In the debut solo album Love Rhino, singer-songwriter Sunny Levine delivers a sparsely textured chronicle of love gone wrong. Sunny presents his side of the story as “a glimpse into a bizarre breakup set to classic California sounds”. Intertwining quirky, insightful lyrics and laidback beats, Sunny maps a relationship’s bumpy path.
Sunny comes from a strong musical heritage, which becomes increasingly clear as the album progresses. His grandfather is Quincy Jones, his father is producer Stewart Levine (Simply Red, Joe Cocker, BB King, Dr. John, Minnie Ripperton, and Jamie Cullum) and his uncle is producer QD3 (Tupac Shakur, Ice Cube). Sunny followed in the family footsteps producing artists such as The Happy Mondays, Mickey Avalon, Pete Yorn, and Hugh Masekela, with his own solo album on the backburner. It’s been a long time coming, but here it is... Sunny Levine "Gun To My Head" from Max Goldblatt on Vimeo.
Thank you for producing the "Break Up" album. It sounds great, especially the banjos over the beat.
Recently, I found "Catalina" by the Trilambs somewhere on the web. My, that is greatness - the arrangement as well as the lyrics.
And "Orelia Has Orchestra" is already one of my favourite productions of yours even though I have yet to make it round to finding a way of getting it in a higher resolution than the lamentable 128k of iTunes. Here's hoping that you will work again with Orelia. She's a great writer with a beautiful voice.
I remember at one point a while ago that you posted a bulletin or something about maybe making a duo album with Howie B. Is that still in the works? I hope it is.
hey this is kauan jared friend from italy. i dont know if you remember me but i saw the video and i really liked it. keep up the great work!! hope all is well. baci!
Hello Mr Levine, having recently entered your name as search string on youtube led me to find an artist called Orelia Has Orchestra. What a great discovery! Is that album you produced together already out on CD? I sure do hope so. I guess I need my Sunny Levine production fix now ;-) I love the strings on "Love Like Sunshine" and the beats on "Hay there Gorgeous". Thanks in advance for info. Yours Y.
Hey! Thanks so much! Great to see you again! Always great music & great vibes here Hope your day is going well & the rest of the week is even better! xo
Hi Sunny ...Our story is amazing and it's all down to music. Music has also reunited us 2, very old friends Julie Gordon of Happy Mondays and me claire of Matayo. Julie has recently been collaborating with us on some new songs too. PLease check us out and if you like what we do let us know...C xx
please release a follow-up album to "Love Rhino" soon. I absolutely love the soundscapes on that album. Btw, what does a Yaeili Tambour (spelling?) look like?
