, de los tres solo a mi me pegó, ahora no me pega porque yo también me reveló. Todo lo que ha hecho y hace mi hermana mayor ella me lo reprocha es a mi, no tengo amigos, ella no los deja por que mi hermana si tiene vida social y yo no, muchas veces me ha dicho que por que no consigo marido, que para que estudió, etc y etc.

No solo es eso, mi mamá tiene una red social y por ahi habla con tipos y todo y envia contenido desnudo igual que yo. Lo empecé a hacer desde muy peque, desde los 14 por diversión y chicas se los confieso, aunque he intentado dejar eso, no puedo, cada vez que decaigo vuelvo a enviar nudes. Esto nadie de mi familia lo sabe y yo he tenido que leer conversaciones y no decir nada por no herir a mi papá y se los juro, eso es lo mas horrible que existe, me culpo a mi por eso, cuando no tengo la culpa de lo que mamá hace.
