Leven Kali: It’s chill and fun vibes brewing in the ‘Sleepwalking’ visualizer

Feel like turning up with June officially here? We’re weeks away from summer starting and crooner Leven Kali delivers an anthem for the hottest season of the year courtesy of the ‘Sleepwalking’ tune.

It’s a visualizer and fun vibe combined. Lose your mind to the chillness.

GRAMMY® Award-nominated multihyphenate Leven Kali shares a new single entitled “Sleepwalking” out now via Def Jam Recordings. Listen HERE. Watch the official visualizer HERE. It heralds the arrival of his forthcoming LK99: The Prelude EP on June 20. 
 
“Sleepwalking” features a funky electric guitar with a head-nodding rhythm. Leven matches this energy with an impressive vocal performance, showcasing his high register in the captivating hook, “I’ve been sleepwalking anddaydreaming.” It highlights his clever lyricism and innovative songcraft.

It lands on the heels of “Crystal Ball.”, Rated R&B spotlighted how “‘Crystal Ball’ is driven by the force of rock-leaning guitars and percussion, yet still maintains the essence of emotion rooted in R&B. Lyrically, the song declares Kali’s devotion to a love interest if given the chance.” SoulBounce raved, “Leven Kali has been on one hell of a singles run this year.”

Next up, Leven will join SiR on tour this summer. After launching last night in Raleigh, NC, this jaunt visits major markets coast-to-coast and concludes on June 15 in Minneapolis, MN. See the full tour routing below. Purchase tickets HERE.
 
The new music continues what is shaping into a breakout 2025 for the rising phenomenon. Earlier this year, he dropped the fan favorites “Are U Still” and “Pieces” both joined by impressive performance videos. VIBE raved, “Leven Kali is back and arguably, this is the drop we’ve been looking forward to the most,” and Earmilk professed, “‘ARE U STILL’ features the same poignant and sincere songwriting, but with a more jazzy flow. Kali’s buttery vocals slide over animated drums with some intense moments of instrumentation, making for an explosive entrance to a new year.” Rated R&B applauded, “The funky song feels like the sun peeking through the clouds after a storm, hinting at clearer skies ahead.”
 
Leven Kali stands out as a multi-GRAMMY®-nominee for his work as a producer and writer on Beyoncé’s Renaissance and COWBOY CARTER. He served as a co-writer on “Alien Superstar,” “Plastic Off the Sofa,” “Virgo’s Groove,” and “Summer Renaissance”, which took home a GRAMMY® for “Best Dance/Electronic Album.”
