Review: "Why Not?" - Leon Vincent


Why Not? by Leon Vincent Cover Art

"Why Not?" by Leon Vincent is a romantic song that explores the bravery of being vulnerable. The song takes listeners into the emotions of the speaker, with his love interest seeming to pull away. Messages of encouragement move through the lyrics, reassuring the other person that they are safe to share themself with the speaker. It is a very hopeful action to try to convince someone to date you, and this optimism-packed song leads with ideas of love and security in its bold request. The lyrics then lay it all on the line, building a case as to why the person should give the speaker a chance. Telling listeners to go for it and give their love interest a reason to trust you, this song is both motivating and uplifting.



Rhythmic percussion and a cool, low pattern of instrumentals open this groovy indie alt-pop track. Leon's charismatic vocals work through the lyrics with swagger as vocal echoes emphasize the lyrics and layers of singing blend falsetto with a grounding, confident sound. The chorus is a stylish exploration of sound with instrumentals bringing a dance feeling into the track, and Leon's singing moving from layered vocal patterns to a singular, more down-to-Earth sound as he sings the title. Enjoy the self-assured sound this upbeat love song has to offer with textured instrumentals and an intriguing vocal style.
