Nic Leo recently dropped his album, Pathways, and we dig the second track, “I Am Open.” Brimming with soul and emotion, this tune immediately has us wanting more. We hear a confident, warm lead vocal working in tandem with an array of dreamy instrumentation. The range of Nic’s abilities as a vocal performer is not to be understated. We love his use of overhanging synth tones and classical strings to compliment the vocal melody and rhythmic nuances of the song’s percussive elements.
We hear similarities to the music from modern indie-folk sensations like Gregory Alan Isakov and Shakey Graves; fans of the more experimental, soulful side of this genre will feel right at home with Nic Leo’s sound.
