LEIKELI47
Even if you’ve followed the meteoric rise of musican and producer Leikeli47 thus far, you’re not prepared for where she’s going to take you next. Her second album Acrylic is brash, bold, and as gleefully tough as the material the album takes its name from. “We have this saying that when you smell acrylic, you know just where you are,” she explains while discussing what the album title means to her. “Acrylic is a hard substance and I feel this is one of my harder records to date. It speaks to how hard times don’t break you, they make you.”

The road to Acrylic has been eventful for Leikeli47, who’s only seen her profile further elevate over the past year. She’s notched several appearances on the soundtrack for HBO’s Insecure, most recently with Acrylic’s snappy, infectious single “Girl Blunt”; the release of her debut album, last year’s Wash & Set, spread the word about her considerable talents and led to the type of opportunities—performing for Natalie Portman, appearing with Lion Babe at Coachella, and having her innagural ArfroPunk performance—that up-and-coming artists only dream of.
