Leroy Jönsson Drops Black Tears - A Catchy and Stadium-Worthy Indie Rock Anthem

With his first release of 2025, Hamburg-based singer/songwriter and producer Leroy Jönsson delivers an upbeat and stadium-ready piece of indie rock genius. Finding inspiration in bands like The Killers and Wet Leg, Leroy's latest single, Black Tears, is a burst of vibrant and euphoric sonic energy.

Inspiring, inviting, and deeply infectious, it's a tune that gets stuck in your head after just one listen - the sign of an earworm that feels destined to echo through arenas and playlists alike.

Unpacking the message behind the music, Jönsson says the track is essentially about authenticity. "In our current world, AI is becoming more and more fluid and pushing more and more into the foreground," he says. "The song wants to turn away from that and show real feelings, love, dreams, and people".

Recorded in the artist's own studio and under his independent label VAULT RECORDS, Black Tears is unquestionably one of the catchiest tunes I've heard all year. It's been expertly put together and produced and, in a just world, would be soaring to the top of most charts.
