SIMON LEOZA PRESENTS ACTE III

Simon Leoza unveils his new highly-anticipated album. Comprising twelve captivating tracks, this opus beautifully blends the realms of indie-classical, pop, and electronic music.. Bursting with evocative and abstract orchestrations, accompanied by electrifying electronic elements, Simon Leoza has created a vivid landscape that is both warm and exhilarating.

The album's widescreen grandeur is delivered with the immediacy of a pop record, creating an experience that can be enjoyed both casually and intensely.
