Level 4, the burgeoning R&B quartet making waves with their genre-defying sound, gives fans a holiday treat with their latest single, "Christmas With You". From the very first downbeat, it's evident that these four voices are more than harmonies, they're a conversation, a sly push and pull between then and now.
Every member adds something different, a husky, bluesy croon that pays homage to '60s soul, a breezy rap flow that feels totally modern, and so on. And it's wild how neatly all these contradictions fit together. The result is a warm, colorful fusion that's thoughtful yet refreshingly timely musical firewood of the sort that could ignite any winter evening.
"Christmas With You" strikes a balance between classic holiday sentiment and Level 4's inimitable style. The production is clean, leaving the vocals clear and adding a light groove that makes you want to sway, and if you're by the fireplace, snap, maybe even dance. It's a song small enough for quiet moments and lively enough to stand out on a busy holiday playlist.
Underneath all the technical flair, there's an emotional core to how Level 4 delivers. The lyrics are sweet without ever being saccharine, and the group's chemistry makes it easy to buy into what they're selling in terms of joy, memories, and connection. It's not your typical seasonal track, it's an announcement that Level 4 is prepared to establish its own lane in modern R&B.
