In Loving Memory is the fourth studio album by Canadian rapper and producer Sean Leon.[1][2] It was released independently on December 1, 2023. It features guest appearances from Ye, Daniel Caesar, Jessie Reyez, River Tiber, and Dylan Sinclair. It also serves as the soundtrack to the short film, "House of Leon", directed by Rohan Blair-Mangat.
The album was a long listed nominee for the 2024 Polaris Music Prize.[3]
The deluxe edition was released on December 6, 2024, containing eight additional songs.[4][5]
In 2019, Leon and Ye were connected through one of Ye's Sunday Service performances. While working on Daniel Caesar's sophomore album, Case Study 01, fellow collaborator River Tiber recommended Leon to share a demo called "The Glade" with Ye, which would, in turn, become "Up From The Ashes". Leon would end up writing, producing, and providing reference tracks for Jesus is King, Donda, and Donda 2, with the latter album including an early version of "Oxygen", then called, "Sci Fi".
The short film trailer was released on social media on November 21, 2021.
On August 29, 2023, a compilation EP containing all the previously released singles was released.
