He continued: ‘I tried to perform at a bar as this sexy singer, and it was quite the opposite for me. I was really active at the time because I was still finding out about myself.
However, ‘Now, if you put me on a bar, this is a different story … Now with all my music, I have many more experiences from living these songs. I am 38 years old now and it comes from a completely different place … I get it from my own life experiences. ‘
Although the Coyote’s ugly experience was ‘very shocking to the computer’, Leon did not look back at that time in a negative light.

Now, two decades after the release of Coyote Ugly, Rhymes marks the event with the release of the memoix of the four songs he recorded for the film’s soundtrack.
“The music really resonates with people this time around and they gave it to their daughters,” he noted.
‘There’s something about this. So, I’m happy to take the four songs I did for the film and re-release them, as a memoir, as a dance mix, which gives me more of an approach than I did the first time. ‘
