Singer-songwriter and producer Leonie Sherif returns with ‘SUNBURN’, a new single that expands her multidisciplinary universe across music, scent and storytelling. Linked to her fragrance house, SENSE’N’ by Sherif, the track also serves as the emotional foundation for a corresponding scent, continuing her practice of building immersive worlds that move between sound and smell.
Written and produced in her home studio in September 2024, shortly after her release ‘NGMB (Never Get Me Back)’, ‘SUNBURN’ explores what comes after emotional collapse. Rather than focusing on rupture, the track sits in the exhaustion, processing and quiet endurance that follow upheaval.
Sonically, it blends electronic R&B with stripped rhythmic movement, shaped by an evolving Jersey club pulse that never quite settles. The production feels fluid and organic, with shifting textures and dynamic percussion, while her intimate vocal takes remain largely untouched to preserve their raw emotional core.
Entirely self-produced, with light co-production from her father DahSherif and mixing/mastering by SP Deville, ‘SUNBURN’ marks Phase Three of her ongoing Celestial series. The track stands as a testament to resilience, endurance, and the slow process of healing; where sound, scent and memory converge.
