Album Name: Here Today<\/span><\/p>\n By: Leona<\/span><\/p>\n Release Date: November 11, 2020<\/span><\/p>\n Genre: Rock\/Pop-rock<\/span><\/p>\n Related Artist: The Beatles, The Beach Boys. The Cars<\/span><\/p>\n Rating: 10\/10<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In a small corner of the world, the rebirth of the classic rock sound can be found with a local Southcoast Massachusetts band called Leona. Their debut album Here Today has been accumulating its tracklist for some time now. The final release, which debuted on November 11th this year, did not disappoint. The band\u2019s members have dedicated their time extensively to creating music that truly speaks to their souls, and hopefully to the souls of those who listen to them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The overall sound of Here Today encourages a sound that can be compared to the likes of The Beach Boys and The Beatles. For instance, Leona\u2019s song \u2018Goodnight Gracie\u2019 holds a softer tone that could possibly be dictated as the end of the day conclusion to The Beatles\u2019 infamous hit \u2018Here Comes The Sun.\u2019 Similarly, the first song of the track-list from Here Today titled \u2018Something\u2019 possesses the remnants of the iconic release \u2018God Only Knows\u2019 by The Beach Boys.<\/span><\/p>\n Despite this likeness, Leona is able to convey with their first original work that it is exactly that, original. They bring to the table a new kind of excitement fellow musicians are often seeking to find. So, although the group has a gift in captivating the same indulgent prowess found in the great minds of Paul McCartney and John Lennon, their uniqueness prevails in setting them apart for their own path to greatness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Altogether, the artistry of Leona is enchanted by youthful exuberance and yet, at the same time, the embodiment and the thoughtfulness of old souls. Within Here Today\u2019s eight songs, there can be found a reverberation of the essence of the \u201860s and early \u201870s classics, unlike many other works found today. From the masterful drums to the poetic guitar, each piece of Leona\u2019s composition is sure to whisk you away into a daydream of sentimental bliss.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Sara Sturtevant Album Name: Here Today By: Leona Release Date: November 11, 2020 Genre: Rock\/Pop-rock Related Artist: The Beatles, The Beach Boys.
