CloudKid Presents LEOWOLF - Criminal Orchestral Version
LEOWOLF stints a new version of his acclaimed, ‘Criminal,’ — which has already garnered 2 million streams since its release — with an orchestral, bombastic version of the same song.
Leo, aka LEOWOLF, says of this version of the track, “This version marks the celebration of 2 million streams of the original dark, slow-burn R&B single, transforming it into an epic orchestral experience. With strings and piano amplifying the emotion, it turns the song into a powerful, cinematic journey where the messaging of the originates track now resonates even deeper.”

Inspired by the likes of Justin Bieber, Olafur Arnalds and The Weeknd on this version, LEOWOLF sure shows his vocals and production are a force to be reckoned with in the R&B, alternative and pop space. Growing up in a family that prized both rigor and recklessness, LEOWOLF embodies a unique blend of self-deprecation and seriousness. At the heart of his musical vision lies a desire to reveal this duality, a willingness to laugh at himself while also striving for artistic excellence. He sees himself as a “false rock star” who revels in both mystery and display, show-casing his contradictions. Between wanting to be taken seriously as an artist to also being intensively aware of his tendency to point out the absurdity of such a desire, LEOWOLF is driven to create music that speaks to the heart of the human experience, constantly torn between the artistic and the rational. He draws on his own life experiences to craft lyrics that explore themes of love, disillusionment, and eternal optimism tinged with melancholy and feminine figure; his music is both a source of joy and a burden, an all-consuming passion that both liberates and imprisons him.
