At the end of 2024, Leo Waters made serious waves with his debut EP, On Waters Ave, marking his official entry as a solo artist. Now, a few months later and after having released his single You Deserve It, which has more than five hundred thousand streams on Spotify, the artist born and raised in Tampa, Florida, presents his new seven-track EP, Torrential. This release, which navigates themes of uncertainty, struggling with transition, and searching for meaning, marks the next chapter in his artistic evolution and cements him as a force to watch.
“After eight months of almost crashing out, cutting more ties than I can count, and being more delusional than Sara in Requiem For a Dream, Torrential is finally out for all you delusional crashouts like me,” the artist shared on his social media just a few hours ago when announcing the official release of his new EP, whose focus track is Marni Problems, melding hard-hitting percussive elements with rippling synths. 21 is the opening track and takes us on a journey with stops at Love Story, 4 Us, Private Prada Gil, Well Being and the single he released a few weeks ago, You Deserve, a melodic and masterfully delivered R&B smasher accompanied by a music video featuring Leo in a telephone box.
Since debuting as a solo artist a few months ago, the Floridian R&B star gained widespread critical attention leading to co-signs from SZA, Keke Palmer, Future, Ty Dolla $ign, MadeinTYO, and a feature with Kaash Paige. Reading the comments on his latest Instagram post, there's no doubt that his fans were looking forward to the release of the EP. Fans who promise to continue supporting him every step of the way and watching him grow in the global music scene.
