First Look: Paul Menel And The Essentials – They Call Her Leaf

Former IQ frontman Paul Menal has teamed up with Fuzzbox’s Vix Vox to create and infectious groove in the form of “They Call Her Leaf”.  The song itself has a very retro feel, in a good way, and shows that Pauls voice gets better with age. In concert with Vix, the song improves all the more. “They Call Her Leaf” is a well thought out pop anthem in the rough with soaring vocals, sonically harmonic guitars and a groove throughout that never lets up. Well done!
