The new EP follows the highly acclaimed release of his debut album, championed by the likes of The Guardian, NME, Q, New York Times and more. He recently released the remix to “Communication” from the critical acclaimed band Portugal. The Man. Leon of Athens new single 'Mad Into You' was written with David Sneddon (Lewis Capaldi and Lana Del Rey) and Katerine Duska & produced by Joseph Wander.
