With Circles’ increasingly unguarded personal storytelling and rich emotive production, LÉON takes another elegant step into crafting a long and memorable career.
LÉON creates a synth-heavy work on Circles whose ambient sound conjures the feeling of calm after the storm, even if that calm might still be emotionally fraught.
While Léon has never been one to shy away from themes of love and life, it is only on Circles where she starts to embrace life’s changes and the vulnerability required for moving forward.
Circles is in no hurry to unfurl its charms,but they're worth digging deep for.
'Circles' is a heartfelt pop-soul record showcasing dreamy vocals, intricate production, and warm melodies. Perhaps it's a little formulaic here and there but nonetheless, it's a beautiful listen.
Stand-out track: Lift You Up
Embora traga uma atmosfera muito interessante e sempre com músicas bem produzidas, em "Circles", Léon trás no geral um trabalho morno e sem muita ousadia, nada comparado aos seus trabalhos anteriores.

I really love her voice and she has released some amazing songs, but most of them are on her "Apart" album. The debut and this album fall flat for me and I just need more theatrical, big songs from her. Everything on here kinda sounds the same.
She keeps bringing it with the emotion, lyricism and richness. LÉON - just keep doing what you're doing!
