Liv.e

Liv.e (pronounced “Liv”) is a genre-defying singer, songwriter, and producer known for her experimental blend of R&B, soul, jazz, and hip-hop. Originally from Dallas, Texas, she emerged as a standout voice in alternative R&B with a distinct lo-fi aesthetic and freeform approach to songwriting.

Her music is characterized by hazy, dreamlike production, unconventional song structures, and deeply introspective lyrics that explore themes of self-discovery, love, and personal growth. Drawing influence from artists like SA-RA, Georgia Anne Muldrow, D’Angelo, and Madlib, Liv.e seamlessly fuses neo-soul with psychedelic and hip-hop elements, crafting a sound that feels both nostalgic and futuristic.

She gained widespread attention with her 2020 debut album, Couldn’t Wait to Tell You…, which received critical acclaim for its raw and unfiltered storytelling. In 2023, she followed up with Girl in the Half Pearl, an album that pushed her sound even further into experimental territory, blending glitchy beats, jazz improvisation, and spoken-word poetry.

Beyond her music, Liv.e is known for her artistic versatility, often incorporating visual and performance art into her work. With a constantly evolving sound and fearless creativity, she remains one of the most exciting and unconventional voices in contemporary music.
