To press play on Levina’s second album, ‘Invincible Summer’, is to simultaneously bear witness to an essential journey towards connection and self-discovery, and to accept the extended hand of a friend.

While in the depths of despair, Levina came across an Albert Camus quote: “In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.”

Now, she hopes her own words can provide the same sense of respite. “I want to tell whoever is listening that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and whatever you're experiencing right now will pass. Nothing lasts forever. Everything changes,” she says.
