LISTEN: “Tallahassee” by Leif Vollebekk

Leif Vollebekk has unveiled a brand new song today.  ‘Tallahassee’ is a powerful piano ballad coming from the Twin Solitude recording sessions. This is one of those songs that got away from me. All of the other songs on the album happened so fast. But not this one. I was sure Tallahassee was going to hold the whole album together. But it wanted nothing to do with it. This one went elsewhere. It wanted to be under its own constellation. In fact, this song wandered so far away I didn’t even know where it went, explains Leif on his creative process behind the final tracklisting of the record and this beautiful outtake.

VIDEO: “Elegy” by Leif Vollebekk

Montreal singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Leif Vollebekk has just shared his music video for “Elegy”. The track is the lead single from Leif’s upcoming record ‘Twin Solitude,’ out February 24 on Secret City Records.  Directed by Kaveh Nabatian, the “Elegy” video was filmed in a Florida beach town that Leif frequented as a child. During filming, he danced in the dunes through sunset, followed by Nabatian with a camera strapped to him and a speaker attached so they could hear the song. The pair danced up and down the dunes all day, until it got dark and they were kicked off the beach.
