Sean Leon makes warm music. Not in the climate sense, but the emotional sense. There’s an aching intimacy that informs his best songs, and this was the case with “Aquarius.” A standout cut off his last album, In Loving Memory, it saw Leon dish out a bouncy, bass heavy slow burner. Sean Leon has given fans a sequel of sorts, with “Aquarius V3.” The singer bypassed a “V2” and went straight to three, and we can’t say we mind. “Aquarius V3” might actually be an improvement on the original.

Sean Leon’s first version featured a bassier, modern drum arrangement. “V3,” however, opts for more of a vintage feel. It sounds like a mashup of modern R&B aesthetics with a smoothed out, Prince style drum kick. The Purple One’s influence can be heard in just about every eclectic singer in the 21st century, but it’s more pronounced than usual with this song. Sean Leon knows how to inject it into his own music but maintain his own unique delivery and presence. It makes the song an exciting advancement of an idea that already worked beautifully on the last album. We can’t wait to see what Leon does next.

Quotable Lyrics:

Self help on the shelf, I should read
Hit this weed, lost in the trees
Might go to sleep, give me a week
I’m feeling weak, think Ima leave
