Awir Leon has got the reputation of a rising star within the music industry. His unique sound sees him blend electronica, alternative hip hop and indie together to create a signature sound. Having spent the last two years touring internationally as opening act of ‘Woodkid’, Awir is back and set to make 2023 his year.
Awir Leon returns with an infectious new single “Stars.” The track features a colourful melting pot of impactful synths, playful drums and larger-than-life backing vocals. On top, Awir’s vocals come drenched in personality and feature catchy, irresistible hooks that ebb and flow in between. The track is a fully immersive musical experience as it textually gets thicker.
Speaking about the single, Leon explains: “Stars, to put it simply, is a self-motivation song. It’s a pick yourself up, get your shit together moment. The chorus is like a motto, or even a mantra:‘All hands in the mud’ refers to taking your life in your hands, and re-owning your force of creation, ‘touch skin like a treasure’ refers to enjoying and being grateful for what is in your life, and ‘do we know we’re alive?’ Is pretty self-explanatory. ‘All the stars on your skin when you’re sweaty’ is probably the core line of the song though. It gives this idea that you’ll find another dimension through picking yourself up again, that you’ll shine through effort.”
Not only a musician but also a talented dancer, Awir toured for a decade with several international dance companies, such as Emanuel Gat Dance, before feeling the need to focus more on music. Having now toured Europe and picked up a whole host of acclaim from the likes of NOWNESS and The House Magazine, gaining over 1 million streams on Spotify alone, Awir Leon’s new material once again pushes boundaries, showcasing his musical maturity and cementing his place as an exciting, interesting up and comer.
