Leif Vollebekk Shares Video For "Devastatingly Beautiful" (NPR Music) New Single "Elegy" Via Brooklyn Vegan
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Montreal singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Leif Vollebekk has just shared his music video for "Elegy" via Brooklyn Vegan. The track is the lead single from Leif's upcoming record 'Twin Solitude,' out February 24 on Secret City Records. NPR Music premiered "Elegy" last month via Songs We Love, praising it as "devastatingly beautiful" and adding "the song grabs you by the heart and pulls you into its hypnotic whorl of melancholia." Since its release, "Elegy" has been streamed over 400,000 times across digital platforms. The track debuted in the Top 15 of the UK Viral 50 chart on Spotify.

Directed by Kaveh Nabatian, the "Elegy" video was filmed in a Florida beach town that Leif frequented as a child. During filming, he danced in the dunes through sunset, followed by Nabatian with a camera strapped to him and a speaker attached so they could hear the song. The pair danced up and down the dunes all day, until it got dark and they were kicked off the beach.

Watch the video via Brooklyn Vegan, who deem the song "lovely, soulful and spare" and the visual "equally striking": https://www.brooklynvegan.com/leif-vollebekk-preps-twin-solitude-watch-elegy-video-touring/

Leif was also announced as this week's World Cafe Next artist by the renowned WXPN show. During the segment, host David Dye compares 'Twin Solitude' to the work of Jeff Buckley and plays two songs from the new record.

Vollebekk has just announced a New York show on February 28 at Mercury Lounge and a hometown performance at Montreal's La Tulipe on March 2, as well as European dates with Gregory Alan Isakov in March and April. He'll return to North America in the late spring for a headlining tour, and dates will be announced shortly.

Leif released his break-through sophomore album 'North Americana' in 2013, and since then has performed at the Newport Folk Festival and shared stages with Daniel Lanois, Beth Orton, Sinéad O'Connor, Patrick Watson, Coeur de Pirate, William Fitzsimmons and Sam Amidon. His 2010 debut 'Inland' was described as "beautiful, memorable and moving" by NPR and "timeless and monumental" by the Independent UK.

Tickets to Leif's New York show will be available tomorrow (December 9) at 12PM EST through Ticketfly: https://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/1397539?utm_medium=bks
