First play of singer/songwriter Leo Pesci‘s latest track, ‘GUTS’.

Following on from last years self-titled EP. ‘GUTS’ is an understatedly cool number featuring the smooth, refined vocals of up and coming singer Ella Knight.

This track is taken from his upcoming EP Community, which brings together ten of London’s hottest jazz, soul, and hip-hop players.

On this cut alongside Pesci (vocals) is Jas Kayser (drums), Nicola Guida (keys), Dani Diodato (guitar), Vincenzo De Fraia (bass), Johnny Woodham (trumpet), Callum Connell (sax) and of course, Knight on vocals.

A true lover of melodies, Pesci uses his powerful voice as a vehicle to bring attention to weighty topics such as immigration and masculinity in the modern world.

Mixing things up through his use of jazz, soul, hip-hop influences, it’s hard not to fall head over heels in love with Pesci’s genre-jumping style.

Immensely uplifting and mesmerising, this track demands your full attention.
