Every prayer sounds different once you survive the storm. That quiet resolve anchors Blessing, LeoStayTrill’s first release of the year. The 18-year-old South London voice leans into melody here, letting a soaring chorus carry themes of thankfulness, patience, and self-belief. Meanwhile his verses unpack the thoughts which shaped his recent rise, an artist pausing just long enough to acknowledge how far he’s come. The production introduces a choral, almost communal energy that reframes his sound without abandoning its core. Where Leo’s Afro-drill roots once emphasized urgency, "Blessing" widens the frame.
It’s a softer entry point, but no less focused. The result feels expansive, especially after the momentum of his Last Quarter EP and the disciplined introspection of Patience featuring R2. Leo’s catalog has crossed 140M Spotify streams, earned MOBO Award nominations, and drawn co-signs from Dave and Ed Sheeran. From breakout moments like Pink Lemonade and Hands On Knees, "Blessing" reads as proof that growth, when handled with intention, can be just as powerful as hunger.
