Leonard Friend is making an R&B/Indie/Pop hybrid, drawing comparisons to Justin Timberlake, Jamie Lidell, Robin Thicke and Francis and the Lights. Check out the video for his song “Serious Music” below and be sure to let us know your thoughts!
About the video:
“The reason I came up with the seated idea for the video is because I tore my ACL and had surgery to repair it and didn’t want to wait until I was fully recovered to make a video,” Friend said. “I remembered a Michael Jackson performance at the Soul Train awards in 1993, where he sprained his ankle during rehearsal and performed sitting down. When I got up to dance that day at the end of the video, that was literally the first time I had danced in five months. We saved it for the end of the shoot in case I re-injured myself (which, thankfully, I didn’t).
