Leon Else returned to the music scene over the weekend with his fantastic new single, ‘What I Won’t Do’. Available now via all digital service providers, Else wrote the song with long-time collaborator Joshua ‘JT’ Thompson and Jasper Leaks, whilst The Futuristics worked on production. It serves as the follow-up to previous singles ‘Dance’, ‘Black Car’ and ‘The City Don’t Care’. You can listen to the track below:

Synth-driven and ethereal, the song is the latest to come from Else’s debut EP which is set for release in the summer. In it, the singer/songwriter confesses his desire for love, saying: “My music makes sense now. I’m not going to lie to you. That’s the truth.”

Having been dubbed “the new Sam Smith’ by People magazine and receiving some big critical acclaim following past releases, Else looks to have a hugely successful career ahead of him. Attracting the attention of the likes of Sir Elton John and being noticed for his brilliant fashion choices as well as his soulful voice and presence on stage, we can’t wait to see what’s next for this rising star.
