Cool Cover

Artist: Lev Snowe
Single: “Someday Soon”
Details: Canadian singer-songwriter Lev Snowe has an adorable cat photo for the cover of single “Someday Soon.” I can’t blame him. That’s just a perfect cat expression. This track came out a couple of years ago, but I believe Snowe is working on new tracks.
