Omega Levine Explores Pacific Roots on New Single “Sweet & Sour”
Auckland singer-songwriter and performer Omega Levine continues his return with "Sweet and Sour," a release signaling a fresh sonic direction rooted in his Pacific heritage.
Following his recent comeback single "All Things New," his first official single in six years, Levine this time blends funk, R&B, hip-hop, and pop with subtle rock influences. Driven by a catchy hook, groove-heavy production, and layered percussion, the track also draws inspiration from Levine’s Samoan heritage, marking the beginning of a deeper exploration into that influence within his music.
The release also features strong Pacific collaboration with INF of SWIDT and ANKA, alongside AIRPORTS, with NZ On Air Pasifika support.
“This record represents real life. The sweet moments, the messy moments, the tension, the love, and everything in between. Growing up Samoan in Aotearoa, music always carried emotion and storytelling, and this song naturally came from that space,” Levine says.
Known for his versatility as a songwriter and performer, Levine has spent years building a reputation across Aotearoa’s music scene through collaborations spanning electronic, pop, worship, and live performance. With "Sweet & Sour," he steps into a space that feels new and authentic, showcasing his ability to create music that connects commercially while remaining true to his roots.
"Sweet & Sour" (feat. INF, Anka, and Airports) is available now on all streaming platforms and the Music Video will follow this June.
