Rising star Leonie Biney drops ‘It Could Have Been Nice’ EP with new single ‘Beach Song’

Leonie Biney has released her debut EP It Could Have Been Nice via Platoon. The EP includes her recent singles ‘Comedown’, ‘Love You So’, and ‘I’m Making You Coffee’, along with the full band version of her breakout hit ‘Beach Song’. It follows her sold-out debut headline show at Folklore in London last week.

Biney, who is just 19, gained viral attention with ‘Beach Song (Demo)’ last year, has quickly become a name to watch. With over 2 million views on social media and more than 3 million streams, her debut EP showcases her ability to tap into the universal vulnerabilities of young adulthood.

“My debut EP focuses on various relationships in life that have ended, and how they could’ve been nice had they worked out. This applies to relationships in all their forms, and details the complicated thoughts and feelings had before, during, and after these connections. These songs were written from varying perspectives during a time of my life filled with many changes and adjustments. I wanted the songs to feel as relatable as the concept, bringing light to the more melancholic feelings but ultimately bringing comfort to the listeners,” Leonie shared.

Growing up in Somerset, Leonie was encouraged to sing by her diverse family and taught herself guitar during lockdown. Influenced by artists like Rachel Chinouriri, Beabadoobee, Jeremy Zucker, and Keshi, she aims to further develop her skills at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. Here, the creative community and abundant performance opportunities have become crucial to her musical journey.

It Could Have Been Nice is now available to stream, introducing listeners to Leonie’s evocative storytelling and emotional depth.
