<p>The Unum Festival is in partnership with Swallow Events who have made it possible for the concerts to be Covid-19 secured and Swallow Events will be the company to provide the rapid testing services for the event. The Unum Festival<a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/seth-troxler-leads-line-up-of-first-festival-with-rapid-covid-19-testing-in-2021-2861176" target="_blank"> announces </a>that they are certain that with this partnership they can &#8220;<em>ensure everyone who enters is tested and virus-free before entering the event itself. We are taking all measures required to ensure safety measures are followed at all times and there will be zero tolerance on this matter.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>As the first to attempt this, The Unum Festival will be setting the stage quite literally for what the future of live in-person music will become and there have ensured their show-goers that it will be safe to purchase tickets today. Tickets are currently available <a href="https://unumfestival.com/tickets/">here</a> for early purchase.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Swedish singer/songwriter LÉON has dropped a new song and, &#8220;<em>And It Breaks My Heart</em>,&#8221; accompanying with a music video. The track is a follow up to previously released singles, &#8220;<a href="https://youtu.be/NuTeCBBILKQ"><em>In a Stranger&#8217;s Arms</em></a>&#8221; and &#8220;<a href="https://youtu.be/dPBbeBAJCew"><em>Who You Lovin</em></a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>LÉON, full name Lotta Lindgren, has continued a hot streak of heartbroken bangers with a brand-new song titled &#8220;<em>And It Break My Heart.</em>&#8221; The song is serving a nostalgic vibe, tinged with a series of beautiful strings and thumping beat contrasting such emotional mood.</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>Think of days when I was yours seems so long ago / Now we&#8217;re standing in the cold, nervous when we talk / Such a sadness in your eyes and now you&#8217;re looking down / You&#8217;re trying hardest not to show it,</em>&#8221; LÉON sings about the good old time when love was still well and alive.</p>
<p>This recent offering reminds us of her one of the best works from her self-titled first era, &#8220;<em>You and I,</em>&#8221; a sad banger that will make you want to dance through the teary eyes. Check out the song and its visual featuring the storyline of a couple on the edge breaking apart, which accelerates a tear-jerking experience listening to the track.</p>

<p>Lindgren first broke into the music scene back in 2015 with <a href="https://twitter.com/katyperry/status/635169855230996480?s=20">Katy Perry-approved</a> tune &#8220;<a href="https://youtu.be/u69lXmBs08o"><em>Tired of Talking</em></a>&#8221; from debut EP &#8216;<em>Treasure.</em>&#8216; With this EP, she was initially signed to major label Columbia Records and dropped two more EPs in 2017: &#8216;<em>For You</em>&#8216; and &#8216;<em>Surround Me.</em>&#8216;</p>
<p>In 2018, LÉON parted from Columbia and made a new deal with BMG to jumpstart her very first proper era. After introducing two acclaimed soulful tracks &#8220;<a href="https://youtu.be/_40kaMTH5Dc"><em>Baby Don&#8217;t Talk</em></a>&#8221; and &#8220;<a href="https://youtu.be/5eRJE4j9Cjk"><em>Falling</em></a>&#8220;, the singer subsequently dropped her debut eponymous full-length in 2019 to wide-ranging positive reviews for her unique husky voice and gorgeously-written sad love songs.</p>

<p>With her emerging stardom to the mainstream, the singer landed the &#8216;<em>You and I</em>&#8216; tour in support of the record around Europe and America, including a show in London&#8217;s Islington Assembly Hall back in April 2019. Since then, she has been unstoppably shared music with fans.</p>
<p>So far, LÉON has gained over 440 million total global streams and seems to launch the second record anytime soon this year. Check out &#8220;<em>And It Breaks My Heart</em>&#8221; now on every platform, and keep up with her on social media: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/itsleonmusic/">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/leon/">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/itsleonmusic">Twitter</a>.</p>
