Leon Flames uses “Stalin’s Lapel” as a historical metaphor to describe his musical style, stating, “I named the single ‘Stalin’s Lapel’ because Russians typically didn’t have lapel’s on their uniforms, thus making a lapel something something which is unseen. I liken that to my music and this song in particular.” Leon’s upcoming album, Kings Never Give Up, is expected for release in 2023. Listen to “Stalin’s Lapel” by Leon Flames below.
