Kip Moore just made his return with “Levee,” an anthemic, guitar-slinging banger built for the fast lane, out everywhere now through Virgin Music Group. The multi-platinum singer/songwriter co-produced the track with Andrew DeRoberts (Stephen Wilson Jr., Tate McRae, Zac Brown Band), and it features guest vocals from Hillary Lindsey. An official video, directed by PJ Brown, follows a wayward Moore across a barren southwestern landscape.
Moore dug into where the song came from. “‘Levee’ is an expression of frustration with the loudness of the world. Everybody being self-righteous, the constant bickering. We’re simply in a graceless age. People are obsessed with their own voice and being the beacon of truth. We’re all flawed humans from a million different backgrounds. I can feel the ground hemorrhaging. That opening verse came out of me in seconds as a scream,” he says.
The track storms out of the gate with the kind of full-throttle energy that’s defined Moore’s biggest moments. It’s a loud, cathartic release of frustration, and it lands hard with electric guitars roaring underneath.
“Levee” arrives alongside news of Moore’s Reason To Believe World Tour, where he’ll headline stadiums and arenas across Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Europe, the US, and the UK. South Africa stands out as a highlight, with a run of shows at SuperSport Park Stadium in Pretoria and Cape Town’s GrandWest Arena marking his first trip back since 2024. He’s built a massive following there, with his 2023 arena show becoming the fastest sell-out in Cape Town history, topping Sting and drawing crowds of more than 40,000 fans.
The world tour follows a co-headlining run with Billy Currington and select arena dates supporting Cody Johnson. Before the global trek kicks off, Moore heads overseas for a performance at the Holland International Blues Festival in the Netherlands and a set at State Fayre in Chelmsford, UK.
