Leo Rising is the second full-length studio album by Hip-Hop duo Karmin, released on September 9, 2016 as an Apple Music exclusive, before being released to all other platforms on September 23, 2016. It is the follow-up to their 2014 major label debut Pulses. Preceding the album's release, five singles were released to promote the album: "Along the Road", "Didn't Know You", "Come With Me (Pure Imagination)", "Sugar", and "Blame it on My Heart".
In preparing for the album's release, husband and wife duo Amy Heidemann-Noonan and Nick Noonan met with an astrologist to understand the signs of the horoscope, drawing inspiration from each of them in writing the album's twelve tracks.
Three tracks, "Yesterday" (previously released as a digital single), "Maybelline" and "Young in Love" were originally slated for the album but did not make the final cut. "Young in Love" was later given to artist Borgeous, who released it as a single in late 2016 featuring vocals from Karmin.
The first single from Leo Rising "Sugar" was originally released in October 2014, but has since been amended multiple times with a re-release version of the single impacting radio on April 29, 2016. A new version then appeared on Leo Rising. It is the Taurus track. Three music videos have been released for the single. The couch video was released on October 14, 2014. A teaser for the second music video was released on January 27, 2015 before the videos release on February 28, 2015. A music video for the re-released version of the track was later released on May 16, 2016 and had minor edits made to it.
"Along The Road" was the second single from the album, however was not intended to appear on Leo Rising. It was released on March 24, 2015. It appeared on the album after the duo felt that some songs needed to be swapped out for others. It is the Libra track from the album.
"Didn't Know You" was announced as the lead single from "Leo Rising" before the track listing's shuffle, and impacted radio on June 2, 2015 along with its release to streaming and purchasing platforms. A music video was released to their Vevo page on July 16, 2015.
"Come With Me (Pure Imagination)" was the fourth single from the album, it was a remix/cover of the song "Pure Imagination" by Gene Wilder from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Its music video was released to their YouTube channel shortly after its release before being taken down and uploaded to their Vevo channel on August 19, 2016.
