Restless Years

Leo Sayer

A mature, self-reflective collection of sophisticated pop. Sayer trades disco-glitter for piano-driven wisdom and lush, mid-tempo arrangements on aging.

Find on Amazon

It's Leo Sayer with a lifetime of stories and a piano, sounding more honest than ever.

A sophisticated and soulful meditation on the passage of time, delivered with a wry, veteran's perspective.
