Leonie Evans has released a captivating and deeply personal single titled "I Really Do." 


The song opens with a beautiful, bassy melody that immediately draws the listener in, accompanied by rolling, reverberating scythe-like sounds that pique one's curiosity and fascination. The whispery chorus features a mesmerizing "ooooh" that sets the stage for Leonie Evans' unique and theatrical vocal performance, which delivers a piece of their heart to the audience. After a brief interlude, the bass and synths repeat, highlighting the stunning combination of the vocals and the musical support. This standout performance would be a perfect fit for a movie or television show, complementing the visuals with its emotive and cinematic quality. Halfway through, the lyric "I'm just trying to be myself" resonates, questioning the constant pressure to fit into societal molds, and Leonie Evans continues to showcase their impressive vocal expertise with a Broadway-like display. This single is the first release from Collaborations Volume 3, which was recorded in New Orleans and involved nearly 80 musicians and engineers. Collaborations Volume 1 & 2 will collectively feature around 40 more renowned musicians from across the globe. Created and recorded in a single day, this collaboration explores the artist's struggles with romantic relationships and sexuality, and the decision to give the musicians freedom in crafting the musical arrangement has resulted in an incredibly high-quality and captivating song. The track's production quality shines through, with each element meticulously crafted to create a rich sonic landscape. 


The collaborative nature of the project is evident in the seamless integration of diverse musical influences, resulting in a sound that's both fresh and familiar. Leonie Evans' vulnerability in addressing personal struggles adds depth to the lyrics, making them relatable to listeners grappling with similar issues. The song's structure cleverly builds tension and release, keeping the audience engaged throughout its runtime. The interplay between the vocal performance and the instrumentation creates a dynamic listening experience, with moments of quiet introspection contrasting against more dramatic, full-bodied sections.


"I Really Do" serves as a promising introduction to Collaborations Volume 3, setting high expectations for the rest of the album. The single's ability to blend emotional storytelling with innovative soundscapes speaks to Leonie Evans' artistic vision and the collective talent of the musicians involved. As the first taste of a larger body of work, it leaves listeners eager to explore the full scope of this ambitious project and the diverse array of collaborators featured across all three volumes.
