Selfie

A completely self-produced home studio project. Sparse electronic arrangements and reflective lyrics replace the big-budget disco sheen of the past.

It's Leo Sayer like you've never heard him: totally solo, playing with synths in his house, and getting surprisingly real.

A quiet, self-assured independence that trades stadium-sized hooks for intimate, digital-age reflections.

Moments Worth Waiting For

the biting social commentary of the title track delivered through a surprisingly modern synth pulse

the vulnerable and stripped back vocal delivery on Build You a Rainbow that recalls his 70s peak but with aged wisdom

the rhythmic shift and layered electronic textures during the bridge of Soul Mining
