Leng Hock Drops Super Seductive Debut Single About Brisvegas

Brisbane artist Tristan Agostino, now known as Leng Hock, is breaking down everything you’d expect with Australian R&B.

Known from his previous endeavours under the name Floria, the Chinese-Italian produces and sings on the new track, as well as managing to direct the captivating video. His debut single, under his new name, Same is an extremely dark, emotional, and yet seductive journey into Agostino’s mind.

The song’s music video is primarily shot in Brisbane’s own Chinatown, and depicts the hazy, late-night world where danger crossed paths with pleasure. Inspired by Bryon Tiller’s video for Don’t, Hock said the “video is about the frustration with being trapped in a seemingly mundane suburban lifestyle, and the extreme behaviours that I indulge in to fill that void”.

Guided by a stabbing synthesiser, marching 808 kit, and banging sub bass, Hock’s auto-tuned vocals paint an even more bleak and provocative picture of Brisbane nightlife. With his soothing tone dropping verses like, “Kissing my jībā” (feel free to Google that one) alongside “f-cking you ’til you’re dead”, this certainly isn’t something to put on during drives with your Mum. “It’s the perfect track to listen to late night, smoking weed with beautiful women,” explains Hock.

Going into depths with the tune’s creation, Leng Hock explained how his dispirit affected it’s creation,
“I guess I wrote it in a really dark place. I was just in this big rut in my life, and felt really stuck in Brisbane with just kind of the same thing day in and day out. The hook is, you know 4000 which is Brisbane’s post code, 4000 it’s all the same, fuck it, I’m going insane.”

If this track is anything to go by, we’re definitely looking forward to the Leng Hock’s future work, and it seems like there won’t be much of a wait with the producer planning to release a track a month on during July, August and September.

Hock is deep at work on his debut mixtape, which is set to feature UK and US artists alike, so let’s hope whatever he has up his sleeves, Leng is the answer to Australia’s R&B woes.
