Leo Sawikin Explores Love’s Risks in New Single “Jumping From So High”

Leo Sawikin once again puts his heart front and center with his latest single, "Jumping From So High," a preview of his highly anticipated EP, “Edge of Everything.” Produced by Phil Ek, known for his work with bands such as Built to Spill, The Shins, and Modest Mouse, Sawikin presents a song that straddles the intimate and the cinematic.

"Jumping From So High" is presented as a meditation on love, fear, and the gravity of trust. Sawikin captures that moment when you decide to open your heart to another person, even at the risk of being hurt. Because of this, the song becomes a reflection of our vulnerabilities, where the leap into the void is both an act of courage and an experience fraught with uncertainty.

The phrase "Jumping From So High" serves as the guiding thread of the narrative, in which Sawikin plunges into an emotional free fall, delving into the contradictions of intimacy in each verse.

“This song is about the beauty and bravery of allowing yourself to fall in love,” Sawikin shares. “Of opening up, letting your guard down, and stepping into the unknown with your heart fully exposed. It captures that delicate space where vulnerability and hope intersect—where there’s fear but also freedom in choosing to trust someone else with your emotions.”

Ek’s clean, expansive production reinforces the sense of immersion, while the artist’s voice conveys both fragility and determination. The result is a song that invites the listener to join him on that leap, with all the vulnerability and possibility that come with loving freely.

“Jumping From So High” is for those who dare to trust, to break down emotional barriers, and to expose themselves without defenses. Sawikin doesn't romanticize pain or fear but recognizes them as an inseparable part of the experience of giving oneself completely to another.

It's an invitation to let go, to accept the paradox that love can be both salvation and risk. A piece that confirms that the New Yorker is building his own language within alternative pop, marked by introspection, poetry, and a sensibility that feels deeply human.
