</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">R&amp;B/Neo Soul singer <a href="https://www.instagram.com/levellebkc/">LeVelle</a> aka LB, has officially released his new single titled &#8220;<strong>Why</strong>&#8220;. Hailing from the historic city of Kansas City, this musician is ready to show the world how gifted and musically talented he is. On this new release LeVelle does an excellent job of taping in with his audience as he remains authentic and real in his lyrical digest. He quickly reminds listeners of &#8220;Why&#8221; the R&amp;b genre is more relevant than ever, as soul music is food for the soul.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"> On this release, you will hear the songster melodically singing his heart out pleading and asking<br />
&#8220;Why&#8221; the woman who adores won&#8217;t leave her toxic relationship for him. In a serene and serenading voice the Kansas City native says things like &#8220;Why you keep putting up with these lames, why you keep letting him play these games, I see a predicament and I ask myself why?&#8221; These raw and honest bars, appear in the catchy chorus that sets the tone for the whole song. Every rift and word sung, is full of passion, intention and love. That is probably due to the fact that he is heavily influenced by <strong>Sam Cooke</strong>, <strong>Al Green</strong>, <strong>Gerald Levert</strong>, <strong>Avant</strong>, <strong>Musiq Soulchild</strong>, Anthony Hamilton and <strong>David Hollister</strong>. These R&amp;B/Soul legends sound&#8217;s are weaved into LeVelle&#8217;s melodies, runs, and beat choices.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Pushing passed hardship, naysayers and the ways of the industry, <strong>LB</strong> has created a record that both men and women can grow to appreciate. The most impressive part of &#8220;Why&#8221; is the harmonious bliss that travels throughout your body from beginning to end. This by far his strongest material to date as he is only getting better and better over time. When you work hard you will reap the benefits of that hard work. That is the case for this rising superstar.</div>
<div></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Having had the opportunity to grace the same stage as R&amp;B crooner <strong>Charlie Wilson</strong>, <strong>Anthony Hamilton</strong>, Dave Hollister, Avant, <strong>El Debarge</strong>,<strong> TheBarkay’s</strong>, <strong>The Dazz Band</strong>, Al Green, <strong>The Temptations</strong>, <strong>Robin Thicke</strong>,<strong> After 7</strong>, <strong>TonyTerry</strong>, <strong>Trey Songz</strong>, <strong>En Vogue</strong>, <strong>SWV</strong>, <strong>Shanice</strong>, <strong>Tank</strong>, <strong>Silk</strong>, <strong>Dru Hill</strong>, <strong>K-Ci &amp; Jojo</strong>, <strong>Frankie Beverly</strong>, <strong>Fantasia</strong>, <strong>Big Bub</strong>, <strong>Howard Hewett</strong>, <strong>Calvin Richardson</strong>, <strong>Eric Benet</strong>, <strong>Ginuwine</strong>, <strong>Marcus Houston</strong>, <strong>Cedric The Entertainer</strong>, he is more than ready to break into the mainstream music circuit.</div>
<div></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><strong>LB</strong> has just completed his debut album called <em>Le Velle My Journey</em>. This album portrays his strong appreciation for women in general and the women who have greatly influenced his life. As he continues to be a prime contender in the R&amp;B game, press play below to stream his &#8220;<strong>Why</strong>&#8221; single.</div>
