Golden Days is a thoughtful effort that showcases alluring vocals with atmospheric synths and guitar work. The resulting effort is able to touch upon a wide swath of alternative rock, spanning the gamut from Rufus Wainwright to Elton John. The harmonies brought here by Leo’s vox push the instrumentation to an entirely higher plateau. What results during this single is nothing less than fantastic; the skilled arrangements will stick around listeners’ brains long after the song ceases to play. Leo Sawikin has imparted upon Golden Days a timeless sound that invites in any fan of well-composed and contemplative music. We’d be excited to hear more from the performer in the future.
