Can you hold on when I’m slipping away?
The beloved bass music trio Levity has joined forces with the multiplatinum singer-songwriter K.Flay for an emotional, high-energy bass banger, Slipping Away.
Released on Wednesday, October 14, through Ultra Records, Slipping Away marks the final single off Levity’s highly anticipated forthcoming album Escapism Vol. 2, joining previous hits such as Can’t Get Enough, Heartbreak, and Neon Soul.
First debuted during Levity’s full-circle mainstage performance at Electric Forest, the track made its rounds throughout the summer on festival stages like Lost Lands and Experts Only before K.Flay joined the Chicago trio for an official live vocal debut at Red Rocks on October 2.
Pushing further into the more melodic side of their sound, Slipping Away stands as Levity’s most emotional release to date, exploring themes of disconnection, vulnerability, internal reflection, and the struggle of drifting apart.
“This is the most emotional song we’ve ever made,” Levity shared, “it’s already comforted us/helped us a lot, so we hope it can do the same for you.”
Pairing K.Flay’s deep-cutting lyricism and haunting vocals with a kaleidoscope of laser-like synths, warping soundscapes, and vibrant, hard-hitting drops of bass, Levity not only ventures into new sonic territories but also delivers an immersive, full-sensory sonic experience.
Arriving after a year of major milestones for Levity, including bringing dubstep to Coachella’s mainstage, a sold-out headline debut at Red Rocks, and touring North America on the Summer Program Tour with Tape B, Slipping Away marks another defining moment for the trio as they continue to expand their sound and push their artistry in new directions.
