1st) … Read Full Bio ↴There are at least six artists/bands, who are called "Leslie".
1st) Leslie, born February 4, 1985 in Le Mans (France) is a young R 'n B singer with French, Vietnamese and Polynesian origins, revealed by a show on the M6 channel "Graines de Star" (Seeds of Star). She works with the duet Koré & Skalp, of which one of the two members is her husband.
From 2004 until 2005, she gained enormous fame in France with her LPs "Je suis et je resterai" and "Mes couleurs" with the hitsingles "Sobri (Notre Destin)" with Amine and "Et J'Attends". In 2006, she released her first single of her third album called "L'envers de la terre".
2nd) Rising out of Charleston, SC, the city of dignity and grace, three musicians have come together to form the dynamic trio known as LESLIE. Combining raw energy and powerful musicianship, Sadler Vaden (vocals, guitar), Jason Fox (bass) and Jonathan Carman (drums) infuse rock, pop, and blues to create an honest, in-your-face rock n roll sound that is becoming all their own.
Formed in October of 2004, LESLIE spent the better part of 2005 recording their first E.P., touring, and building a fan base around the southeast. In 2006, LESLIE has already recorded a new collection of songs with Jake Sinclair (The Films), and has begun touring heavily as a part of their grassroots-style campaign to the top.
LESLIE draws influences from the likes of The Who, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Rolling Stones, Neil Young, and Oasis. The influences have collaborated to form one solid three piece band that challenges the new wave rock of today. The band is currently on tour in support of their new collection of songs labeled "Bee St. Sessions".
3rd) The ever-incestuous Washington D.C. scene was the fertile ground that gave birth to Leslie--a one-off project boasting members of Shudder to Think, Jawbox, and Edsel. Avant-pop for the international set or tricked out rock-n-roll for our outerspace mailorder customers. Whichever it is, Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha offered to produce a full-length album for the trio, and whatever you think of him, we still think that was pretty cool. (Also available as part of Jade Tree’s retrospective CD, The First Five Years [JT1050])
4th) A Mexican indie rock band from Guadalajara city with a first album called "National Star". The band's name is spelled L E S L I E and is integrated by Kaiser, Oby, DaN and Alex. Their sounds are highly influenced by the 80's pop glam music.
5th) A young Czech pop-rock band. Their first album "Fragments of The World" came out in early 2018.

Capitales Riches
Leslie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Plus le temps de rien
On n'a plus le temps d'avoir de rêves
On n'a plus besoin
C'est la vie qui nous va mal
Le dollar qui plane
Au-dessus de l'hémisphère
Qui me donne un goût amer
Un cri de désespoir nous allie
Par ici
Triste monde qui pâlit
En quête de pouvoir
En quête de pouvoir
Plus de mélancolie
Quand on pourrait croire
Que l'on vit tous en harmonie
REFRAIN :
Je cherche le visage de la liberté
Si ce n'est qu'un langage
Je le trouverai
Je cherche le contre-pas
De la capitale
Car elle me dit tout bas
Que plus rien ne va
Sans argent
Je ne suis personne
Je ne suis que l'ombre d'un homme
Le pétrole a mis feu à nos poches
Où sont les coupables
A tout va et à tout perdre
On s'engage à vivre
Un véritable combat de fer
Contre ce nouvel empire
Un cri de désespoir nous allie
Par ici
Triste monde qui pâlit
En quête de pouvoir
En quête de pouvoir
Plus de mélancolie
Quand on pourrait croire
Que l'on vit tous en harmonie
*REFRAIN*
Je cherche à atteindre
Bien de plus paix en moi
La vie m'est si chère
Comme le disait mon père
Prends le temps d'apprécier
Chacune de tes heures
Pour approcher le vrai bonheur
*REFRAIN*
(Merci à Hélé pour cettes paroles)
The lyrics of Leslie's song "Capitales Riches" reflect on the current state of our society, where there's a lack of time for the important things in life, such as love and dreams. The song talks about how life has become consumed by money and power, with the dollar being the root of all evil. The lyrics highlight the despair and hopelessness that people feel in this system where money rules everything. The chorus speaks of seeking the face of freedom and finding a counterpoint to the capital, as it whispers that nothing is going well. The song's message is clear: we need to take the time to appreciate life and strive for a better world that goes beyond money and power.
