Leon Ware’s final album sees its release
The legendary Motown singer died in 2017 leaving unreleased material
Today (13th September) sees the release of a final album by Leon Ware, the legendary Motown songwriter, keyboardist and singer who passed away in 2017, leaving a number of unreleased tracks and studio sessions, which have now been put together by producer Taylor Graves in a project they’re calling ‘Rainbow Deux’.
The album features appearances by Kamasi Washington, Thundercat and Ronald Bruner Jr. among others, along with recordings from 2013 which were only released on a special Japanese CD. It not only features original music but original artwork with a watercolour on the cover painted by Leon himself - a piece titled ‘Deux Hearts’ and so gave the album its name.
Full tracklist:
- For the Rainbow
- Let Love In
- Sigh
- The Darkest Night
- Surrender Now
- Summer is Her Name
- Are You Ready
- Streets (Keep Me Runnin’)
