Brother Leo SHARES HIS NEW SINGLE ‘BARCELONA’

Rising Swedish artist Brother Leo possesses the rare ability to connect across the spectrum of the pop landscape. His three tracks to date are full of creative alt-pop flourishes, mixing darker melancholy lyrics with colourful melodies. 

That’s made him a hot tip amongst tastemaker media, including NME, Hunger, Wonderland,Idolator and Clash. At the same time, his immediately enticing songwriting makes a fervent emotional connection, resulting in millions of streams and a growing list of influential fans including Fatboy Slim and Felix Jaehn – it’s clear that Brother Leo is going places.

And where better to start that with his new track ‘Barcelona’?Brother Leo takes us back to the end of the summer in the Catalan capital with a fleeting tale of lust, love and loss and realising that it all has to end. Those emotions allow his natural vocal gift to shine through. Sonically it fits the current landscape with a R&B-tinged take combined with organic elements alongside a pulsating soaring gospel power. 

‘Barcelona’ was produced by Dan Grech (George Ezra, Lana Del Rey). He’s one of a carefully curated selection of collaborators that Brother Leo has called upon to maximise his global-scale potential along with Mark Ralph (Years & Years, Clean Bandit), Coffee (Dua Lipa, Rihanna) and Elof Loelv (Rihanna, Tove Lo, Tove Stryke). 

Brother Leo aka Ola Svensson had huge domestic success as a solo artist, but after a couple of years of living in the studio he wanted to challenge himself both as an artist and as a songwriter. 

As Brother Leo he immediately made an impact, winning a growing following from ‘Strangers On An Island’ (produced by Fatboy Slim), ‘Push Up’ and ‘Shine’, with the likes of Michael Calfan, Danny Howard and Alex Adair coming on-board for remixes. Brother Leo has also written songs for some of the biggest names with the most recent collaboration being with Felix Jaehn and Breaking Beatzz to feature on their summer track ‘LIITA’.
