Interview with Max Leone
b'We had the pleasure of interviewing Max Leone over Zoom video!
After inciting widespread critical buzz and fan anticipation, up-and-coming songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist Max Leone reveals his debut EP, Malleable, today alongside a new video for track from the project \\u201cEscape\\u201d. The Clyde Munroe directed video is a dark and stylistic representation of the emotions that Max expresses throughout the lyrics of the new track. Released via Darkroom Records, the EP is out now at all digital retailers, watch the video for \\u201cEscape\\u201d above or listen to the full project HERE.
Boasting a bevy of fan favorite tunes, the nine-track EP taps into every facet of Max\\u2019s enigmatic alternative approach to pop. On \\u201cin case (there\\u2019s a change of heart),\\u201d dusty acoustic guitar creaks underneath his untouched vocal delivery as he confesses, \\u201cI\\u2019m just online pretending I\\u2019m fine, in case there\\u2019s a change of heart.\\u201d Piano upholds the cinematic \\u201cEscape\\u201d as he observes, \\u201cI sit and watch the fire burn and, suddenly, the lines are blurred,\\u201d while his falsetto pierces head-turning lines such as, \\u201cMy head is on a swivel.\\u201d He paved the way for the EP with the latest single \\u201cuntitled\\u201d last week.
Prior to release, tracks from the EP have gathered a total of X streams to date. Among other highlights, V Magazine touted \\u201cthe craziest thing I\\u2019ve ever done\\u201d in \\u201cV\\u2019s New Music Round-Up\\u201d and went on to claim, \\u201cThis lo-fi cinematic song almost feels anti-pop, going against the grain of fleetingly cheerful melodies for a darker energy.\\u201d Further praise followed from ThisSongIsSick, The Interns, and more.
ABOUT MAX LEONE:

He soon started composing his own material and playing in jazz bands, in addition to teaching himself music production and posting his remixes to SoundCloud.

Soon after signing with Darkroom Records, he made his label debut with \\u201cFirst Grade\\u201d \\u2014 a January 2020 release that quickly garnered praise from outlets like Hillydilly. With singles such as \\u201cMalleable\\u201d and \\u201cThe Beach\\u201d winning further acclaim, Leone will deliver his debut EP in 2021.
