Born in New Orleans and raised in Memphis after Hurricane Katrina, Bleu Levees is a recording artist and creative director redefining what Southern artistry can look and feel like. Blending music, film, and visual storytelling, Bleu has built a cinematic universe where every song feels like a scene and every project invites listeners into an entirely new world.
Following the release of his debut album, The Way of the Cat, Bleu returns with his highly anticipated sophomore project, Not the Normal SOUTHEAUX, an ambitious body of work that challenges expectations of Southern music through immersive storytelling, bold visuals, and fearless creativity.
This week on The XX Files, we dive into the inspiration behind his latest project, the influence of New Orleans and Memphis on his artistic identity, the importance of originality in today’s music industry, and why creating an experience matters just as much as creating a song. From anime and A24 films to live performances and creative risks, this conversation explores what it truly means to build a world instead of just making music.
