Info for Descend

Anders als der Titel vermuten lässt, setzt die Sängerin von District 97 und ehemalige American Idol-Finalistin Leslie Hunt ihren Aufwärtstrend mit "Descend", ihrer brandneuen Solo-EP mit sieben Tracks, fort. "Descend" ist der zweite Teil eines 2-EP-Sets und der Nachfolger von "Ascend", das im Juni veröffentlicht wurde. Sie enthält eine weitere Reihe von sieben kunstvoll gestalteten Songs, von denen jeder einzelne ein Beweis für Leslie Hunts zunehmend sicheres Songwriting ist.

Während sich die sieben Tracks von Ascend" mit Herz- und Seelenthemen befassten, geht es in den Songs von "Descend" vor allem um die Freiheit des Individuums und den Versuch, seinen Platz in einer zunehmend komplexen und manchmal rauen Gesellschaft zu finden. Leslie Hunts eklektisches Spektrum an Einflüssen bewegt sich auf natürliche Weise zwischen den sieben Songs von "Descend", die eine Reihe von Genres durchqueren.

Leslie Hunt

Leslie Hunt
began her life in the Chicago area, playing piano and singing at the age of four. Through the years, she has performed on many stages in many roles, and has been celebrated all throughout her development as a performer. While many will remember her from her all-too-brief stint on American Idol, where she made it to the top ten females, the singer/songwriter has since matured at an accelerated rate due to various personal and professional setbacks.

Leslie performs regularly as a solo artist, enchanting rooms large and small with nothing but a piano and her voice. She also has a full backing band for shows that are less intimate, yet still wholly riveting. Leslie has also signed on as a vocalist and songwriter for the progressive rock band District 97, sharing the spotlight with Chicago Symphony Orchestra cellist Katinka Klein.

Leslie Hunt is truly the most exciting, dynamic, talented young artist I have worked with in many years. She exhibits the command of her art as both a writer and singer that is hard to find in someone her age. (Rick Chudacoff, Producer)

Leslie has worked with numerous established talents, including drummer Vinnie Colaiuta (Frank Zappa, Joni Mitchell, Sting) and bassist Vail Johnson (Stevie Nicks, Herbie Hancock). But ultimately, what sets Leslie apart is that she straddles two extremes: a witty, bouncy pop artist in brightly colored dresses who is pitted against her darker self, a sensual, piano-crouched exhibitionist. Whether it is a cheerful, hook-heavy pop tune about love or a dark and insightful ballad of self-discovery, Leslie Hunt’s music is a window into a her soul for any listener willing to look.

This album contains no booklet.
