FolkAfter two years since his last full album, New York folk singer songwriter, Robert Leslie's Summer 2018 album, "Masks and Mirrors" was released for pre-order on iTunes and pre-save on Spotify today the 28th of July, 2018. Its official release date is the 31st of July.While we unwrap and digest what is expected to be a monumental release that will be cherished more than Kim Kardashian's fake butt cheeks (when she's gone), we thought we'd review one of his most highly revered records to date, "So Long".Now this record is very dark, sad and deeply emotional. It's about saying goodbye and never looking back. It's about trying your best and never being adequate, about lost love, and hard feelings. It will bring the hardest, most macho man or woman to tears. It's about hard times, it's about struggle, it's more about downs than ups, it's as close to depressing as any record in history has ever gotten. It reeks of despair but lacks enough drive for any real desperation, and worst of all, it will make you crave more - so hopefully the fact that it is so loved is not a reflection of the mental state of the world today but simply an appreciation of life as it is and good music as we know it.
