Leonard Charles - Breaking Over You feat. Guilty Simpson
Here's Leonard Charles on the making-of 'Breaking Over You': "I wanted to make something that sounded 'Lo-Fi' enough to work as a follow up to Basement Donuts, but also have an air of 'Hi-Fi' to it. It's a raw track that expresses the feeling of relationships. Guilty [Simpson] really came through and I feel like the end result is a balanced, going in-and-out of love track that anyone can relate to."
