Upon listening to ‘Brain Games’, the listener will be presented with an unexpected contrast: on one side, we have a decisively upbeat, acoustic-driven, playful pop instrumental. On the other, we find Young Leòn’s brilliant vocals, exuding a rather pop-punk character. It’s the balance between sleazy, young and rebellious lyricism and the more understated instrumental that greatly characterises the record.
‘Brain Games’ is a refreshing listening experience, a nugget of pop euphoria with a side of summer-powered indie. The acoustic guitar fiercely drives the track forward, with a rather simple production going along it. The magic comes from Leòn’s unmatched charisma, taking the listener into the doubts and insecurity of love and relationship. A glimpse into the human psyche, the Los Angeles resident delves into the complexity of modern human interactions.
Imagine yourself on a night out, cruising around town with your head outside the window, wondering about your latest crush or your next date. That’s exactly what ‘Brain Games’ stand for, highlighting the way our brain tricks us into taking decisions that matters. Leave insecurities behind and make sure to enjoy your summer: Young Leòn can help with that.
