<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Monday, May 12<sup>th</sup>, 2014--</i> UK Pop artist <b>
Leon Else</b> has been causing quite a stir oversees following the release of his first single “Protocol” in the UK in January<b>,
</b>which was playlisted on<b> <i>Radio 1 BBC Introducing</i></b>. Since its release, he has won the esteem of key influencers in the music industry, including
<b>Zane Lowe</b> of <b>BBC Radio 1</b> who recently championed Leon as his <b>“Next Hype.”</b> Managed by
<b>Turn First Artists</b>, the musical innovators behind the likes of <b>Rita Ora</b>,
<b>Iggy Azalea </b>and <b>Ellie Goulding</b>, <b>Leon</b> will release the debut EP
<b><i>River Full of Liquor</i></b> on <b>July 8<sup>th</sup>, 2014</b> on his own imprint
<b>Skitzophonic Records</b>. <b><a href="https://soundcloud.com/leonelse/river-full-of-liquor">PRESS HERE</a></b> to listen and purchase the title track now.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB">Leon’s music is a stunning blend of soul and contemporary R&B and puts his phenomenal vocals at the forefront. His creativity extends beyond penning lyrics as he draws influence from gothic
biographical illustrations that give a subtle nod to Tim Burton’s technique, depicted in the forthcoming video for
<b><i>River Full of Liquor</i></b> that echoes the songs lyrically dark undertones.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">Leon </span></b><span lang="EN-GB">also made waves earlier this year throughout the fashion industry following men’s fashion week in Paris and Milan. Personally invited to attend by
<b>Riccardo Tisci </b>of<b> Givenchy </b>and a number of other designers including
<b>Emporio</b> <b>Armani, DSqaured</b> and <b>Moncler</b>, he shot straight to the forefront of fashion and style pages with both
<b>UK and US GQ</b> naming him <b>#1 newcomer</b> and most stylish alongside A$AP Rocky, Kanye West and Tinie Tempah.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">Leon </span></b><span lang="EN-GB">will perform live later this month at
<b>Radio 1’s Big Weekend</b> in the UK alongside Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams, Sam Smith and many more.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
