Every once in a while, an artist comes along whose music feels like reading pages from your own journal. Honest, fragile, and still impossibly catchy. London-based singer-songwriter Leonie Biney captures that balance perfectly. Her sound lives somewhere between bedroom pop and indie folk, mixing soft harmonies and warm synths with lyrics that feel like quiet confessions.

​

Leonie started gaining traction with Beach Song (Demo), a simple and hazy track she recorded in her bedroom under a blanket to block out noise. It feels effortless yet stays with you long after, like a nostalgic voice memo from a summer that slipped away too soon. That one song put her on the radar of people who crave raw and vulnerable music without all the polish, leading to her debut EP It Could Have Been Nice.

​

“Beach Song (Demo)”
This is where it all started. With tender vocals and pure emotion, the track wraps you in warmth even as it aches with longing. It’s intimate and stripped back, letting her storytelling carry the weight. It feels like something you’d stumble upon during a late-night scroll and immediately send to a friend saying, “You have to hear this.”

​

“Love You So (feat. Rin)”
From her debut EP, this track takes Leonie’s dreamy sound and adds a little polish without losing its honesty. There’s a soft bossa nova rhythm and a lyric that lingers: “If I loved you less, I could explain it more.” It’s poetic but simple, the kind of line that makes you stop what you’re doing. The production stays gentle, letting her voice float just above the beat in a way that feels timeless.

​

“Comedown”
The closing track of It Could Have Been Nice shows how much depth Leonie has as a writer. The tempo slows, the melodies expand, and her words spill with quiet reflection. It’s about finding calm after chaos, the kind of emotional clarity that hits once the noise fades. You can feel her growth in every line and the maturity in how she holds space for silence.

What makes Leonie Biney so exciting right now is how comfortable she is in her own sound. She isn’t chasing trends. She’s telling stories that matter to her, pairing them with production that highlights the emotion instead of hiding it. In a world full of overproduced perfection, her soft imperfections are what make her stand out.

If you like artists such as Beabadoobee, Laufey, or Clairo, Leonie’s music will fit right into your rotation. But she isn’t following their paths. She’s carving her own one song at a time.
