Rediscovering Music: Meli Levi’s “All Things May Be”

Meli Levi’s latest release, “All Things May Be,” is a captivating blend of acoustic guitar textures and emotive vocals. The track opens with delicate guitar work, soon joined by a beautifully melodic and striking chorus. The vocal layering in the latter part of the song evokes a Radiohead-esque quality, enhancing its folk-rock vibe. The arrangement and performance are both meticulous and heartfelt, making this track a standout.

After a transformative five-year hiatus, Meli Levi returns to the music scene with a fresh perspective influenced by meditation-based healing techniques. Their latest EP, “All Things May Be,” reflects this journey, showcasing a tapestry of memories and emotions. Produced at Boxer Lodge Studios in Napa, CA, the five-song collection is a follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut EP, “Crowned.” The new EP will be introduced by the single “Echo In A Valley,” and it embodies a mix of folk-rock, alt-rock, and blues.

Meli’s music draws from a variety of influences, including their experiences with complex familial relationships, recovery from substance abuse, and their identity as a queer female in the industry. Their classical training in choir, combined with a rebellious turn towards guitar-based songwriting, has shaped their unique sound. Meli has received praise from Seattle Sound Magazine and was a local favorite in the 2023 NPR Music Tiny Desk Contest. They have performed at numerous festivals, including SXSW and the Portland Pride Festival. “All Things May Be” showcases Meli’s richly expressive vocals, imaginative arrangements, and thoughtful production, solidifying their place in the music world.
