GRAMMY® Award-nominated artist Josh Levi returns with the evocative slow jam, “HOLD ON”. The deeply sensual track heralds the arrival of Levi’s debut studio album, “HYDRAULIC”.
HYDRAULIC marks the start of an extraordinary new era for Josh Levi. The album includes such recent favorites as “DON’T GO,” joined by a high-energy official music video – directed by London-based filmmaker Ben Cole (Alicia Keys, Kylie Minogue) and featuring choreography by the renowned Sean Bankhead (FKA Twigs, Tate McRae) – streaming now at YouTube HERE. In addition, an electrifying performance of “DON’T GO” captured live from Vevo Studios is streaming HERE.
On “Hold On” Josh Levi shares, ”hold on is about giving your best shot and trying to hold on to something you’re unsure about. It’s a split conversation with myself and someone I care about— that moment where you catch the mixed signals, but you also catch yourself before you let someone mess with your dignity. this song is for the people that can’t hold back how they feel because they’ve learned not to be taken for granted.”
Levi first introduced fans to HYDRAULIC with the hypnotic “FEEL THE BA$$ (Prelude) [Feat. BEAM],” available everywhere HERE. Hailed by Rated R&B as “an early bid for summer anthem” for its “knocking production and club-friendly lyrics (that) make you want to get up and dance,” the innovative, booming bass-driven track is joined by an official visualizer streaming HERE.
Named by PEOPLE among “The 25 Emerging Musical Artists You Should Add to Your Playlist” as well as by EBONY as one of “9 Artists That Need Your Attention,” Levi spent 2024 winning over audiences with an array of show-stealing live appearances, including a special guest run with breakthrough rap duo Flyana Boss on their sold-out Bosstanical Garden Tour and a festival debut performance alongside Lil Wayne, Summer Walker, Latto, Gucci Mane, and more at Dallas, TX’s TwoGether Land. 2025 saw him ascend even higher, with Spotify declaring him along the year’s “Artists To Watch” and surprise role as special guest on R&B supergroup FLO’s Access All Areas Tour, highlighted by sold-out shows in New York, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, and his hometown of Houston, TX. With all that powerful energy at his back, Josh Levi is now poised to push to even greater heights with his full-length debut album, HYDRAULIC, rising to the vanguard of modern R&B with his dynamic vocals, soulful spirit, and captivating breadth of experience.
