Josh Levi has proven that he has what it takes to drive R&B lovers of the female persuasion crazy whenever he steps to the mic. The crooner has been relatively quiet since last summer’s release of his EP DISC TWO. He’s not staying that way, though. In fact, he’s ready to talk his romantic ish with the release of his latest single “EGO.”

The song finds Josh leaning hard into a player persona as he finds himself smitten with a pretty young thing who feels she’s all that. Though he’s interested, he refuses to let it show. Instead, he opts to play it cool, calm and collected to get the result that he wants.

As producer Tone Jones supplies him with a slow, vibey synth groove, he states his agenda on the song’s chorus. “Of course I want you, won’t hear it from me though / I’m not other people, messin’ with your ego, ego,” he sings. “Now I got you hooked on that placebo / You can’t tell what’s real, messin’ with your ego, ego.”

The song’s sentiment seems mad toxic, but the singer explained his point of view in an Instagram post about the single. “I don’t force anything. I don’t chase anything,” he says in the video. “I really just surrender and allow my talent and my energy and my work to speak for itself. ‘EGO’ is about that.”
