Los Angeles, CA (Oct 18th, 2019) — Pop LGBTQ+ singer/songwriter Leon Else releases his song “Couldn’t Do It” today worldwide – listen on all platforms HERE. “Couldn’t Do It” was written by Else, along with his longtime collaborator JT Bangs. With up-beat production and an island flair, the pop banger tackles trying to get over a lingering break-up. Leon performed the new song this past weekend at Atlanta’s official Pride event.
On the inspiration behind “Couldn’t Do It”, Leon shared, “Couldn’t Do It’ is a post break-up song about the mixed feelings and ups-and-downs you go through during that time, which is why it will hit home for a lot of people. It all started when my friends took me to Palm Springs to help me get over an ex. I met a guy there and though I wanted to go home with him, I simply couldn’t bring myself to because I still felt like I’d be cheating on my ex. I feel like a lot of people can relate; it’s a mixture of light and dark feelings – that transitional time between being with someone and then missing them, but also wanting to move on but not being able to, which is very confusing.
Else, an advocate of the mental health community, recently started his blog “I’m Not Crazy I Don’t Think” in an effort to start a conversation and join the fight to destigmatize mental health. He seeks to educate people through his blog, which also includes personal stories from guest writers (artists, psychologists, etc.).
