Levi's Correspondence: A Brief Analysis

Levi the Poet released Correspondence (a fiction) in November of 2014, and it is a completely fictional album in which each track tells a different part of the same story. The resulting unity throughout the tracks makes the album more powerful than other works he has produced in that the themes are explored across more tracks and thus are developed more deeply. Additionally, it is possible to become emotionally attached to the characters as the listener follows the journey of love and hope against all odds. It is evident when Levi speaks that he has chosen each word to portray the characters’ emotions as clearly as possible in order to intensify the emotional experience.

Art gives people a safe place to express their deepest emotions and as Levi expresses his emotions through Correspondence, he gives people a way to explain how they feel to others around
