Even if you don’t know the name Leroy Clampitt, you’ve almost certainly heard his work. He’s the production and songwriting mastermind and multi-instrumentalist behind some of the biggest pop music of the past decade. Now, he’s inviting listeners into his own weird and wonderful world on debut album ‘Get Happy’, released via his own independent label, Sorry Susan Records.
With practically all the instruments and vocals across the album done by Leroy himself, ‘Get Happy’ traverses themes of love, work, burnout, the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
Out today, his new single ‘Sick Day’ is the third insight into the forthcoming album to be released. Deep in the middle of producing for other artists and feeling totally overwhelmed, Leroy began to think about taking sick days when he was a kid, and how restorative that could be. Then, watching old skate videos on YouTube, Leroy was struck by a particular sound of a skateboard slapping the concrete when popping up for an ollie. He sampled it, then built the whole song around that sound as the snare, and that idea as the concept.
With his debut album on the horizon, Leroy’s arrival as a solo offering continues to bloom into a wealth of impressive musicianship, and loveable songwriting. Fans are eagerly awaiting the next steps in Leroy’s solo journey.
