Approved: True Adventures

True Adventures

True Adventures – aka singer-songwriter Sam Leonard – released his debut single, ‘North Atlantic Ocean’, in 2014. After something of a lull in his release schedule, he’s now hitting his stride with two singles out so far this year, including the newly released ‘Brasil’.

On ‘North Atlantic Ocean’ Leonard lamented that “everyone’s moving to London”. Four years later, people are moving yet further from his Norfolk home, with the subject of his lyrics on ‘Brasil’ situated in the titular South American country.

The musical horizons of the new single are also broadened out from the simple acoustic guitar of his debut. The layered instrumentation of ‘Brasil’ nonetheless maintains the unforced sound and feel that lies at the heart of Leonard’s songs.

More singles are planned for this year, followed by an EP release early next year. Watch the video for ‘Brasil’ here:
