Levi Cadle
A late-70s-flavoured soul and funk single with deep grooves, vintage synths and a vocal that pours itself into the room.
Levi Cadle's 'February Flood' is a deep-groove soul and funk single that sounds like it walked in straight from 1978. The hi-hats roll, the bass digs in, vintage synths shimmer overhead, and a passionate vocal performance pulls the whole thing together.
What makes it work is restraint — the track never rushes the pocket. The arrangement breathes, the players sit comfortably inside the groove, and the song lets its mood do most of the talking.
It's a love letter to classic soul that still sounds modern enough to feel relevant. A really enjoyable release, and a strong calling card from an artist with a clear sense of who he is.
What lingers after the last note is tone and intent: you can tell this wasn't assembled by committee, and that fingerprint is what separates a track you remember from one you scroll past.
