Unlike his previously vibrant and upbeat musical endeavors, Mr. Leo’s rendition of “My Heart is Racing” unveils a vulnerable side to the artist that is both passionate and prevailing. Throughout the cover, his artistic tone and musical production not only flawlessly pays tribute to the original piece but also celebrates the genuine authenticity of Mr. Leo as an artist. Additionally, Mr. Leo’s choice to adjust the song’s original instrumental elements and tempo with the help of fellow Cameroonian music super talented producer Tillish showcases how versatile he is in performing as a singer and how innovative he is in his profession. For these reasons, it is evident why Mr. Leo has received such a positive response from his international fan base.
When asked what motivated his song choice, Mr. Leo vocalized “I think the song itself captivates a beautiful underlying message and catchy appeal, which is why I wanted to put my spin on it and perform it for my fans. I am always open to testing the boundaries when it comes to music. I try to step out of my comfort zone as much as I can as an artist, so I am very excited and happy how the final project turned out in the end.”
