Label: self released
Release date: 30th July, 2021

Leon Winteringham from the North of England – York to be precise – is the mastermind of THE LRW PROJECT. “Fight & Climb“ is his second album and it easily takes the strong debut “To Love, Repeat & Wonder?“ (2019) onto a new level. He vocally sounds like JOHN WAITE at times and also style-wise this record is not too far away from his fellow Englishman. Elements of AOR and singer/songwriter melt together to form something new, something pretty exciting which is flavored with bits and pieces of pop, rock and even progressive rock. Just check out the wonderful songs “Round Two“, “Wrong Fight“ or “Who Did She Marry?“ or the slightly more rocking “Hide Away“. “Stay The Night“ on the other hand is an example of the rather poppy tunes but they are never shallow or something like that. “Fight & Climb“ is an adult, authentic and extremely well-crafted piece of music with a fine production. Hard to believe that so far none of the obvious labels picked THE LRW PROJECT and added them to their rooster. Great stuff!
