EXCO LEVI RELEASES SIZZLING SINGLE “SIREN”

June 10, 2016June 12, 2016 News Room

4 time JUNO award winner Exco Levi’s newest track SIREN, hits the airwaves June 10th ahead of his strong summer performance schedule and induction into the Brampton Arts Walk of Fame.

Opening with the scene of a man desperate as he is cornered by a squad of police officers, the music video for SIREN brings lyricist Exco Levi’s stark and riveting words to life about a mother’s only son who has gone wild.

SIREN tells a dark and gritty story about the crime and hardship in the inner city of Kingston, Jamaica where the child ‘raised by a village’ gets wild and has ‘nowhere to run to’. Levi’s syncopated roll on the words ‘to-run-to’, brings Toronto into the scene – universalizing the tale of good kid gone bad.

Drum and bass, like the pace of the chase and wailing sax are the perfect back drop for Levi’s powerful vocals as the siren literally wails through the danceable track produced by Reggaeville & Oness Records. The SIREN video was shot in Kingston, Jamaica, by videographer Damion Gayle. With lyrics written by Exco Levi, this is another notch on his belt with almost 100 songs in his career. SIREN will be the 5 time JUNO nominee’s first track of summer. SIREN is a sizzler that will surely have the music lovers talking, as the lyrics tackle the subject of the struggle of growing up and not heeding the warnings of friends and family. SIREN will be available on ITUNES and all online stores June 10th.

EXCO LEVI and his HighPriest band play Dundas Square June 24th and Harbourfront Centre’s Island Soul with Jah 9 on July 30th. He makes his first appearance at Festival D’ÉTÉ DE QUÉBEC with Protoje on July 10th and will rock the stage at Markham Fairgrounds alongside Yellowman and Ritchie Spice on the second day of JAMBANA™ One World Festival on August 1st.
