But at its heart, Liberated is about transformation—emerging from the wreckage with renewed purpose and a hopeful heart.
💿 Fans of Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell, and confessional queer storytelling will feel deeply seen.
With its mix of original songs and standout covers, Liberated is equal parts heartache and healing. From the flirty giddiness of “Best Day Ever” to the soul-punch of “Too Deep To Go Down,” this is a breakup album with backbone—and a sense of humor.

⬇️ Track-by-Track: The Emotional Story Behind Liberated
1. Best Day Ever
A sunny, swing-infused crush anthem. Pure glee. Pure charm. Think early love, singing in the kitchen, and that goofy grin you can’t shake.
2. Summer Rain
A sensual, slow-burning invitation. Set against a stormy backdrop, this gay love song captures the sacred tenderness of two bodies and souls in harmony.
3. Too Deep To Go Down
A chilling, sober-eyed meditation on desire and addiction. One of Levi’s most soul-baring sobriety anthems—equal parts restraint and reckoning.
4. Worlds Apart (feat. Jason Antone)
This gay country duet explores reconciliation between two men separated by trauma, misunderstanding, and time. A rare and powerful LGBTQ+ country ballad.
5. Stranger In My House
Levi reinvents this Ronnie Milsap classic with a noir-like tension, leaning into suspicion, intimacy, and emotional vacancy.
6. Walls
A plea for emotional access. This piano ballad confronts trauma armor with radical compassion: “I can’t walk through walls—you have to let me in.”
7. Unafraid
Gentle, brave, and full of grace. A soft-spoken anthem for anyone learning to show their scars and trust again.
8. Nobody In His Right Mind (feat. Kelli Owens Hutton)
Levi’s take on the Keith Whitley classic adds a bittersweet duet twist. Heartache meets regret in this country weeper.
9. Liberate You
This redemption track flips the script: letting go of resentment to set yourself free, not the other person.
10. Wanted
Raw and riveting. A breakdown of self-worth and emotional abandonment, haunted by the refrain: “I wanna be enough for you."
11. Still Around (feat. Kelli Owens Hutton)
A nostalgic, late-night call to a past love. Levi’s lyrics ache with honesty and longing for closure—or a second chance.
12. Dawn Of A New Day
The fan-favorite closer. Hopeful, spirited, and triumphant, it leaves listeners on a high note after the wreckage of heartbreak.
