LAURIE LEVINE
MUSICIAN/COMPOSER/SOUND DESIGNER/PRODUCER
SINGER-SONGWRITER
Over multiple album releases, tours and festival performances, SAMA-nominated (South African Music Awards) artist and producer Laurie Levine has meticulously crafted a career that has turned her into a singer-songwriter of real substance.
With her eight release, ‘DUNES’, she delivers a collection of atmospheric, transporting songs that signal a thrilling new frontier for this already acclaimed artist. In her new body of work, Levine explores a lush and sensual world of electric guitars, beats, synths and spacious reverbs. Dark at times, introspective and pierced with a sublime beauty, the songs reverberate and shimmer with otherworldly elegance and intelligence. Through the years, she has explored different soundscapes and moods, but through it all, what has remained constant is the rich lyricism that is bought home by the intimacy and emotionality of her vocal delivery. The result is a beautiful balance of delicacy and power.​
