Levi Goes *Pop*
I was recently implored to check out Pop Levi, whose music was described to me as “Bowie meets Prince.” Ummm…sign me up!
Only a year after his first full length, The Return to Form Black Magick Party, Liverpool’s own Levi Pop is set to release a follow up this summer, titled Never Never Love. Surprisingly, the Bowie meets Prince descriptor is somewhat accurate, although there’s a good helping of electro pop thrown in as well. It also reminded me a bit of what I’ve heard from Alan Wilkis.
I’ve listened to the album a few times now, and continue to enjoy it more with each listen, particularly the dance-oriented tracks. Here are two of my favorites:
Pop Levi – “Wannamama”
And the video for the title track, Never Never Love:
Never Never Love is slated for a July 15 release, but it appears that it will only be available as an import for now. But keep an eye out – I’m sure a US release (digital or physical) will follow.
Cool tunes Gonzo…. “Wannamama” has a familiar bass/synth riff. What am I thinking of?? I can’t nail it.
(by the way, the pic – cross between Austin Powers & Johnny Depp?
I was thinking he looked like a scrawny Ringo Starr actually.
