LCAW has revealed his brand new track Staring At The Sun ft. Sophie Hintze via Ultra Records / Columbia Records. The global electronic phenomenon made a huge splash earlier in the summer with his smash hit Nobody Else But You, which picked up critical acclaim around the world.
Staring at the Sun continues LCAW’s inimitable skill for combining electronic production with acoustic elements to create catchy, playful songs which transcend the genres. The song features a bewitching vocal from NYC based singer/songwriter, Sophie Hintze.
LCAW said: “Staring At The Sun has a clear message – If you feel trapped in a place or a situation you need to break free, pack up your things and just go. The Sun is quite symbolic in this picture, on the one hand it stands for hope, a better future, adventure; and on the other hand it is a burden. Staring directly at the sun for too long blinds you, leaving you on a path without navigation. The lyrics embrace a loss of direction. Hypnotised by yellow lines, moving faster than the speed of light, renegades without a plan. In the end it’ll be worth it”.
LCAW is the alias of 22 year-old Leon Weber. Munich-based Weber has built a solid reputation as one of the most promising, fast-rising DJs and producers on a global scale. A broad spectrum of tastemakers ranging from Richie Hawtin and Carl Craig, to Martin Garrix and Robin Schulz have already pledged their support for this electrifying young talent. While his remixes have generated more than 200 million plays on Soundcloud and Youtube, his original tracks have reached the HypeMachine top three on no less than eight different occasions. The combined streaming total for all of his tracks exceeds 10 million – an impressive feat for such a fledgling, developing artist.
