Leonie Sherif’s “TWILIGHT (Sp Deville Remix)” isn’t just a remix — it’s a total immersion. Reimagined with a darker, more seductive pulse, this version of her already soulful alt-RnB track pushes deeper into the shadows, transforming it into a late-night ritual of rhythm, feeling, and sonic seduction.
Leonie has always been an artist who works beyond the surface, and this track is no exception. Where the original “TWILIGHT” captured sensuality and emotion through a dreamy, slow-burning groove, Sp Deville’s remix brings a new weight — grounding the track in textured percussion and an Amapiano-infused bassline that doesn’t just move the body, but stirs something inside. It’s sultry. It’s smoky. And it’s spellbinding.
From the opening seconds, you’re pulled into a mood — not just a song. The haunting electronic layers create a sense of space that feels both intimate and vast, like the quiet after midnight where thoughts echo and feelings linger. The percussion dances around the beat with a tactile kind of tension, giving the remix a ritualistic, almost trance-like quality. It’s music made not just to be heard, but to be felt.
Leonie’s vocals are the anchor — and they’re nothing short of mesmerizing. Her voice here is soft at the edges but weighted with emotion, like a whispered secret you’re meant to hold close. It floats above the production, never overshadowed, always in control. She doesn’t just sing the song — she breathes life into it. There’s something incredibly powerful about her vulnerability. You feel the longing, the ache, the control — all wrapped in one vocal performance.
What makes this remix truly stand out is how it manages to expand on the original’s emotional intensity while shifting its atmosphere entirely. Where the original had an ethereal, sensual feel, this version leans into mystery and magnetism. The remix is darker, yes, but also more grounded — more felt. It’s like the difference between twilight and midnight: both beautiful, but in very different ways.
Leonie Sherif is clearly not just a singer — she’s a storyteller, a mood-setter, and a world-builder. Her background as a mentor, producer, and even a perfumer is evident in her approach to music. TWILIGHT wasn’t just a song; it was part of an olfactive-musical experience born from her artisan fragrance — a composition of candied berries and smoky incense, paired with sonic transcendence. That multi-sensory approach bleeds into everything she does, especially here.
Drawing from influences like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Timbaland, and The Neptunes, Leonie’s music walks the line between nostalgia and forward-thinking soul. Her signature airy, evocative vocal tone channels that legacy while remaining fully her own — never derivative, always fresh. This remix just proves how versatile and adaptive her artistry really is.
Beyond her music, Leonie’s story adds even more depth to the track. Living with chronic conditions like endometriosis and adenomyosis, she brings a layer of emotional truth to her work that goes beyond performance. It’s not just art for art’s sake — it’s survival turned into sound. It’s pain turned into beauty.
In a world where much of modern R&B feels overproduced or emotionally distant, “TWILIGHT (Sp Deville Remix)” is refreshingly raw and immersive. It’s the kind of track you put on when the lights are low, when you’re in your feelings, or when you just want to be wrapped in a sound that speaks to the soul.
Leonie Sherif isn’t just remixing songs — she’s remixing the experience of what music can be. If this track is any indication of what’s next, the future of alternative R&B is in very good hands.
