Can't Stand Still
It’s with emphatic energy that Leyma presents ‘Can't Stay Still’. The title of the track embodies the aura that the young musician brings to stage and to sound itself.
The gentle guitar that begins the song showcases a level of maturity and patience that meticulously lays the foundation for Leyma to explore his range. The calm, subtle riffs serve as a strong juxtaposition to the subject matter. There is an urgency to the lyrics, rushing yet slow at the same time. The tension builds until it ruptures into a frenzied tone that at last, connects with the meaning behind the lyrics
It’s this moment that proves Leyma’s brilliance as an artist. He is able to play with opposites, keeping them separate yet working together until he decides to abruptly change one of the items to match. In this case it just so happens to be the production that he molds into the structure he’s so carefully playing with. An exercise that proves he is wise beyond his years.
‘Can’t Stay Still’ is the second single to be released from his upcoming debut EP releasing December 3rd. The foresight that Leyma showcases in his production choices combined with his experimental nature is only foreshadowing the artist that he will be as his career progresses.
