Leo.’s latest EP, what now? is a refreshing and deeply relatable reflection on uncertainty, self-discovery, and emotional growth. The project, which takes place over a number of years, reads like a musical diary, tracking the difficult feelings that often come with the transition to adulthood. What then, beyond the easy answers? It revels in the beauty of not knowing and creates a listening experience that is both honest and comforting.
Within the EP, Leo. struggles with the constant battle of feeling detached from their own emotions while navigating the questions of identity, purpose, and belonging. The songs are thoughtful and introspective, offering listeners a glimpse into moments of vulnerability that seem universal. All of the songs serve the larger theme of learning to let go, to accept change, and to be at peace with uncertainty. The result is a body of work that is emotionally deep and stays with you long after the last note fades.
It’s the moments that hit the emotional beats, the “never enough, never fair” and the internal wrestling many listeners will connect with. “favourite color” offers a gentler, more reflective quality, offsetting the heavier elements of the EP with moments of warmth and introspection. Meanwhile, the title track, "what now?," serves as the perfect centerpiece, capturing the project's core message: embracing the unknown while continuing to move forward.
leo. can take his own life experiences and make music that really hits home for everybody with what now? It’s an EP that reaches out directly to anyone standing at a crossroads, seeking clarity while learning that growth often begins with accepting uncertainty. So what now? Honest, thoughtful, and emotionally rich. It is a strong release that reveals an artist who isn’t afraid to use music to explore the biggest questions of life.
