Paul Leonard Morgan makes original music that fans of Massive Attack to Mozart will appreciate. Imagine a fusion of John Barry, the Go! Team and Portishead, and you might start to get an idea of this incredible album. It’s as refreshing as it is unpredictable, the juiciness of the compositions render this an addictive listen.

BAFTA Winner & Ivor Novello Nominee
Super-Composer
Releases Debut Album

“…marvellous empathetic co-producer/arranger, PLM, has space to paint a finely judged chiaroscuro backdrop of strings and reach the very core of the song…” - Q Magazine

“Sumptuous orchestrations.” – Uncut

“Overwhelmingly lush arrangements” - The Independent

“Paul is one of my most favourite people in the world to work with. I love swapping ideas and playing music with him. He is absolutely all about the music, a right clever clogs and I feel blessed to have met him!” – Isabel Campbell

For once there is an artist who can justify the hype…. this artist is Paul Leonard-Morgan.

At the risk of shamelessly namedropping, Paul has worked with the likes of Snow Patrol, Belle & Sebastian, The Young Knives, Sharleen Spiteri, Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan, and worked extensively with acclaimed composer Craig Armstrong (Moulin Rouge).

Along with his prolific production and arrangement credits, Paul is the rising star of the film, TV and advertising world. At the age of 25 he won the BAFTA for Best New Composer, and later won a further BAFTA nomination for Best Original Music for Television. He has also picked up an Ivor Novello nomination for his score to the ITV drama Fallen. Paul is now currently composing the score for his second series of hit BBC drama Spooks as well as following in the footsteps of revered composer John Williams (Star Wars, ET, Jurrasic Park) by scoring the new US Olympic anthem.

Paul is now ready to unleash his highly anticipated debut album on the world. FILMTALES promises to be a unique listening experience. With scant regard for traditional genre confinements, the album is a collection of vocal and instrumental songs, breathtaking string arrangements, haunting vocals and moving beats. The album boasts collaborations with Steve Mason (Beta Band), Richard Colburn (Belle & Sebastian), Jenna (Un-cut, Shapeshifters) and Mercury Prize nominee Isobel Campbell.

FILMTALES is released in 12th November.
