Chuck Eddy the Village Voice music editor previews LEVI live at Studio 8 Manhattan Center 311 W 34th St 3 fridays, 2006
LEVI
Her early CD single "After The AFterglow", a dysfunctional-family lament worthy of PINK, indicated that this sometime Pigface/Lil Louis crony had pipes of unusual r&b believeability for a white girl. 2004's 'Another Jennifer' had her rapping and souling like a more emo wholesome version of Princess Superstar; 2005's 'LEVI 101' is almost screamo-rap, with the drum machine beats, electric and acoustic riffs, and gurgling effects becoming less rudimentary as the lyrics turn more autobiographical.

"... it's surprising just how good her voice is. ...One of the freshest things to pass by this desk in a while."

"Her CD single and a recent Don Hills set both indicate Levi has pipes of unusual R&B believability for a white girl."

"...why people like myself are drawn to 'little lee lee' so much. is it the lyrics or the fact that it's smart and sassy and innovative or that you display a broad range in your vocals??? for me, it's the whistling that i can't get out of my head long after i listen to it! that's the hook for me.
you need to get this song out there ... it's a hit!
oh, by the way, the album cover is a hit as well ... coolest i've seen in a long time.
