LEONA BERLIN

FIRST DAY – OUT NOW

This song is very personal. It’s a reflection on love that endures through both beauty and hardship—a love that I’m lucky and blessed to experience. I tried to capture the feeling of still being fascinated by someone, even after a long time—like seeing them through fresh eyes every day. When a relationship has been through storms, moments of doubt, and emotional turbulence, but always finds its way back to a shared center—a place of closeness and safety, like shelter under an umbrella.

There’s a sense of growth, vulnerability, and mutual reflection, and the realization that “home” isn’t a place—it’s the presence of that one person who always pulls you back in.

The production journey of this one was so funny: I dreamt it! It’s always a huge act of will to get out of bed and get the idea down, so it’s not gone in the morning. But I did it and went back to bed 2 hours later. And here we are, this romantic breezy disco vibe is yours!

FIRST DAY is part of the lead-up to my new album scheduled for September 10, 2025. More to come very soon!

LIVE at A38 Ship Budapest – THINKING ABOUT YOU

We had the honor of playing at A38 Ship in Budapest last year. Here is our live version of THINKING ABOUT YOU.

I wrote this song when my boyfriend of five years broke up with me. At the time, I thought he was the love of my life. I learned a lot from it. But only in retrospect. Y’all know how shit like this feels in the moment… So I tried to express it through music.


The fact that Casey Benjamin played a sax solo on the original version makes it even more special to me ♡

This is the fourth single in the lead-up to my new album.

Enjoy listening! The track is also available for download if you buy it on BandCamp .

If you like it, spread the word. ♡

BRIGHTER DAY – OUT NOW

With this song I wanted to make a chill, late-summer vibe with a touch of 90s nostalgia, making you think of cruising into the sunset in an old Mercedes. Magro played some dope bouncy hip hop drums and Ulf Kleiner layed down a blissful piano solo in the second half of the song.

In the lyrics I’m exploring existential themes, like the feeling of losing my grip on reality and slipping into uncertainty. I reflect on the groundlessness that comes when there is nothing left to hold onto—no dreams, no ambitions, no meaning. Yet, instead of drama, I feel a strangely calm, neutral sense of acceptance, even as I am aware of standing on the edge of madness. This subtle, bittersweet message is for those of you who like going deeper.

OFF THE HOOK – OUT NOW

OFF THE HOOK is a snapshot of me catching my breath, hitting the pause button, and chilling for a moment. It’s a reminder that I am perfect as I already am, where no amount of achievement will make me more and no amount of failure will make me less. This song is about surrendering into peace instead of trying to win an unwinnable, imagined rat race.

This is the third single of my upcoming album and one of my favorites. Lean back and enjoy!

If you like the song, condsider buying it and share it with a friend. ♡

TAKING OFF – OUT NOW

Leona Berlin’s “Taking Off” is a vibrant anthem of liberation and rhythm, drawing listeners into a cosmic dance of imagination and freedom. With metaphors of space travel and celestial vibes, the song portrays life as a dynamic dance floor, emphasizing empowerment and clarity through its exhilarating beats.

Excited to share this song with you all!

WHO? – new single OUT NOW

My new song, “Who?”, is like a personal diary that gives you a deep look into my struggles and how I find my way out of them. The song takes you on a ride from me feeling really down on myself to a place of inspiring clarity and motivation. It’s meant for anyone who’s ever had doubts but keeps going anyway.
