There’s a certain alchemy that happens when an artist bares his soul and pairs it with the steady hand of a seasoned producer. For Levi Foster, that spark has become a blaze. His debut album, We Made Fire, out now, is equal parts confessional, hopeful, and gritty, an honest introduction from an artist determined to carve his own space in country music’s ever-expanding landscape.
A Nashville Pedigree Behind the Boards
Produced at Cartoon Moon Recording in Nashville by none other than Ken Coomer, three-time Grammy-nominated drummer and producer, We Made Fire arrives with serious weight behind it. Coomer, a founding member of Wilco and Uncle Tupelo, is a fixture in Americana and alternative country’s DNA, bringing both edge and authenticity to Foster’s first full-length project. His pedigree stretches from post-punk to roots rock, making him the perfect match for an album that doesn’t want to fit neatly in one box.
Honest Sparks, Unexpected Flames
For Foster, this album is more than a collection of songs, it’s a personal reckoning.“I wanted the album to feel honest, like something familiar, but with a few surprises along the way,” Foster shares. “I got to explore the places and people that shaped me, blending heartache, hope, and a little grit. Putting out my first record feels like a huge step, and it’s been a long time in the making. I’m so proud of the work and patience that went into it, and it feels good to finally share it with the world.”
That sentiment bleeds into every track. Across 10 songs, Foster builds a musical world you want to step into, where every lyric feels worn-in but never tired, and every melody walks the tightrope between vulnerability and strength.
Songs That Smolder
Standouts are immediate. “Olivia” is tender yet textured, a ballad that quietly demands a second listen. “California Gold” feels expansive, a sun-drenched anthem for chasing dreams and leaving pieces of yourself behind along the way. And the album’s closer, “Tear Stained Letter,” is a gut-punch finale, a raw exit that lingers long after the music fades.
Lighting His Own Path
With We Made Fire, Levi Foster doesn’t just debut, he declares. Guided by Coomer’s seasoned ear but fueled by his own stories, Foster delivers a first record that feels lived-in, patient, and purposeful. It’s the sound of an artist striking the match for the first time and making sure the flame will last.
