  Love now and did you fall in love last time?

  Love was stronger than anything else and.

• 00:09

  I love you more than anything.

  Just love, love from the New York Times, I'm Anna Martin.

  This is modern love, and today I'm talking to singer songwriter Levee.

• 00:24

  Don't you notice how I get quiet when there's no one else?

  You might think from the warm, mature tone in her voice, the jazz and bossa nova influence that Levy's from another generation, but she's only 25 years old.

  Look at me.

• 00:49

  I'm as hopeless as a kitten up a tree.

  She got her start in the most Gen Z way possible on TikTok.

  During the pandemic, Levi started posting videos of herself playing guitar, asking her followers what they wanted to hear from her.

  Does anybody else feel like everyone around them is falling in love?

• 01:12

  I wrote a song about it.

• 01:14

  Her viral videos led to her debut album called Everything I know about Love.

• 01:19

  Then a second record called Bewitched, which she won a Grammy for this year, and now shes on a nationwide tour.

  So even though Levy's music sounds so nostalgic, it's clearly of the moment.

• 01:32

  Levi is speaking to her, mostly young fans about experiences they're likely going through right now.

• 01:38

  First love, first heartbreak.

• 01:40

  Feeling like you're someone's second pick.
