North Carolina-based artist Levi DaRosa has an uncanny ability to find the silver lining in life’s ups and downs, a trait that’s beautifully reflected in her music. Introduced to the world of music at a young age through her mother’s cleaning jams, Levi developed a profound appreciation for the art form.
Her dedication to mastering instruments and developing her vocal talent in school soon turned into a passion for using music as a means of emotional expression. Making her official artistic entrance in March this year, she dropped her debut EP, Memoirs Of A Goddess, which was swiftly followed by her first single “1995.”
Her sound combines her musical expertise with pure talent, a smooth, soft voice that aims to uplift listeners, no matter what they are going through. Her goal is to make people feel good about their lives, and “They Don’t (Make’m Like You),” a track lifted from her first EP, is a perfect example of this ethos.
“They Don’t (Make’m Like You)” is a poignant ode to cherished memories that slip away too soon. The track offers a sultry, downtempo R&B sound that blends with Levi’s romantic and heartfelt vocals. It’s a song that speaks to the universal experience of relationships ending sooner than expected or feelings of inadequacy and regret. Yet, through her soft-spoken yet heartfelt delivery, Levi conveys that these moments are integral in shaping our lives.
With R&B beats, warm piano notes and slick guitar flutters that provide a warm backdrop for Levi’s emotive vocals, her velvety voice carries the weight of nostalgia and longing, making the listener feel every word. Accompanying the single is a beautifully shot music video directed by Levisha Johnson and filmed in South Charlotte.
The video follows a couple on an idyllic date night, capturing moments of joy and intimacy. As the video progresses, flashbacks of love contrast with scenes of Levi singing alone in the same spots where the couple once walked together. This visual storytelling adds a compelling visual element to the song’s story, highlighting the lingering presence of past relationships and the bittersweet nature of memories, resulting in a dazzling release from an exciting talent on the rise.
