Singer-songwriter Leon Else releases his song “Couldn’t Do It” .“Couldn’t Do It” was written by Else, along with his longtime collaborator JT Bangs. With up-beat production and island flair, the pop banger tackles trying to get over a lingering break-up.
Leon explains “Couldn’t Do It’ is a post break-up song about the mixed feelings and ups-and-downs you go through during that time, which is why it will hit home for a lot of people. It all started when my friends took me to Palm Springs to help me get over an ex. I met a guy there and though I wanted to go home with him, I simply couldn’t bring myself to because I still felt like I’d be cheating on my ex. I feel like a lot of people can relate; it’s a mixture of light and dark feelings – that transitional time between being with someone and then missing them, but also wanting to move on but not being able to, which is very confusing.”
Leon Else began writing and recording music at the age of 12 to serve as an escape from his rocky upbringing. Interested in all of the arts, Leon saved his money to attend dance school, and over the years has performed in Kenneth MacMillan’s ballet ‘Winter Dreams’ and musicals including ‘Sinatra’ and ‘Oklahoma!’. But Leon decided to leave the dance world to pursue music, and his earliest songs drew the attention of iconic artists such as Elton John.
