We were introduced to Lois Levin in Feb ('23) with a reimagined jazz
rendition of The Clash's "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" as the first releases on the new Liverpool based Baltic Jazz
Recordings label. Subsequent releases by the label have been a cover
of Culture Club's "Changing Every Day" by Ni Maxine and an album "Revisioned" on which Steve Levine reimagined eight songs predominantly from the
70s & 80s.
The label's latest offering is a five track EP also titled "Revisioned" (could get confusing) which primarily features Lois Levin and
includes songs that she has written.
Leven wrote "Burden" when she was 15 whilst trying to understand her father's alcoholism
growing up. She released it as her debut single in Jul '21. The EP
includes two 'revisioned' versions, the full length and a radio edit
which is still a minute longer than the 2021 original (live video
performance below) and is a much more soulful rendition.
She also wrote two of the other three songs, "LaLa (I Don't Wanna Talk About It)" and "Pheromones", with the final song being a cover of the Christine McVie written "Why", a Fleetwood Mac album track from their 1977 eponymous album (which
has already been playlisted by Jazz FM's Robbie Vincent).
All tracks have been skilfully produced by Steve Levine.
