Leony Reflects on Nostalgia and Family in New Album 'Oldschool Love'

The Bavarian singer-songwriter revisits her roots, childhood memories, and family values in her second album, blending pop, electronic, and folk influences.

Leony, known for her EM song 'Fire' and as a 'Deutschland sucht den Superstar' juror, releases her second album 'Oldschool Love' at age 27.
The album features 15 tracks inspired by nostalgia, including songs about her upbringing in Cham, her parents' enduring love, and her late grandfather's wisdom.
The single 'By Your Side' draws on personal memories and is melodically based on Gigi D'Agostino's 'In My Mind', reflecting themes of friendship and resilience.
Leony addresses criticism of 'Fire', the 2024 EM anthem, explaining her limited involvement in its creation but noting the positive memories tied to the song.
Musically, the album combines upbeat pop with electronic, folk, and country elements, drawing comparisons to global stars like Taylor Swift and Shawn Mendes.
