LEO ISLO- Lush Life (feat. Dani Poppitt)

Stream on Spotify: bit.ly/Lush-Life-Spotify

From Puzl Records:

Portland based songwriter Leo Islo continues to go from strength to strength with each subsequent release. ‘Lush Life’ is Islo’s first original of 2017 as the artist opens a new chapter in his already promising career.

Raw, untamed bass lines with Leo’s signature grainy distortion gives the track an undeniably, powerful character. A mixture of ambient chords, undulating pads, and field recordings add a variety of textures to the song.

Tapping vocalist Dani Poppitt for this single reveals Islo’s progression as a budding composer and songwriter. Her captivating solo and beautiful, harmonic pairing with Islo will leave you breathless. Capped off with several electrifying guitar solos, ‘Lush Life’ will certainly leave fans wanting more.

From Leo Islo:

My vision for this song was to write it specifically for a duet between myself and a female vocalist, and after hearing Dani for the first time I knew she had to do this track. She fits the vibe so perfectly- I know you guys will love it.

My vocals were recorded in a cold garage studio at my old apartment here in Portland (back in October), and Dani's were recorded in sunny Los Angeles. Technology is a wonderful thing sometimes.

LYRICS:

Colors how they run.
They’re flowing just like.
Rivers from the sun… and I wonder why.

I’m so drunk in love.
from the look in your eyes.
The neon shining down on you...

So lost in the moment… said you could tell.
I built a few bridges- I burned a few well.
But it don’t really matter. I’m over myself.
Tonight I want to be somebody else.

In that lush life.
Baby I’ll be dancing with you all night.
Something had me thinking we could stay this high.
I can’t help feeling— theres somewhere better with you.

In that lush life.
Baby if you stay until the sunrise.
Maybe in the morning we could still be high.
I can’t help feeling— theres something better with you.

And I could feel the buzz. when your eyes found mine.
In the dark of the club— the flash of the lights.
It might just be a crush. but it felt so right.
With neon shining down on you.

So lost in the moment… knew you could tell.
I built a few bridges- I burned a few well.
But it don’t really matter. I’m over myself.
Tonight I want to be somebody else.

In that lush life.
Baby I’ll be dancing with you all night.
Something had me thinking we could stay this high.
I can’t help feeling— theres somewhere better with you.

In that lush life.
Baby if you stay until the sunrise.
Maybe in the morning we could still be high.
I can’t help feeling— theres something better with you.
