Leanie Kaleido of Karamelien Releases Ascension Heights, Inspired by Her Father Top Topham of the Yardbirds.

I spoke with singer-songwriter Léanie Kaleido of the UK-based Indie pop duo, Karamelien.  Based in East Grinstead, Karamelien is made up of singer-songwriter, Leanie Kaleido and guitarist Mark Foster.  They released their debut single "Ascension Heights," a song inspired by and featuring  Top Topham's track of the same name. While technically a new project, "Ascension Heights" samples the track by Leanie's father, the late Top Topham, the original founding guitarist of the Yardbirds. Produced by RIDE frontman, Mark Gardener, this song also features an appearance by Morris "Mo" Pleasure, bassist of Earth, Wind and Fire. “My father was a huge influence on me both musically and spiritually, and I will always be grateful to him for that. He was always so supportive of my own work and we often played music together. I sampled his beautiful instrumental track 'Ascension Heights' and wrote the lyrics as a tribute to his spirituality, which was a huge part of his life. All of his children miss his presence greatly.”   Leanie Kaleido More recently, Karemelien also released "Wait For Me," a song about reincarnation, a piano ballad produced by Chris Mars of A Flock of Seagull.  The song was inspired  by a love story that has been made into a book, a story that transcends life and death. Karamelien also released "Lionhearts" an uplifting track about love and unity in difficult times.  https://karamelien.bandcamp.comThank you to Shameless Promotion PRPlaylist and podcast: https://djnocturna.com YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/DJNocturnaListen : http://modsnapradio.comQUEEN OF WANDS with DJ Nocturna RemixedEvery Saturday on ModSnap Radio� KMOD: San Antonio�3pm (HST), 5pm (PST), 6pm (MST), 7pm (CST), 8pm (EST)
