Get ready to have your heartstrings tugged, folks, because Liverpool's own Lois Levin is back with her poignant new single, ‘Felt’. This track is a tantalising glimpse into her upcoming EP, 'Motions', set to drop on July 4th.
If you’ve been keeping an ear to the ground, you’ll know Lois has been making serious waves since her 2021 debut, garnering attention from Spotify's editorial playlists, A-list rotation on Jazz FM, and airplay across BBC Radio 2, BBC 6Music, and BBC Merseyside. ‘Felt’ is just another jewel in her increasingly sparkling crown.
With vocals that drip with emotion and lyrics that hit you right in the gut, ‘Felt’ aches with a quiet, intimate desperation. Lois expertly weaves her old-school inspirations with fresh, contemporary touches, showcasing an artist who's not just ready for the spotlight, but practically demanding it. As Lois herself puts it, ‘‘Felt’ is about the ache for real connection-craving to be seen, touched, and understood in a world that often feels emotionally distant. It’s a quiet plea for intimacy wrapped in hesitation, loneliness, and a longing to feel something true.’
Hailing from Birkenhead, Lois possesses a voice that belies her years, sounding like she could effortlessly hold her own alongside the legends of yesteryear. Yet, her sound is firmly planted in the present, a delicious mash-up of urban jazz and modern indie-pop. From the soulful depths of Marvin Gaye and Billie Holiday to the raw energy of Arctic Monkeys and Florence + The Machine, Lois's influences are a vibrant tapestry that informs her direct yet eclectic writing style.
Her journey truly began after a chance encounter with Liverpool producer Jon Withnall. Demos were swapped, ideas flowed during lockdown, and before long, the magic started happening in the studio. Her 2021 debut, ‘Burden’, was an instant hit, earning support from press heavyweights like Wonderland and EARMILK. Since then, it’s been a whirlwind of sold-out shows at the Royal Albert Hall's Elgar Room and Pizza Express Live, alongside electrifying hometown gigs at the Jacaranda and an iconic BBC Introducing session at The Cavern Club.
Don't miss your chance to catch Lois live at her headline London show at St Pancras Old Church on June 12th. Tickets are flying, so nab yours now via AEG Presents. Trust us, this is one artist you'll want to say you saw before she truly explodes. For more, find Lois on Instagram, Facebook, and X.
