Establishing the mood with vocal textures, intricate yet immersive keys and atmospheric vocals, we are immediately hypnotized by Levi‘s new single, Shadows.
The song expands into a moody and psychedelic dream-pop frequency which explores the darker themes of the psyche and its long-forgotten corners. The instrumental segments are truly out this world and we appreciate Levi’s exquisite flow throughout the composition.
Speaking on the meaning of Shadows, Levi confesses, “The song was named Shadows since it takes much inspiration from Freud‘s concept of the shadows.”
Levi expands, “It was created to mirror the darkness and coldness of the long secluded aspects of ourselves. The eerieness of the track was conceptualized to embody a sort of world in limbo in which our shadows would live. Many people forsake their deepest desires thinking that they’re not appropriate, hence the hook at the end.”
As Levi sings the lyrics, “Tell me what you really want…” we retreat into introspection and appreciate the artist’s message during this opus, the emotional value of the piece and his wider body of work.
Levi strongly believes in self-expression and discovery of oneself through music, as well as positively influencing moods through up-beat and high energy production. We have added Shadows to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we stream Levi‘s debut single, Essence.
