This Is Gonna Sting a Little: Leo Dante Doses Us with ‘Medicine

PRESS RELEASE FROM SHUTTER UP & LISTEN - APRIL 25, 2025

Just ahead of Mental Health Awareness Month, Leo Dante unveils his powerful new single, “Medicine” — a raw and resonant pop-rock track that dives headfirst into the complexities of mental health. Co-written by Alessandro Rütten (Leo Dante), Liam Heinze, Maria Christensen, and Wesley Steed, “Medicine” captures the haunting cycle of intrusive thoughts, the weight of anxiety, and the yearning for something — anything — to numb the pain.

Produced by Leo Dante, Liam Heinze, and Myles Priest, the track fuses gritty guitars and hard-hitting drums with Dante’s soaring, emotionally charged vocals. It’s a sonic storm that mirrors the inner chaos many face in silence. “Medicine” doesn’t just showcase Dante’s artistry — it opens the door for honest conversation, giving a voice to the struggles that often go unseen. Bold, cathartic, and unapologetically vulnerable, “Medicine” More than just a song, it is a timely reminder that acknowledging pain is a powerful first step— and that no one struggles alone.
