Leland - The Golden West

Review by Jorge Ivan

The Golden West by Leland is an album that showcases the artist's unique blend of indie-pop and electronic music. Released in 2018, it features ten tracks that are both introspective and uplifting, with lyrics that explore themes of love, loss, and self-discovery.

The album's opening track, "Run Into You," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its catchy beat and heartfelt lyrics. From there, Leland takes listeners on a journey through a range of emotions, from the upbeat and danceable "Middle of a Heartbreak" to the more introspective "Another Lover."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Mattress," a haunting ballad that showcases Leland's vocal range and emotional depth. The song's stripped-down production and raw lyrics make it one of the most powerful moments on the album.
