The Return: Leeky Bandz Confronts His Demons on Babadook

Three years. That's how long it took for Leeky Bandz to step away, regroup, and redefine his sound. Following a sudden and necessary hiatus from music, Bandz returns with his most intensely personal and sonically ambitious project yet: the new album, Babadook.

Named for the inescapable, persistent fear that haunts us all, Babadook is a masterful exploration of the anxieties, pressures, and internal battles that shadowed the artist during his break. From gritty, complex lyricism to expansive, cinematic production, Leeky Bandz proves his time away was not a pause, but a period of powerful incubation. Babadook is the sound of an artist reclaiming his narrative, ready to prove that the things that scare you the most are often the things that fuel your greatest art.
