Leisure Share New Single “Always” & North American Tour Dates

Auckland-based soul, R&B, pop collective Leisure has unveiled their vibrant new single, “Always.” This catchy track serves as the lead single from their upcoming fourth LP titled Leisurevision, scheduled to be released on September 29th, 2023, via Nettwerk.

“Always” sets the tone for Leisurevision with its blissful pop sound. The song features a groovy bassline infused with funk, accompanied by sweet vocal melodies and a disco-inspired groove that keeps listeners captivated. The production takes it to new heights with cool synth elements and elegant strings.

Leisure expressed their thoughts on the track, stating, “So much has happened in our worlds since the last record, and in a lot of ways, life has highlighted how important it is to be surrounded by the people we love. ‘Always’ marks the beginning of a new phase in our Leisure journey by acknowledging those we couldn’t continue on without.”
