Leon Vynehall announces new album ‘In Daytona Yellow’

Leon Vynehall is releasing a new album titled ‘In Daytona Yellow’ via Oooze INC. on September 19.

The 10-track release weaves pop, R&B and leftfield electronics into the producer’s formula, as well as his own vocals for the first time.

The first single ‘Mirror’s Edge’ featuring POiSON ANNA is out now.

“You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use art to see your soul,” says Leon Vynehall. “I made a quip about Roberta Flack’s ‘The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face’ and how it would be an interesting concept to write a song like that, but it's about yourself. When I put it against the story of the album, I wanted to expand it and explore the duality between ego sex and ego death. Self-loating and self-love. A narcissism, or, more appropriately, an unfamiliar vanity. Something that feels like it's too good to be true – fleeting.”

The album also features TYSON, Jeshi, Beau Nox, Kenzie TTH and Chartreuse, alongside multi-instrumentalist Harvey Dweller, string arranger Amy Langley, and long-time collaborator Eric Timothy Carlson.
