Artist Taylor Tucker wrote this song after being hit on in a New York bar, and you’ll know exactly what type of guy she is talking about.
“The inspiration for ‘Leather Shoes’ came when I was at a bar in Manhattan,” says Taylor. “A guy approached me at this bar with some funky white leather shoes and stories to tell for days.

Taylor’s debut EP, The Leather Shoes EP, will be released on July 15th. Check out Taylor’s track below, exclusively on Galore, and if by some ridiculous chance you don’t relate one bit, consider yourself very, very lucky.
