Leon Majcen Announces Next Record ‘The Leaving Kind’, Releases Stellar Single ‘Don’t You Cry’

Leon Majcen is proving to be prolific, but he’s not sacrificing quality for quantity. In tandem with the release of his latest single, the Clearwater, FL native announced on Friday that his next record The Leaving Kind is due out on September 4. And if the tracks released thus far are any indication, it’s going to be an album you won’t want to miss. Marking his 5th album since 2020 – and 4th since 2024 – Majcen has been on an absolute tear releasing music over the past couple of years. And the impressive thing is that all of the releases have been spectacular. After having released “Road Dog Express,” “Slowing Me Down,” and “Turn Me In” over the span of just over a month earlier this summer, it was clear that Majcen had something in the works. Now we know there’s plenty where that came from. Titled “Don’t You Cry,” his latest single is a lonesome road dog’s anthem of sorts that seems to touch on the difficult nature of maintaining relationships while out on the road. Deftly written with a chorus that toes the line between catchy and morose, Majcen manages to turn a somber tune into a track that fans won’t be able to help but sing along to. Check out “Don’t You Cry” here: Heavily influenced by legendary artists who are often described as “the songwriter’s songwriter,” like Van Zandt, Guy Clark, and John Prine, to name a few, Majcen’s music is full of clever lyricism and detailed imagery that’ll transport you to a specific time and place, or at the very lease strike a chord and evoke an emotion that few artists his age are able to tap into. Though he currently resides in Nashville, Majcen hails from the Florida Gulf Coast, and elements of his coastal background are prevalent in his music, both sonically and thematically. With unique vocals as well, his music sticks out in a time when many up and coming artists sound the same, and it seems the scene is finally taking note. Recorded with producer Pat Lyons (Colter Wall, Sam Barber) and released via Evan Honer’s indie label Cloverdale Records, The Leaving Kind is shaping up to be some of Leon Majcen’s best work yet. Check out the album track list below along the singles that have been released thus far. The Leaving Kind Tracklist: “Slowing Me Down” “Falling Short” “Road Dog Express” “Turn Me In” “Don’t You Cry” “Float on Down” “Honeybee” “Keep You Off My Mind” “The Long Way Home” “The Leaving Kind” If you like what you’ve heard so far from Leon Majcen, get out there and catch him in concert. He’s heading across the pond this August and then will be touring the Midwest, Canada, and Pacific Northwest over the next couple of months with the likes of Briscoe and Paul Cauthen. If he’s coming to a town near you, you won’t want to miss it.

Bunnie Xo Reveals She Bought A House In LA: “Going To Be West Coasting A Lot”

Sounds like the car has been a long time coming. The bombshell divorce between Jelly Roll and his now-ex wife, Bunnie Xo, was finalized back on July 17, just 60 days after the “Save Me” singer filed his complaint in Williamson County, Tennessee. Bunnie shared video over the weekend as she bought the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan, which starts at around $442,000 and can run over $550,000 depending on the model and features on the vehicle. View this post on Instagram There are likely plenty of people who think she got paid in the divorce and then went out and bought a luxury car, but Bunnie revealed during the Ask, Tell, Confess segment of her Dumb Blonde podcast that she has been in the process of buying this vehicle for a year now, long before divorce was on the table. Bunnie is quite successful (and rich) on her own, even without her husband. She’s built up a huge following of her own, and even revealed that she made six figures on a single episode of her podcast in which she talked about the divorce (though it’s since been deleted). It’s also not clear just how much – if anything – she got paid in the separation. We know that Jelly Roll allowed her to keep the “dream house” that they were building, but the details of the settlement between the two are largely confidential. The Marital Dissolution Agreement filed with the court to finalize the divorce reveals that the couple reached a settlement agreement to split all of their assets, including real estate, bank accounts, life insurance, and their aircraft, but that’s about all we know. But Bunnie says it was meant to be an IVF present to herself because of tough that journey has been for her, which she’s been open about, and so she clarified that the car has “nothing to do with anything having to do with that part of my life” in terms of her recent divorce: “We added a new addition to the family, Snow White, baby. I just need to let you guys know, your girl came to LA for the past 10 days and I needed a vacation. We have been having a blast, but the car has been in the works for a year. So I literally have been planning on buying a Rolls-Royce Cullinan since last year, it was gonna be my IVF present to myself because of all the s*** I had to go through, and it just so happens that it landed at this time in my life. It has nothing to do with anything having to do with that part of my life. It literally was a present to myself for getting through the IVF and just kind of like a celebratory gift that I wanted to do. So that’s why we have her, and we named her Snow White. She purrs like a friggin kitten.” Bunnie also revealed that she bought an “LA house” and plans to be on the West Coast a lot more now: “We’re only going back home for a week and then we’re back in LA because why? We bought an LA house, baby. We got an LA compound, I am so excited. You guys know I’ve been wanting a West Coast house forever. I had one in Vegas and Vegas, I don’t know, just isn’t me anymore. So I’ve been trying to slowly make my way to Cali, and here we are, baby. So we found the dopest little crib… out here in a really good part of town and so we are going to be West Coasting, baby, a lot. We’re back. I’m so happy though, this week’s been really awesome. As much as it’s been like us going, going, going and just like doing everything that we’ve ever dreamed of, it’s still been like a recharge for the soul.” There rumors she’s in talks for reality TV show, which could have something to do with purchasing a house in California, but we’ll just have to wait and see: @xomgitsbunnie New #asktellconfess ♬ original sound – Bunnie Xo The post Bunnie Xo Reveals She Bought A House In LA: “Going To Be West Coasting A Lot” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
