GRAMMY Award-nominated sensation Josh Levi unveils his debut studio album HYDRAULIC available via Raedio/Atlantic Records.
The 15-track project features guest appearances from BEAM and FLO alongside production from multiplatinum hitmakers London On Da Track, MNEK, Troy Taylor, Camper and more.
HYDRAULIC marks the start of an extraordinary new era for Josh Levi following what has already proven a monumental artistic journey.
The album includes such recent favorites as evocative slow jam “HOLD ON” and the high energy “DON’T GO,” which interpolates the Destiny’s Child classic “No, No, No.”
The official music video – directed by London-based filmmaker Ben Cole (Alicia Keys, Kylie Minogue) features choreography by the renowned Sean Bankhead (FKA Twigs, Tate McRae)
On his debut album, Josh Levi shares, “Love, like hydraulics, is a system that lifts, dips, and demands care and maintenance. It reflects the ups and downs in life. Love can also be seen as a finely tuned system of emotions, like a hydraulic car.
It soars in moments of joy and dips in the lows, but it takes constant effort to maintain. Similar to a mechanic, I continue to keep myself functional even when the system – my heart/mind – breaks down so that I can always keep moving.”
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.
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.
This summer, Billboard named Josh as their R&B Rookie of the Month for July.
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.
